Your OptiPay facility has no Xero feed. Import the movement report as one.

OptiPay's Xero integration runs one way: it reads your receivables ledger so the platform can fund against invoices. No bank feed exists for the facility, so advances, collections, fees and charges never reach Xero. StatementClear lets you review the statement, then send eligible lines to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year; older history uses CSV.

An OptiPay facility moves money constantly - advances drawn down, debtor payments collected, fees and charges deducted inside the account - and none of it reaches Xero on its own. So every month someone exports the movement report and rebuilds the facility in the books by hand. StatementClear lets you review the statement, then send eligible lines to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year; older history uses CSV.

Why your OptiPay facility has no Xero feed

OptiPay lists a Xero integration, but it works in the other direction: it connects your receivables ledger so the platform can fund against your invoices - data flows out of Xero, not in. No bank feed exists for the facility itself, so the advances, collections, fees and charges moving through your OptiPay account never arrive in Xero on their own.

OptiPay's exports are built for running your facility, not your bookkeeping. The platform tracks availability - the headroom left to draw - alongside the actual movements, and its availability movement report comes out as a spreadsheet whose columns don't line up with what Xero's importer expects: charges sit in their own columns rather than as signed amounts, and there is no running balance to check against.

The manual way, every month

  • Download the statement for the missing period
  • Check the file format, dates and signed amounts
  • Import into the correct Xero account and review overlaps
  • Compare the closing balance and reconcile the lines

A usable CSV or OFX from the provider may be enough. Native PDF import is also available for eligible US and Canadian Xero organisations.

Review the statement, then choose how to import it

Preview the extraction, check the transactions, then send eligible lines through Xero's Bank Feeds API or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year and can be blocked by another provider's feed connection. Use CSV for older history. Overlap checks cover previous uploads to the same StatementClear feed, so also check any period already imported from other sources.

  1. Step 1

    Start with your statement

    Preview a file before choosing how to get it into Xero.

  2. Step 2

    Upload your OptiPay statement

    PDF, CSV or Excel - whatever you can export. Map the columns once and we remember the mapping.

  3. Step 3

    We check it first

    Review dates, amounts and signs. Balance checks use the source data, and overlap checks use prior StatementClear uploads.

  4. Step 4

    Send to Xero or download CSV

    Send eligible lines directly to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. You complete reconciliation in Xero.

Questions about OptiPay and Xero

The money side. OptiPay's integration reads your invoice ledger so the platform can fund against it - it does not put anything back. The facility account itself, with its advances, collections, fees and charges, has no feed, so nothing lands in Xero to reconcile. StatementClear supplies that missing feed from the platform's own export.

With a mapping step built for exactly this file. Pick the date, description and amount columns, choose "all money out" for charge-only exports (or separate debit and credit columns if your report has them), and the lines post with the right sign from your organisation's perspective. The mapping is saved, so repeat uploads apply it automatically.

Only real money movements: advances paid to your bank, debtor collections, and the fees and charges deducted inside the facility. Availability is headroom, not cash, and the sales ledger tracks invoices, not money - both stay out of the feed. That is what keeps the facility reconcilable instead of double-counted.

You can choose direct delivery through Xero's Bank Feeds API for eligible accounts and dates, or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery only supports dates within the last year, and another provider's existing feed can prevent connection. Both routes deliver lines you still reconcile in Xero.
