In BETA’s Integrations settings, authorize access to your Xero/Quickbooks organization. Ensure API access is enabled in Xero/Quickbooks and that your BETA and Xero/Quickbooks time-zones match.

In BETA’s Xero/Quickbooks integration settings, choose how you’d like your transactions bundled each night into the Draft Journal. You can group by:
Aggregated Task | Non-Aggregated Task |
---|---|
For each category and sales tax rate, one line per category (net of sales and refunds) | For each category and sales tax rate, one line for sales (if any), one line for refunds (if any) |
Values listed per top-level category (i.e. both Cafe:Food and Cafe:Drinks sales would go into Cafe category) |
Values listed per category (i.e. separate listings for Cafe:Food and Cafe:Drinks ) |
For each payment type, one line indicating the total net movement (sales minus refunds) | For each payment type, one line for sales (if any) and one line for refunds (if any) |
This setting determines exactly which subtotals appear on each journal line—so you see the right level of detail when you review and post in Xero/Quickbooks.

On first connect, BETA will generate three default accounts in Xero/Quickbooks:
If you prefer your own accounts, you can rename or map Price Categories to any existing Xero/Quickbooks account code.

In BETA, list all your Price Categories (e.g. “Day Pass,” “Membership,” “Cafe:Drinks”). For each Category, either:
Exact-match its name to a Xero/Quickbooks account, or
Enter a custom Account Code in BETA to override the default.
• Categories using a colon (e.g. Cafe:Food
) will post subtotal lines under the parent account (Cafe
).

Tip: How the :
Naming Works
Parent:Child Syntax
- Anything before the colon (e.g.
Cafe
inCafe:Drinks
) must match a Xero/Quickbooks account name.- Anything after the colon (e.g.
Drinks
) becomes a separate line item sub-total under that parent account.- If no colon is used, BETA simply looks for an exact match to your account name or falls back to
