Setting up your Ledgible wallet to automatically sync to your Xero account is quick and straightforward. Just follow the steps below!
Step 1: Connect Ledgible to your Xero Account
1. While logged into your Ledgible account, click the 'Integrations' tab on the navigation bar at the top of the page.
2. On the Integrations page, click the green 'Connect to Xero' button on the bottom left.
3. Enter your Xero account log-in credentials, then click the blue 'Log In' button to authenticate.
4. Click the green 'Allow Access' button to authorize Ledgible to view and update your Xero data.
Step 2: Set Up Mapping of Wallets to your Xero Instance
After granting Ledgible access to your Xero account, you will be directed to the Account Mapping Setup wizard:
The wizard will guide you through choosing the following:
- The "Default Asset Account", the Xero balance sheet account where crypto activity from Ledgible will be sent by default
- The "Default Income Account", the Xero account where inbound Ledgible Account entries will be sent by default
- The "Default Expense Account", the Xero account where outbound Ledgible Account entries will be sent by default
- The "Default Fee Account", the Xero account where fees generated by your blockchain transactions will be sent by default
For each of these account types, clicking the 'Select Account' dropdown will open a list of options pulled from your Xero instance to map to:
1. Make mapping selections for all four account types, then click the 'Next' button
2. Click the 'Close' button on the confirmation screen to exit the mapping wizard:
Step 3: Set a Minimum Value Threshold for Sending Entries to Xero (Optional)
On the settings page for your Xero integration in Ledgible, there is an option to set an 'Asset Value Filter'.
As many cryptocurrency transactions occur at prices which are immaterial - even, in some cases, well below a single US cent ($0.01) - you may wish to exclude these from the activity you import into Xero.
This can be achieved via the following:
1. Click the slider icon to the right of 'Asset Value Filter' in the Integration Options section:
2. To edit or set the minimum asset value for the filter, click the pencil icon:
3. Type in the USD value which you would like to set the filter at, and click the green check mark to save your entry:
Your asset filter value threshold has now been set - you can always return to modify the setting, or disable the filter, at your leisure.
Step 4: Create Wallet-Specific Mappings (Optional)
If you have multiple wallets, or multiple assets or tokens tracked within a single wallet, you may not wish to direct all of your crypto activity to the same accounts in Xero. You can create custom mappings for a wallet, which override the defaults you set up via the account mapping wizard, using the 'Wallet Mappings' section below 'Default Accounts'.
1. In the Wallet Mappings section, click the arrow on the right side of the panel pertaining to the wallet you want to create custom mappings for.
2. Click the blue 'Edit' button on the mapping section that opens.
3. As with the mapping in the account wizard, simply select the Xero accounts that you would like this wallet or asset to map to. When you are satisfied, click the green 'Save' button to save your changes.
