# How do I send orders to Xero marked as 'Paid'?

Invoices in Xero are marked as paid once they have a payment against them, its not a "status".

There are two ways to do that:

  
**Option A — Mark as paid through reconciliation**  
When you reconcile an invoice and match it against the actual deposit in the bank feed, that will mark it as paid. **This is our recommended way and what 90% of our customers do.**

**Option B — Send payments alongside orders**

You can have Reconcile.ly send the payment too, and match the payment in Xero.

To do this change the send trigger in [Reconcile.ly Settings](https://app.reconcile.ly/order-settings) to 'Created' then you can nominate a bank account to apply the payments to.
