The WooCommerce Xero integration sends each WooCommerce order into Xero as a draft or authorised invoice, mapping line items to chart-of-accounts codes, applying tax rates and recording payments against the right account. Every synced order ends up with _xero_invoice_id, _xero_invoice_status and, when sync fails, _xero_sync_error meta describing what Xero rejected.

The plugin shows a sync status badge on individual orders and a settings tab for account mapping, which is the right surface for setup and the wrong surface for understanding sync health and revenue distribution over time. Accountants want to know what share of revenue went to which Xero account, which order patterns produce sync failures and whether daily reconciliation will balance.

SleekView Charts reads wp_wc_orders joined with the Xero meta and renders the slice as a dashboard. A Number card counts orders successfully sent to Xero. A Pie shows the invoice-status mix. A Bar ranks orders by Xero account code. An Area trends sent invoices per day so a deploy regression or a Xero API outage becomes visible immediately.

The WooCommerce Xero integration is a quiet, business-critical pipe: every order needs to land as the right invoice, on the right account, in the right Xero organisation. Default admin renders that as per-order status badges, which work for spot-checking and fail for understanding whether sync is healthy this week and whether revenue is routing to the accounts the chart-of-accounts mapping intended. SleekView Charts reads the Xero meta the plugin already records and renders sync as a daily reconciliation dashboard.

A sent-invoice KPI, an invoice-status Pie, an account-code Bar and a daily Area for outage detection turn month-end surprises into weekly checks. Same meta, same order_total sums, completely different finance posture.
