Common Questions

Q: Can I export to both Xero and QBO at the same time?

A: Yes. In a single Rule, you can add multiple Actions: set one Action to Export → QuickBooks Online, and add another Action to Export → Xero. When the Rule triggers, Receiptor AI will perform both exports.

Q: Can I review receipts before they auto-export?

A: If you want to review each document manually first, leave auto-export off and use manual exports instead. You can see all the documents that haven’t been exported yet in the tab ‘To Export’ in the Documents section.

Q: Can I auto-export only certain documents?

A: Yes. When creating the auto-export rule, you can set conditions on the document (such as merchant name, amount, date, payment method, etc.) to export only specific records.

Q: Will the receipt PDF be attached in Xero/QBO?

A: Yes. Receiptor includes the original receipt PDF as an attachment with each export entry.
