FAQs on Flutterwave <> Xero Integration

  1. Must the currency be the same?

    For successful synchronising, the home currency for Flutterwave transactions must be the same as that on your Xero account.

  2. Why is my data sync process failing?

    Data sync fails when the home currency on Xero is different from that used for Flutterwave transactions. When registering on Xero as a first time user, you select your country. The country selected automatically determines what currency will be the home currency on Xero. So, selecting Nigeria as the country when registering sets NGN as the default currency on Xero.

  3. How do I select a different currency on Xero?

    • Log in to www.xero.com.

    • On the Settings menu dropdown, click General Settings.

Scroll down to the Features section and click Currencies.
