# Export direct orders to Xero

If you collect your orders' payments with a third-party payment provider or specific gateways (outside Shopify Payments), our Reconcile.ly app will allow you to create a sales invoice for each order made from an external gateway in real-time and export it orders to Xero automatically - _ unless you set the app to exclude a particular gateway. _

In your accounting system, these gateways may end up behaving like bank accounts of their own, so it's useful to have invoices on-hand for each order you receive to easily reconcile each deposit with a matching invoice. To ensure this, keep the ** _ 'Export direct orders' _ ** section enabled.

If the Export Direct Orders option is kept disabled, then no individual orders will be sent to Xero, only Shopify Payments payouts or orders.
