API integrations that make your apps work together
Most businesses run on several apps that don’t talk to each other. We connect them through their APIs, from Xero and Shopify to your CRM, payment gateway and custom software, so information is entered once and flows everywhere it is needed. We build Xero apps of our own, so accounting integrations are our speciality.

The problems we solve
If any of these sound like your business, we can help. We start with the problem, then build what fixes it.
We re-type the same information into three different systems.
Our online store and our accounts never agree.
The off-the-shelf connector doesn’t do what we need.
Month-end takes days because data is in the wrong place.

API integrations: questions and answers
Straight answers to the questions we hear most. Can’t see yours? Ask us directly.
Which systems can you integrate?
Any system with an API: Xero, Shopify, WooCommerce, HubSpot and other CRMs, Stripe and payment gateways, booking tools, Microsoft 365 and your own custom software.
Do you build custom Xero integrations?
Yes. Xero is our speciality. Our own products Invoice X and Dragon are built on the Xero API, and we build Xero integrations for clients in New Zealand and Australia.
Can you connect Shopify to Xero properly?
Yes. We record sales, fees, refunds and GST correctly, and check the setup with your accountant.
What if an app doesn’t have an API?
We can often use exports, email parsing or automation tools instead, and we’ll tell you honestly if a connection isn’t reliable.
What happens if an integration fails?
We build in alerts and retries, so problems are spotted and fixed quickly instead of silently losing data.
