Import JSON files into Xero, no script required
Modern systems export JSON. Xero doesn't import it.
Xero has a JSON API, but that's for developers building integrations, not for finance teams with a folder of JSON files that need to end up in the general ledger.
EntryRocket reads JSON directly and imports the data into Xero as structured records. No script, no flattening, no JSON-to-CSV step.

Where Xero's JSON story actually is
Xero's JSON capability is entirely on the API side:
Developers can build integrations against Xero's REST API, which uses JSON
Finance teams with JSON files can't import them through the Xero UI
The native importers expect CSV (and sometimes OFX or QIF).
If you have JSON files that need to land in Xero, your options today are: write a script against the Xero API, convert the JSON to Xero's CSV template by hand, or key the data in manually.
EntryRocket is a fourth option: email the JSON file and let your reader handle it.
What EntryRocket does with JSON
Your reader parses the JSON structure your system produces: nested objects, arrays, custom field names, dates in any format, amounts as strings or numbers. It flattens the relevant fields and creates the right records in Xero.
Because the reader is built around your specific JSON shape, you don't configure a generic mapping yourself.
Three steps, then it's automatic

Send us a sample JSON file or a description of the structure.
We build your reader
We build your reader in 2-3 business days, matched to your JSON's shape.
You email files in
From then on, you email files in. Xero has the records within a minute.
Depending on your workflow, your reader can create:
- ✓ Invoices and bills from platform or ERP JSON exports
- ✓ Bank statement lines from fintech JSON exports
- ✓ Batch deposits from payment processor JSON payouts
- ✓ Contacts from CRM or directory JSON
- ✓ Manual journals from system integration JSON
- Fintech and neo-bank exports that provide JSON transaction history but no CSV
- Payment processor exports with richer detail in the JSON version than in the CSV version
- Custom ERP or platform exports from in-house systems that speak JSON by default
- Webhook archives collected over time and needing a bulk load into Xero
- API exports pulled from third-party services where a CSV option isn't available
Frequently asked questions
About importing JSON files into Xero with EntryRocket.
View all FAQs →Do I need to flatten my JSON first?
No. Your reader handles nested objects, arrays, and non-standard structures.
What if my JSON has thousands of records in one file?
Your reader processes the full file without the size limits Xero's native CSV importer has.
Is this a Xero API integration?
No. EntryRocket creates records in Xero using the Xero API on our side, but from your side it's a file-based workflow: you email the JSON, your reader does the rest.
What JSON structures do you support?
Any shape. Your reader is built around your specific file. Nested objects, arrays of arrays, custom field names, and mixed types are all fine.
