How LIVERYLive connects to Xero, QuickBooks and Stripe

Billing that joins up: invoices built from the work on the yard, copied to your accounts, and marked paid automatically.

25 September 20263 min readBy the LIVERYLive team

Invoicing eats a lot of a yard manager’s evenings: stable rent, extras, arena hire, then chasing who hasn’t paid. Good invoicing should start from the work your team actually does. LIVERYLive builds invoices from yard activity, copies them into Xero or QuickBooks, and marks them paid when the money arrives.

1. Invoices built from the work you do

Recurring charges like stable rent are set up once on each horse’s Billing tab. Extras are added automatically from the To Do list through the month. When an owner requests a service, or staff add a job, it goes on the To Do list. Once it’s marked complete, the charge appears on that horse’s bill: turnout, bringing in, rugging, farrier holding, extra shavings.

Nothing relies on memory, and owners see exactly what they’re paying for.

2. One click sends everything to Xero or QuickBooks

At month end, click Bulk Send. LIVERYLive totals each horse’s charges, rent plus extras, and copies each invoice into your connected Xero or QuickBooks account. The lines, amounts and total match exactly, so there’s no retyping, no copy-paste errors, and no conflicting records for your accountant.

3. Paid in your accounts means paid in LIVERYLive

When an invoice is marked paid in Xero or QuickBooks, LIVERYLive updates automatically. You get one view of what’s paid and what’s outstanding, without switching systems or checking bank statements.

4. Stripe: card payments in the app

Stripe handles secure card payments in the app, so money comes in at booking rather than weeks later.

  • Arena bookings: riders pay by card when they book, whether they’re outside riders who found your arena online or liveries on your own yard. How to set up arena booking.
  • Pre-paid services: owners book and pay for services up front. The monthly invoice shows them as already paid, leaving just the stable rent. More on Pay on Booking.
