Footing
Integrations

Footing is the record for the job. Xero keeps the books, Stripe takes the payment, and the AI you bring does the asking. Each one connects from Settings.

Accounting

Xero

Invoices, quotes, clients and supplier bills go to Xero. Payments applied in Xero come back and land on the job.

  • Invoices and progress claims, to Xero as sales invoices
  • Quotes, to Xero as quotes, then accepted or declined
  • Clients and contacts, to Xero
  • Supplier bills, to Xero as bills
  • Payments, back from Xero onto the Footing invoice
  • Bill paid status, back from Xero
  • Sales, purchases and bank account codes, set once

Included on every plan. Webhook first, 15-minute sweep as backup.

Invoicing and payments
Payments

Stripe Pay Now

A Pay Now link on every invoice, so the client pays from their phone and the payment lands against the job.

  • Pay Now link on any invoice or progress claim
  • Card payment from the client's phone
  • Payment recorded against the invoice and the job
  • Your own Stripe account, connected once

Included on every plan. Stripe's card fees apply, nothing from us.

The AI you bring

ChatGPT or Claude

  • Sees and does only what your login can

Included on every plan. Uses your existing AI subscription.

BYO AI

How each one connects

  1. 01

    Open Settings

    Settings, then the tile: Xero, Stripe, or AI Assistant.

  2. 02

    Authorise it once

    Xero and Stripe hand you to their own login and back. For ChatGPT or Claude, copy the address from Settings → AI Assistant and add Footing as a connector.

  3. 03

    Check it's connected

    Xero and Stripe show a health line (synced, failed, last successful). ChatGPT and Claude show up under Connected apps once you Allow.

Questions

Which is the source of truth, Footing or Xero?

Footing for the invoice and the client. Xero for the payment. Footing never creates or voids an invoice from Xero, and a Xero payment on an invoice Footing does not know about is ignored and logged for a human, not applied.

Do I need a Stripe account?

Yes, for Pay Now links. Connecting one takes a couple of minutes from settings. Invoices still send as PDFs without it, and clients can pay by bank transfer as they do now.

Does Footing come with its own AI?

No. Footing is the record. You connect the ChatGPT or Claude you already pay for and it reads and writes that record under your login, so it can only see and do what you can. It can line up a send, an approval or a certification, and nothing goes out until you approve it.

How do I connect ChatGPT or Claude?

Copy the address from Settings → AI Assistant, then add Footing as a connector. In Claude: custom connector, Connect, Allow. In ChatGPT: turn on Developer mode first. Personal Plus/Pro may be read-only; Business gets writes.

What about MYOB?

Not yet. Xero is the accounting integration today. Ask on a walkthrough if MYOB is the thing holding you back.
