Request connection from Toast
To get started with your new Toast – Xero connection, the Omniboost team needs your Toast Property GUID. This can be requested via your Toast marketplace.
These credentials will be used to connect to your Toast environment and fetch information required for the onboarding including the sales categories, payment types, revenue centers etc.
The Omniboost onboarding team will create your new profile in our onboarding platform. When your new profile is ready, you will receive an email with all information required to start the onboarding process.
2. Toast and Xero configuration
Before starting the onboarding process, it’s important that both of the systems we will be connecting are fully configured.
In Toast, please make sure that your environment has all sales and payment types, revenue centers etc that you will be using finalized.
In Xero, please make sure that your chart of accounts, cost centers and tax rates are all configured.
As information will be fetched from both systems, making sure that both are correctly configured will help provide a smoother onboarding process.
3. Onboarding email
Please follow the link in the onboarding email to access the onboarding form. If you did not receive the email, please double-check your spam folder. If you have any issues with the email link or any other questions, please contact us via pos-support@omniboost.io.
IMPORTANT: The onboarding steps in the form linked in the email are best completed by a member of your team that is familiar with your accounting process. Specifically, they will need to confirm how and where the integration should be posting the Toast financial information into Xero.
If this task should be completed by another member of your team, please forward the onboarding email to them.
4. Connect to Xero
Clicking the link in the email will redirect you to the onboarding form. The first step you will be asked to complete is to connect to your Xero environment. To do so, click the Connect button in the bottom right corner of the screen.
You will be redirected to the Xero login screen. If you have more than one Xero environment, please make sure to connect with the credentials of the environment that should be receiving data from Toast.
Once you connect to the correct Xero environment, you will automatically be redirected back to the onboarding form. Here you will see whether the authentication was successful.
If you have one environment with multiple tenants, you will be able to select the correct tenant after authenticating.
To continue to the next step, please click Confirm and Continue.
IMPORTANT: If there are any issues with your connection to Xero, the message received from Xero will be shown on the screen.
If the connectivity issue is caused by incorrect credentials or the like, please make sure you have entered the correct details and try once again.
If you are still unable to connect, please reach out to our support team. Throughout the onboarding process, you can easily submit a ticket to our support team using the Help icon found in the bottom right corner of the screen.
When submitting a ticket, please provide as much detailed information as is available to help our support team troubleshoot the issue faster.
5. Integration settings
Now that we’ve successfully connected both your Toast and Xero environments, we kindly ask that you provide us with the information needed to correctly configure your new integration.
Please note that some fields are required and without completing them, you will not be able to proceed to the next step. Please review and complete all applicable fields.
If a field is not marked as required and it does not apply to your operations, then you are able to leave it blank.
If you need more information about a specific field, please hover your mouse over the information tool tip icon shown next to each of the fields.
Once you’ve provided all applicable information, please click Confirm and Continue.
Note: By clicking Confirm and Continue, the information you’ve already provided will be saved and available in case you have to pause the onboarding process at any time.
You will be able to return to the correct step in the form at any time by using the link in the onboarding email.
6. Accounting mapping
This is the final step in the onboarding process. Here you can see the different sections representing various categories we have pulled from your Toast environment including sales categories, payment types, tax levels, discounts and revenue centers.
For each value shown on the left, please provide the relevant Xero code to confirm where in Xero this information must be posted. Please repeat for each item in each category.
If you need to add things to your Toast or Xero environments, please make sure to refresh the page and allow a few minutes to pass for the new values to be available in the form. If you find items that exist in your Toast or Xero environments but are not visible in the onboarding form, please let us know by clicking on the Help icon in the bottom-right corner and submitting a ticket to our support team.
Once you’ve provided all required and relevant information, click Confirm and Continue.
7. Finalize
Thank you for providing all of the information needed to set up your new Toast – Xero connection!
Before we can inform our onboarding team to start setting up your integration, please take a moment to review and confirm our Terms and Conditions as well as Privacy Policy. When you’ve done that, please mark both boxes and click Continue.
8. Integration setup and testing
The Omniboost team has been notified that you’ve completed the onboarding form. Your integration will now be scheduled for setup. Once the setup is complete, the team will generate a test journal and push it to your Xero environment.
We will notify you and kindly ask that you review the test information and confirm that everything is correctly posted and reconciles with your Toast environment daily reports.
9. Go-live
Once you’ve confirmed that all Toast data has been correctly posted to your Xero environment, our onboarding team will enable your new connection and start the automated daily transfer.
