Pay smarter: connect Bluechain to Xero or Sage
If you’re still manually adding bills and reconciling payments at night or on weekends, you’re doing work that your software should be doing for you. By linking Bluechain to Xero or Sage, unpaid bills flow in automatically, payments sync back instantly and your accounts stay accurate without the admin drag. It’s one of the simplest ways to streamline financial admin, improve cashflow visibility and get your time back.
The problem: financial admin is stealing your time
Most people didn’t start a business because they love bookkeeping. Yet too many founders and finance leads still spend evenings:
- Chasing unpaid bills
- Re-keying invoice data into payment tools
- Manually marking bills as paid
- Fixing reconciliation errors at month end
This isn’t just frustrating. It’s expensive. Manual admin slows payments, increases errors and clouds your view of cashflow.
Bluechain exists to remove that friction. Linking Bluechain with your accounting software is a big part of how we do it.
What happens when you connect Bluechain to Xero or Sage
When you link Bluechain to Xero or Sage, two powerful things happen automatically.
1. Unpaid bills sync into Bluechain
Any approved, unpaid supplier bills in Xero or Sage are pulled straight into Bluechain.
That means:
- No manual data entry
- No duplicate invoices
- No missed bills
- Less chance of errors
You see exactly what’s outstanding, ready to be paid and have the flexibility to pay how best works for you.
For small businesses looking to pay suppliers by credit card, this reduces one of the biggest blockers: admin overhead.
2. Payments reconcile themselves
Once you pay a bill through Bluechain, it’s automatically marked as paid in Xero or Sage.
No more:
- Logging back into accounting software to reconcile
- Guessing which payment matches which invoice
- End-of-month clean-up marathons
Your accounts stay accurate in real time, reducing errors and giving you confidence in your numbers.
Why this matters for small business finances
Connecting payments and accounting isn’t just about convenience; it directly improves financial control.
Save time where it matters
Automating bill sync and reconciliation can save hours each month. That’s time you can reinvest in:
- Growing the business
- Managing suppliers
- Or simply switching off at the weekend
Improve cashflow visibility
With bills and payments aligned, you get a clearer picture of:
- What’s due
- What’s paid
- What’s coming next
This makes it easier to plan, forecast, and decide when using a credit card to pay suppliers makes sense.
Reduce errors and stress
Manual processes create mistakes; automation reduces them. Fewer errors mean fewer awkward supplier conversations and fewer accounting fixes later.
Payment flexibility, without the admin burden
Bluechain combines payment flexibility with time-saving automation.
You can:
- Pay suppliers who don’t accept cards
- Use your credit card to manage cashflow
- Keep your accounting system perfectly in sync
It’s a practical way to improve your small business accounting without adding complexity.
