paywise for Xentral
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.
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
