Online accounting software maker Xero has partnered with online credit card payment company Stripe, allowing Xero users to integrate Stripe’s system to accept payments.
The integration also marks the beginning of a partnership between the two companies to help businesses get paid faster online while also offering them a real time view into finances.
In addition to the Stripe integration, Xero is also providing payment platforms to its non-U.S. users by partnering with DPS Payments and GoCardless.
As an extra incentive, Stripe customers new to Xero will be able to use the accounting service for free up to 60 days.
“Cashflow is the most important aspect of a running a business…having software in place that allows users to get paid faster is invaluable to the business owner,” said president of Xero’s U.S. operations Jamie Sutherland. “Stripe offers this in an elegant and simple way. Couple that with Xero’s anytime, anywhere access to financials, business owners are able to make smarter decisions about where they spend their company dollars.”
