Xero vs Payment Depot Comparison

Payroll for both contractors and employees. There were a ton of integrations. Invoicing feature was easy for review and sending to the client.

Xero did not have integration for softwares that I preferred to use, such as hubstaff. All of the integration options are great, but I would rather Xero have those functionalities themselves, for the most part. I prefer not have a thousand logins for the backend of my business. It is very frustrating, considering I have to keep up with enough as is.

I love that I can invite my accountant to the software for end of the year handoff for taxes. I also really appreciate the ability to attach paypal or stripe to easily accept online payments from my clients.

I believe the expense report filing could be made easier or have more support in understanding how to categorize expenses when you are still learning how to do business accounting.

Invoicing is straightforward, integrations with payment processors strong

Bank streams were a little unreliable when I used this software but overall configuration isn't too bad

Payment reconciliation and linking with bank accounts/payment cards. User interface. Mobile apps. Customization. Ability to add additional users and control their access level. Third party integrations.

It seems to have issues making tax payments via ACH to the state authorities.

The best [art of the software is the all-in-one solution for the accounting starting from generating invoices to maintaining a track record of all your payment to vendors and customers. The real-time data from the software makes you make decisions quickly.

I would like the team to develop a feature that will automatically alert for the pending payment and that the payment to make will automatically deduct from the account

The aesthetic of the reporting and invoicing is good

When you alter an invoice when a payment has been made, you have to unlink the payment and then relink it........also mass updating of pricing information isn't possible

Features, comprehensive payment options, customization of invoices, integrations, quotes system, price.

Dated looking design, bank feeds occasionally fail, slow to respond and implement feature requests from the community,

The programme is simple to install, straightforward to use, transparent, and has a large accountant following. Rather than the accountant, it was developed with the end user in mind. Depending on your package, it provides direct filing with IRD for Tax and payroll. Recurring billing allows easy and timely payment.

There is only online assistance available; there is no phone support. Several topics are not adequately covered in the "how to" guides provided by Xero, for example, recommended practises for paying dividends. Subcription is slightly costly, and the software is unavailable on windows platform.

I like the simple, intuitive interaction and the purely functional approach. The software is fairly easily scalable within its functions. Customer support is good and fairly responsive, in the very least communicating that missing functions are being worked on and or issues addressed.

Limited in function, though does not fall behind competition. I would love xero to take on more advanced inventory systems - but understandable if they do not.

EASE OF USE/EASY NAVIGATION SIMPLE/ EASY TO UNDERSTAND REPORTING TEMPLATE COST EFFECTIVE- AFFORDABILITY BEAUTIFUL DESIGN/ARCHITECTURE

Assigning roles to users is not comprehensive enough. Raising of adjustment journals not available to users except the Accountant. Subscription payment method is not friendly. It does not allow subscription payment for more than 1 month.

The integration to the 3rd party platform. From booking engine, payment Getaway, timesheet, etc.

I don’t know how to adjust the margin layout on invoice. My company details that I set up to display in top right of invoice always looks messy. I couldn’t find any helps to adjust the margin to make it neat and tidy.

Providing a cohesive platform with all the tools we need to handle payment processing

Xero would benefit from the use of a variety of charts when utilising the reporting features

Looks nice Good workflows Efficient links between documents (from quote to invoice to payment to reconciliation...)

Auto reconciliation is not reliable (will match transactions of different months...) Integration with Zapier could be more exhaustive (transfers not handled, etc.) Comments are useless since they can't be sent/assigned to users

the ease of use. It really is simple, just like using internet banking.

The support department is slow to respond to requests, it takes 24 hours to process payment

1. User friendly- one of the most user friendly accounting software I have used 2. Comprehensive- covers most of the accounting cycle and its documents

1. No split invoicing- our pseudonym business requires deposit payment, so we need to manually prorate accordingly

no customer service , xero use debit card detail when card expire they lock your account and you have no acces at all to your accountant data. when you klick pay with new card detil .window pop up they will sorted you in 24h.

you pay every month and they block access to your data for months you already paid!!

You can create quick reports of balance sheets / cash summaries etc via pdf easy to reactivate employees if casual

no phone support no integration into Ezidebit, which is one of the leading payment providers in Australia

The automation of bank reconciliation invoice creation and payment reminders has been one of the top things that i liked the most and is useful. The customization available is also just too good. The payment processing and the financial reporting both have been very seamless with Xero.

The online invoicing is although good but can be even more improvised. There are also very limited user permissions which can be improved.

It's easy of use and low learning curve make it easy to use on a daily basis for everyone. It's intuitive and easily customizable!

Integrating payments via etrasfer would be helpful but isn't necessary as it's easy to make payment references!

Xero is very beneficial for our organization's accounting. Ease of accounting, invoices and integration with means of payment

No problems encountered on my part, xero is problem free

Very intuitive, easy to use, great database, make my life so easy with instant payment and automatic reminders.

I found it very good, maybe I would liek to be able to customase my invoice a litle bit more but this wasn't a big issue.

Makes quoting invoicing and getting paid much more easier. The payfast payment method is a very nice tough. ,

The quotes and invoice templates are not really that easy to modify, at least that was in my case.

Easy to use! Great reconciliation with accounts. Payroll is super easy

Would be great if it had progress payment options as well as better timesheet options. But overall we have managed with it and used other products for progress payments and timesheets. Also would be great to have auto payments for payroll (similar to their superannuation auto payment)

I love the feel of it. I find it very intuitive. It has great reporting options and I love having the app on my phone. The app works great for taking pics of receipts on the go (right in your system) and for invoicing on the go.

I wish it had Canadian payroll! That being said the payroll integrations with Wagepoint and Payment Evolution are great.

Relatively cheap for the quality of user interface. Integrates with a lot of Fin Tech and payment gateways. Attractive user interface

Lack of correct pro-forma invoicing Lack of email notifications when invoice is paid Lack of supplier reporting Poor inventory and stock handling No picking list/delivery note available Poor foreign currency handling Poor customer service and response to problems
