Quick Answer

Can Xero connect to UAE e-invoicing?

Yes — via InvoiceUAE. Xero does not natively support UAE Peppol PINT-AE e-invoicing or direct ASP submission. InvoiceUAE connects to Xero via OAuth 2.0 API for automated real-time sync, or accepts Xero CSV exports for a simpler setup. In both cases, InvoiceUAE generates FTA-compliant PINT-AE XML and submits to your UAE ASP.

Native Support

Does Xero support UAE Peppol e-invoicing natively?

No. While Xero supports UAE VAT calculations and has e-invoicing capabilities for some markets (Australia's PEPPOL network, for example), UAE Peppol PINT-AE is not currently supported natively by Xero. Xero does not generate the SBDH + UBL 2.1 XML format required by UAE FTA-approved ASPs and has no built-in UAE ASP submission pathway.

InvoiceUAE bridges this gap. The Xero OAuth 2.0 connection takes under 5 minutes to set up and requires no changes to your Xero organization. InvoiceUAE reads your approved invoices and contacts, generates UAE-compliant PINT-AE XML, and handles all ASP submission from its own dashboard.

How It Works

How Xero Connects to UAE Peppol via InvoiceUAE

1

Register at InvoiceUAE and Click "Connect Xero"

Create your free InvoiceUAE account at invoiceuae.ae and click "Connect Xero" from the integrations panel. No credit card required for the 15-day trial. The setup process takes under 5 minutes.

2

Authorize via Xero OAuth 2.0

You are redirected to Xero's official authorization page. Select your Xero organization and grant InvoiceUAE read-only access to your invoices and contacts. InvoiceUAE never stores your Xero credentials — only an encrypted OAuth access token. You can revoke access at any time from the Xero Connected Apps page in your Xero account settings.

3

InvoiceUAE Syncs Invoices, Credit Notes, and Contacts from Xero

After authorization, InvoiceUAE immediately pulls all approved invoices, credit notes, and contacts from your Xero organization. Auto-sync runs every 30 minutes — new invoices approved in Xero appear in InvoiceUAE automatically. Alternatively, export invoices from Xero as CSV (Business > Invoices > Export) and upload directly to InvoiceUAE for manual batch processing.

4

Enrich Xero Contacts with UAE PINT-AE Compliance Fields

Add UAE Peppol mandatory fields per Xero contact (customer): TRN (15-digit UAE tax registration number), Emirate code (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, etc.), and Supply Type (Goods or Services). One-time setup per contact — InvoiceUAE stores these values permanently and applies them to all future invoices from that contact.

5

AI Validator Checks Every Invoice Before Submission

InvoiceUAE's AI validator checks every Xero invoice for PINT-AE compliance before it reaches your ASP: TRN format validation (15-digit numeric), VAT calculation verification against line totals, missing mandatory PINT-AE fields, and supply type consistency. Any issues are highlighted with clear correction guidance.

6

Generate Peppol PINT-AE XML and Submit to Your UAE ASP

InvoiceUAE generates the full SBDH + UBL 2.1 PINT-AE XML from your Xero invoice data and submits to your UAE FTA-approved ASP with one click from the InvoiceUAE dashboard. Real-time acceptance/rejection status, email and WhatsApp alerts, and a complete audit trail are included.

FAQ

Xero UAE E-Invoicing — Frequently Asked Questions

Can Xero connect to UAE Peppol e-invoicing?+
Xero does not natively support UAE Peppol PINT-AE e-invoicing or direct ASP submission. InvoiceUAE connects to Xero via OAuth 2.0 API for automated real-time sync, or accepts Xero CSV exports for a simpler setup. In both cases, InvoiceUAE generates FTA-compliant PINT-AE XML and submits to your UAE FTA-approved ASP.
Does InvoiceUAE modify my Xero data?+
No. InvoiceUAE is completely read-only with respect to your Xero organization. It connects via Xero OAuth 2.0 with read-only permissions and never creates, edits, or deletes any invoices, contacts, or records in Xero. You can verify InvoiceUAE's permissions and revoke access at any time from the Connected Apps section of your Xero account settings.
Can I use Xero CSV export instead of the OAuth API?+
Yes. In Xero, go to Business > Invoices, filter and select your invoices, and click Export to download as CSV. Upload this CSV to InvoiceUAE, map the columns to UAE PINT-AE fields once (the mapping is saved permanently), and InvoiceUAE handles XML generation and ASP submission. The CSV method is ideal when you prefer manual batch control or want to review invoices before uploading.
How often does InvoiceUAE sync invoices from Xero?+
InvoiceUAE auto-syncs your Xero invoices every 30 minutes via the Xero OAuth 2.0 API. Only invoices with "Approved" status in Xero are pulled — Draft invoices are skipped. You can also trigger a manual sync at any time from the InvoiceUAE dashboard. New invoices approved in Xero appear in InvoiceUAE within 30 minutes automatically.
What UAE-specific fields does InvoiceUAE add that Xero lacks?+
Xero supports UAE VAT but does not have Peppol PINT-AE specific fields. InvoiceUAE adds: Customer TRN (15-digit UAE tax registration number), Emirate code (PINT-AE BT-35), Supply Type (Goods or Services — affects PINT-AE allowance/charge codes), and SBDH routing headers required for Peppol network delivery to your UAE FTA-approved ASP. These fields are added once per Xero contact and stored permanently.
Which Xero plans work with InvoiceUAE?+
InvoiceUAE works with all current Xero plans that include API access: Starter, Standard, Premium, and Ultimate. All these Xero plans provide OAuth 2.0 API access for third-party integrations. The CSV export method is available on all Xero plans. Contact InvoiceUAE if you are unsure whether your specific Xero plan supports API access.
What does InvoiceUAE generate from Xero data?+
InvoiceUAE generates: (1) Peppol PINT-AE XML (SBDH + UBL 2.1) for ASP submission from Xero invoice data, (2) JSON for API or ERP system integrations, (3) CSV invoice report for reconciliation and auditing, (4) Excel VAT summary with Box 1–4 return data for the UAE FTA portal, (5) PDF invoices for buyers with TRN and QR code, and (6) a full audit trail of all submissions, acceptances, and rejections.
