Prediko's Xero integration lets Shopify and DTC brands push purchase orders from Prediko into Xero as draft POs so your finance team never re-keys a PO by hand. When a PO is ready in Prediko, you push it to Xero in one click, and it arrives as a Draft purchase order with the full cost breakdown already filled in.
Availability: The Xero integration is available to organisations in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US. This is a Xero restriction on the connection type Prediko uses (Custom connection).
What does this Xero integration do?
You can push any Purchase Order from Prediko to Xero using the Push to Xero action on the PO.
Prediko creates a Draft purchase order in Xero containing the supplier, PO reference, order and delivery dates, currency, and the full line-item detail, including SKU costs, any named extra costs (e.g. customs, insurance), shipping and tax.
Your team then reviews and authorises the draft in Xero as normal.
How does the sync work?
Manual, on demand. There is no scheduled or automatic sync. A PO only reaches Xero when someone pushes it.
One-way: Prediko → Xero. Changes made in Xero are never read back into Prediko.
Each push creates a new draft. Pushing does not update, overwrite or delete anything that already exists in Xero. If you edit a PO in Prediko after pushing it, that edit is not sent to the existing Xero draft. You must update the draft in Xero, or push again and remove the superseded draft.
Receiving stock in Prediko has no effect in Xero. No bill, invoice or stock movement is created or changed there.
What does inventory management for your Xero account look like?
Prediko's app will help your brand

Scope of the integration
Currently, this integration is limited to Purchase Orders only.
Supported:
Pushing Purchase Orders (with their full cost breakdown) from Prediko to Xero as Draft POs.
Not supported:
Any sync from Xero back to Prediko
Automatic or scheduled syncing
Re-syncing or updating a PO already pushed to Xero

Connecting Xero to Prediko
When you create the app connection in Xero's developer portal, you'll be offered three integration types: Web app, Mobile or desktop app, and Custom connection. Choose Custom connection. This lets Prediko connect securely in the background without anyone re-authorising it each time.
Note: Xero only offers Custom connections to organisations in Australia, New Zealand, the UK and the US. If your organisation is elsewhere, Custom connection will be unavailable. Please contact our support team.
What we need from your team
Client id and Client secret
Go to developer.xero.com and create a new app (custom connection)
Then go to developer.xero.com/app/manage
Open the app created for Prediko
Go to the Configuration tab
Under Scopes, enable both:
accounting.invoices
accounting.contacts
Click Save
Then share the credentials
Note: Older Xero connections used accounting.transactions. If you set yours up before March 2026, Prediko still supports it. You don’t need to change anything.
Summary
Prediko stays your planning command centre, and Xero stays your ledger of truth. The integration is a one-way courier: you decide when a PO travels, and it lands in Xero as a draft ready for approval.
Prediko also integrates with QuickBooks in the same way (manual per-PO push, one-way, same field set). The main difference is how you connect: QuickBooks uses a one-time browser authorisation instead of a Custom connection.
