Xero

Apply the best Xero promo code or card offer you qualify for, then go through ShopBack before you pay, where ShopBack Cashback works like a discount on the same order, only easier than a promo code. There is nothing to find or type, it does not use up your one Xero promo code, and it still lowers the price when no code is running. Part of what you pay comes back as Cashback: check the rate shown on ShopBack's Xero page before you buy.

Buying Xero: pick your plan, then buy through ShopBack before you pay: ShopBack Cashback works like a discount, only easier than a promo code. Xero is cloud-based accounting software made by Xero Limited, a company founded in Wellington, New Zealand in 2006 by Rod Drury and now used by small businesses, accountants and bookkeepers across Australia. The Australian product connects to your bank, sends invoices and quotes, reconciles transactions, tracks GST and lodges BAS, runs payroll with superannuation, and integrates with more than 1,000 business apps. Plans are sold monthly on xero.com/au. Buy a paid plan through the ShopBack Xero page and the purchase earns Cashback at the live rate shown there.

Xero sells five tiers in Australia: Ignite, Grow, Comprehensive, Ultimate and Ultra. Grow lists at $78 a month, Comprehensive at $107 and Ultimate 10 at $143, all in Australian dollars including GST, with Ignite and Ultra priced on the pricing page. Subscriptions bill monthly, auto-renew until cancelled, and you can move to a cheaper plan one month after upgrading. Payroll, Expenses and Projects have included user counts, and going over them adds charges. ShopBack cashback tracks on the paid plan purchase, not on later monthly renewals.

Xero's standing offer for new Australian customers is 80 percent off the base plan for the first 3 months, after which the regular price applies and renews monthly, and it runs a separate one-month-free offer at times. These are intro offers rather than seasonal sales, so there is no reason to wait for Black Friday or EOFY. The sensible timing is whenever you are ready to commit to a paid plan, ideally before a BAS quarter starts. Activate through the ShopBack Xero page first so the intro offer and the cashback apply to the same purchase.

MYOB is the long-standing Australian accounting brand and Xero publishes its own Xero vs MYOB comparison page for the Australian market. Both handle GST, BAS, payroll with superannuation and bank feeds. Xero's pitch is a single cloud product with monthly plans, a large app marketplace and the JAX assistant that categorises bank transactions, while MYOB offers a wider range of desktop and cloud editions. Ask your accountant which one they work in day to day. If the answer is Xero, buy the plan through the ShopBack Xero page.

QuickBooks Online is the other global cloud accounting product sold in Australia, and Xero maintains a Xero vs QuickBooks comparison page for local buyers. Both cover invoicing, bank reconciliation, GST and BAS, and both scale through tiered monthly plans. Differences come down to the number of included users, payroll handling, inventory, multi-currency and which one your bookkeeper prefers. Compare the standard price after the intro period, and count the payroll employees you need. Whichever you choose, a paid plan bought through the matching ShopBack page is the tracked purchase.

Yes. Xero lets you move to a less expensive plan one month after upgrading, and you can upgrade at any time from inside the organisation settings. The subscription keeps renewing monthly until you cancel it. Changing plans later does not create a new ShopBack tracked purchase, since the exclusion list covers recurring payments, so pick the plan you actually need at the point you buy through ShopBack rather than planning to adjust.

Yes. Xero's Australian pricing page states that prices are in AUD and include GST, and your monthly invoice is issued at the end of each billing period and charged to the payment method entered at purchase. Payment fees for accepting online invoice payments are billed separately from the base subscription and are not eligible for subscription discounts.

Go through ShopBack before you pay and the Cashback tracks to your ShopBack account. Start from the ShopBack Xero page, go to xero.com, pick your plan and complete the paid purchase. The current Cashback is shown on the Xero page on ShopBack.

The validation window is 125 days, so the subscription generally needs to stay active through that period for the Cashback to confirm. If a purchase first tracks at a different rate, ShopBack adjusts it to the correct rate once the transaction details are confirmed.
