OnPay Payroll to Xero: Automated Journal Entry Guide
OnPay doesn't have a native journal entry integration with Xero. Bookkeepers who manage clients on OnPay payroll and Xero accounting must create the payroll manual journal by hand each pay period, mapping gross wages, withholdings, and employer taxes to the correct Xero accounts.
How PostBooks connects OnPay to Xero
- Export the OnPay payroll report. In OnPay, download the payroll summary or journal entry report as a CSV file for the pay period.
- Upload to PostBooks and map to Xero accounts. PostBooks parses the OnPay CSV and maps each line to your Xero chart of accounts. Set the mapping once and PostBooks reuses it automatically.
- Export or sync to Xero. PostBooks generates a Xero-compatible manual journal, or syncs directly via the Xero API.
