paywise for Xentral

Xentral
The connect:Xentral integration hands open invoices from your Xentral ERP straight to paywise for collection. You sign in to Xentral once and grant paywise read access — no API key to hunt down.
paywise reads from Xentral and never writes back. Nothing in your ERP is changed, cancelled or marked as paid.

Before you start

  • A Xentral account you can sign in with and authorise apps for.
  • A paywise account.
  • At least one open invoice in Xentral.
  • No active DATEV import may exist for your paywise company. Deactivate it under DATEV Einstellungen → Gefahrenzone → Integration deaktivieren before connecting Xentral.

What paywise reads

The integration is read-only.

1. Connect Xentral

1

Open the connection page

2

Accept the terms

Tick „Mit der Nutzung der connect:Xentral Schnittstelle akzeptiere ich die Nutzungsbedingungen.”
3

Establish the connection

Choose Verbindung herstellen (establish connection). paywise sends you to the sign-in, where you authenticate with your own Xentral credentials and grant access.You never enter Xentral credentials into paywise.
4

Back in paywise

After granting access you are returned to paywise automatically and the connection is active.

2. Submit invoices for collection

1

Open the invoice picker

On the Xentral page in paywise, choose Rechnungen einreichen.
2

Pick the invoices

paywise lists your open invoices live from Xentral — with invoice number, customer, invoice date, due date and amount. Invoices that are issued and not yet paid in Xentral are shown.The due date comes straight from Xentral; paywise calculates nothing here.
3

Check the debtor data

Name and address come from the Xentral contact, the invoice PDF is attached automatically. Review and correct anything missing.
4

Record your payment reminder

Xentral supplies no reminders over this interface. Enter how and when you asked the debtor to pay — in writing or verbally, the date, and any payment deadline you set.This matters legally: for consumers a reminder is normally required before default interest and collection costs can be claimed.
5

Send the order

Confirm how collection should start, answer the legal questions, accept the terms and choose Auftrag absenden.
Partial payments are not supplied over this interface. paywise uses the full invoice amount as the open amount. If part of it has already been paid, correct the amount before submitting.

Invoices that cannot be submitted

  • Drafts and invoices not yet issued.
  • Invoices Xentral holds as paid.
  • Incomplete recipient details. paywise imports the invoice as an editable draft. Complete the name and address in paywise before submitting the order.
  • Already submitted invoices are shown as Eingereicht.

3. Disconnect

On the Xentral page, choose Verbindung trennen and confirm with Trennen. paywise revokes the access and removes the connection. Orders you already submitted are unaffected. You can set the access up again at any time.

Troubleshooting

Check that you signed in with the right Xentral account and granted access, then start the connection again.
The authorisation was withdrawn or expired. Choose Verbindung herstellen to renew it. Your previous orders are not affected.
paywise shows only issued, still open invoices. Check the invoice status in Xentral.
This interface supplies no partial payments. Correct the amount by hand before submitting.
