What you can automate today

Redbird gives your team ready-to-run workflows — just connect your accounts and go.

Sync PayPal transactions to Xero invoices and automatically reconcile payments

When a PayPal payment is received, Redbird matches it to the corresponding Xero invoice, marks it as paid, and reconciles the transaction including fees. Multi-currency payments are converted and recorded with the correct exchange rate and fee breakdown.

Create Xero expense records from PayPal business payouts and mass payments

Automatically log PayPal mass payments, vendor payouts, and subscription fees as expense transactions in Xero. Redbird categorizes each payout by merchant, applies the correct expense account, and attaches payment reference details for audit trails.

Record PayPal refunds and chargebacks as credit notes in Xero

When refunds or disputes are processed in PayPal, Redbird creates corresponding credit notes in Xero, adjusts customer balances, and logs chargeback fees as separate expense line items. All documentation is linked to the original invoice for complete transaction history.

Break down PayPal fees and record them as separate expense entries in Xero

Extract transaction fees, currency conversion charges, and PayPal processing costs from each payment. Redbird creates itemized expense entries in Xero under your fee expense account, giving you accurate net revenue figures and complete fee visibility for margin analysis.

Generate reconciliation reports comparing PayPal settlements to Xero bank deposits

Automatically match PayPal settlement batches to bank deposits in Xero, identifying discrepancies in timing, amounts, or missing transactions. Redbird produces daily reconciliation summaries showing which PayPal payouts have cleared and which require attention.

Alert finance team when Xero invoice is paid via PayPal but not yet recorded

Monitor for PayPal payments that reference Xero invoice numbers but haven't been reconciled. Redbird sends alerts with transaction details, suggested matches, and one-click reconciliation options to prevent duplicate entries or missed revenue recognition.

Live in four steps

No engineers, no pipelines to maintain. Redbird handles the connectivity — you focus on the outcome.

01

Describe what you want

Tell Redbird what to do in plain language — no SQL, no code, no configuration files required.

03

Review and activate

Redbird shows you exactly what it will do before running anything. Approve the workflow, set a schedule, and switch it on.

04

Let it run — and iterate

Workflows run on your schedule or on triggers. Every run is logged. Adjust with natural language at any time.

Built for data-driven teams

Redbird understands PayPal's transaction structure and Xero's accounting schema, so your payment data flows into the right accounts with proper categorization and reconciliation.

AI that speaks both payment processing and accounting

Redbird maps PayPal transaction types to Xero's chart of accounts, invoice records, and bank reconciliation fields automatically. Our AI recognizes payment statuses, fee structures, currency conversions, and refund types, then translates them into proper journal entries, credit notes, and expense records. You get clean books without manual data entry or CSV imports, with full preservation of transaction metadata, customer references, and fee breakdowns across both systems.
