Integrate with Shoeboxed.com so users can match receipts to transactions
Shoeboxed.com allows users to scan in or mail in receipts, and it automatically parses and categorizes the receipts. It would be awesome to be able to match up receipts with transactions downloaded from our banks.
Shoeboxed completed work on an API integration in September: http://blog.xero.com/2011/09/shoeboxed-lets-you-focus-on-business-not-paperwork/
Now that this has been marked as complete, you have votes you can use to suggest other integrations you would like to see!
We will very soon be adding new functionality to allow the addition of receipts and expense claims via the API, which would also allow the attachment of images / pdfs.

Appreciated everyone's comments. Our view, agreed If Xero could actually
import the bills , receipts , contacts.. That would be great.
We are looking at moving some of our shoebox clients to Shoebox,
Solely on the reason That it would import to Xero or other system. Way more Effective and efficiently in our Accounting Practice , That is a Competitive edge. -

Now that Xero allows pdf's to be attached to expense claims and POs, surely the next step is to allow pdf's to be attached to the expense section and allow import of Shoeboxed scanned images and records into the expense section of Xero.

@Simon: Thanks for the very fast response. I actually thought you were with Xero, not Shoeboxed, so appreciate that you may not have or have liberty regarding the latest details.

@Shawn Yeager ... You are correct, Shoeboxed receipts will show in Xero as payables. Unfortunately, there is currently no way of importing anything into the expenses section of Xero, be it via API or otherwise. In discussions with the folks at Xero, I believe they are considering implementing this.

@ Simon Foster: Unless I'm missing something, what you point to below allows import for purposes of accounts payable invoicing, but does not permit Shoeboxed receipts to be imported as expenses. This, to me, is what's missing.
Did I misunderstand?

Not only makes perfect logical sense, but would certainly help me with the running of my small business.

Cloud accounting is the only way for accountants and their clients to work with each other.
The creation of two ledgers (one in the clients office and the other in the accountants office) when GST came in was a retrograde step and it has taken 11 years to fix this mess up. Xero gets aus back to where we should be. -

Can I say one of the better integration models I have come across in recent times - this should increase back office productivity in spades

Hi everyone ...
We are in the final stages of a direct integration between Xero and Shoeboxed, but have an export from Shoeboxed into Xero using the Xero CSV format to keep you working in the meantime. See https://www.shoeboxed.com.au/xero for more info.
Regs,

I would LOVE to see this. I use both services but it's a pain b/c they are completely separate. It would be great to be able to view a shoeboxed scanned receipt by clicking a small thumbnail or icon within xero.

They have an API (see https://www.shoeboxed.com/a/api-documentation.htm)
They integrate with some of Xero's (international) competition (see https://www.shoeboxed.com/a/partners.htm)It would be great to have a service like this (of scanning receipts and business cards, e.g. after a business trip) integrated with Xero.

This would be a great integration for Xero -- to be able to match up receipts with transactions, or import receipt info that wasn't captured from another source

Want to upload photos/scans of receipts if spend money entries and expense claims and have shoeboxed do the work from the digital images so it is less of a batch per year and more of a day by day thing.
