# Xero payment pages for finance

> Finance controls for branded Xero Pay Now pages: invoice authority, duplicate-safe receipts, and Stripe as the card rail only.

Finance owns **cash truth in Xero**. The payment page exists so the customer can settle the invoice without finance typing the receipt afterwards.

## Controls

- Xero remains the invoice and payment authority. Stripe collects the card; it is not a second set of books.
- Write-back uses a stable external id so a retry does not post the same cash twice.
- Recorded process runs support “did invoice SI-14 actually take payment?” without opening Stripe and Xero side by side.

## Reconciliation stance

Bank feeds still exist. The point of the page is that the **invoice is marked paid from the payment event**, not from someone matching a settlement days later.

Month-end still closes in Xero. Operations, when connected, reads that same fact — see [Xero → Logistaas](/integrations/logistaas/xero/for-finance/) for the hand-off after cash is in the ledger.

## Boundaries

No public prices. No claim that this replaces your accountant. No App Store badge on this page.
