Xeroom Licence Upgrade Process

Xeroom Licence Switching Guide

Xeroom has been developed over 10 years with hundreds of hours of invaluable feedback and suggestions from our users to make it an indispensable tool to integrate your WooCommerce system with Xero accounting.  Xeroom has matured into a feature rich stable powerful application designed to give your business a professional edge whilst saving you hours of time. Below we provide the detailed feature differences between Xeroom Starter and Xeroom Premium versions.   Both use the same Xero connection and Xeroom posting engine. Both offer additional Xeroom specialist services to kick-start your implementation and provide ongoing support to minimise downtime on a business critical integration.

Xeroom Starter Version –  This is designed to give you everything you need to get started with your WooCommerce to Xero integration. It is ideal for newcomers or small businesses that just need to keep things as simple as possible and save as much time as possible whilst retaining a decent level of functionality so that you are getting the data you need in Xero to make life easy for you and your bookkeeper.

Xeroom Premium Version – This has all the features needed to support a more seasoned or larger business integration where more plugins and more rigorous financial processes are used. It enables the integration to go to a much deeper level for both operational and reporting needs.

 

 

How to Upgrade to Premium from Starter Versions

You can upgrade at any time during the year and get a prorata credit for the unused part of your Xeroom Starter licence.

To upgrade:  Go to your My Xeroom Account from the main menu/shop/my account and then subscriptions on the left-hand side which will list your licences. Click on your current subscription number and it will open the page for that licence showing the Subscription totals with an Upgrade Licence box in blue.

Click on it and it will add it to the basket showing the prorata upgrade cost as a “sign-up” fee and also show the new subscription amount.  Then you need to checkout as usual and you will be immediately emailed a new licence key (in the middle of the email in bold).  Cut and paste the new key into licence box in your Xeroom settings and on activation the licence will authenticate and then switch your version to Premium showing the new logo.

 

 

How to Downgrade from Premium to Starter Versions

We don’t offer downgrades part way through the year.  Once your licence is due to renew you will be emailed a renewal order.  If you wish to downgrade then go to your account and cancel your existing subscription and then in the shop go to the licence page and add the Starter Version to your cart and proceed to checkout.  You will be emailed a new licence key which when activated will convert your Xeroom version to Starter.
