Overview
The ResPax-to-Xero integration provides the ability to directly export payment details from ResPax to Xero, including configuring an account, mapping fields, scheduling timing and reviewing logs.
Prerequisites
ResPax Operator must have a valid Xero Organisation Account.
ResPax Operator must be able to authenticate with a Xero user that has permissions in their Xero Account to add a web-app via the Xero Developer Tools Module. This requires the Xero “Advisor” role.
ResPax Operator must request from Support Team (support@respax.com) to enable the Xero tabs in the web application. By default the Xero tab is not enabled in Financials, Organisations and Tours

IMPORTANT - Do not leave this page until you have copied the secret, as it cannot be seen or copied again.
(ResPax recommend the use of a secure Password Keeper. There are many web apps for this)
You may logout of Xero and follow the next steps called ResPax Instructions from step 1.
If you lose the client secret, then you must generate a new one and save it somewhere safe!
8. The integration into ResPax will need to be re-connected, (don’t worry, no data is ever lost) see below.
9. Delete the first secret that you no longer have the password for.
Click on the trash bin of secret 1
Confirm the Deletion
