API INTEGRATIONS

Australian businesses paying for Xero, HubSpot, and Shopify separately while staff manually export from one and import into another are paying for three systems and getting the benefit of one -- a connected API layer makes all three aware of each other

Connect your Australian accounting, CRM, e-commerce, and shipping systems so invoices create themselves, labels print automatically, and customer records stay current without anyone moving data by hand.

Who This Is For

Australian online retailers using Shopify for orders, Xero for accounting, Australia Post for shipping, and Klaviyo or HubSpot for customer marketing need these four systems connected so that each one reflects what the others know. Order-to-invoice posting, Australia Post eParcel label generation from Shopify orders, and customer lifecycle event triggers from purchase history are the three integrations that eliminate the most manual work for an Australian e-commerce business at any order volume above thirty per day.

Australian accounting, legal, consulting, and trades businesses using a practice management system such as Karbon, Clio, or ServiceM8 alongside a CRM and a payment gateway often have a billing process that requires a staff member to manually create an invoice after a matter or job is completed. A practice management to Xero integration, connected to a payment gateway for automated payment links and reconciliation, removes the manual invoice step and makes payment status visible across the practice management and CRM systems without anyone updating both.

Australian allied health practices including physiotherapy, chiropractic, psychology, and occupational therapy that are eligible for Medicare claiming and private health fund direct billing currently submit claims either manually through Medicare Online or via HICAPS terminals. A Medicare Online API integration connected to the practice management system submits claims automatically at the point of appointment completion, reduces manual keying errors in claim codes, and returns claim outcomes to the patient record without a staff member logging into a separate claiming portal.

Australian real estate agencies and property management companies receiving buyer and tenant enquiries through REA Group (realestate.com.au) and Domain.com.au are often manually transferring those enquiry details into their CRM. Both portals provide API access for lead delivery. Connecting REA Group and Domain.com.au enquiry webhooks to the agency CRM means every portal enquiry creates a CRM contact and assigns a follow-up task without any manual data entry from the reception or admin team.

What's broken

What's Broken

Xero and HubSpot or Salesforce are not connected

Australian businesses with HubSpot or Salesforce deals and Xero invoices operating as separate records are creating a finance and sales disconnect that costs time and accuracy on both sides. When a deal closes in the CRM, someone manually creates an invoice in Xero, often hours or days later. When the customer pays, the payment status in Xero is not visible in the CRM without someone going to check. The salesperson chases payment information that finance already has. A Xero-CRM API integration creates an invoice automatically when a deal reaches closed-won status and syncs payment status back to the CRM record in real time, so both teams are always working from the same information without anyone transferring it between systems.

Shopify and Australia Post are not integrated

Australian Shopify merchants generating Australia Post eParcel labels by logging into Australia Post's business portal and manually entering each order's recipient details, weight, and dimensions are doing a task that Australia Post's eParcel API was designed to eliminate. The API connects directly to Shopify via webhook. Every time a Shopify order is fulfilled, the eParcel booking is created, the label is generated, and the tracking number is returned to the order record and sent to the customer. For a merchant processing thirty or more orders per day, manual label generation through the portal is a half-day task that the integration reduces to zero. The API also eliminates the category of errors that comes from typing addresses manually, which affects delivery success rates and customer satisfaction.

AfterPay and Zip payment method is not connected to the CRM customer record

Australian e-commerce businesses offering AfterPay and Zip at checkout have BNPL payment method data that exists in the payment processor but does not connect to the CRM customer record. A customer who uses AfterPay for every purchase cannot be identified as an AfterPay user in HubSpot or Salesforce without a custom integration. This means BNPL payment behaviour is invisible for customer segmentation, lifetime value analysis, and targeted retention campaigns. Connecting AfterPay and Zip payment events to CRM customer records allows the marketing and retention teams to work with a complete picture of how each customer prefers to pay.

Medicare claiming is not automated for allied health practices

Australian physiotherapy, chiropractic, and psychology practices that submit Medicare claims manually via Medicare Online or HICAPS are adding a claiming step to every eligible consultation that requires a staff member to initiate it. For practices with ten or more consultations per day, the cumulative claiming time is material. Medicare Online provides an API that practice management software can call at the point of appointment completion to submit a claim without a separate manual step. Where the practice management system does not have a native Medicare integration, a middleware API layer can bridge the gap between the appointment record and the Medicare claiming API, with claim outcomes returned and stored against the patient record automatically.

What we engineer

What We Do

Map manual data flows before building

Ignited Nepal plans and builds API integrations that connect the accounting, CRM, e-commerce, shipping, payment, and practice management systems that Australian businesses already use. We start by mapping the data flows that currently exist in manual form: which system creates the record, where the data needs to go next, what triggers the transfer, and what fields need to transform between formats. We document this before writing any code or configuring any platform tool.

E-commerce integration stack

For Australian e-commerce businesses, the integration stack we most commonly build covers Shopify to Xero for automated invoice creation and payment reconciliation, Shopify to Australia Post eParcel API for automated label generation and tracking number return, and Shopify or payment processor to Klaviyo or HubSpot for customer lifecycle event triggers. These three connections handle the majority of the daily manual data work for a growing Australian online store.

Professional services billing workflow

For professional services firms, we build the billing workflow integration that connects job or matter completion in the practice management system to invoice creation in Xero, payment link delivery to the client, and payment reconciliation back to the matter record. We also integrate the CRM so that payment status from Xero is visible in the deal or matter record without a staff member checking both systems.

Healthcare Medicare claiming middleware

For healthcare providers, we build the middleware that connects appointment completion events in the practice management system to Medicare Online API claims submission, maps the clinical record fields to the Medicare claim fields, handles claim rejection returns and flags them for clinical review, and stores claim outcomes against the patient record. We also integrate private health fund direct billing where API access is available from the fund.

Property portal lead delivery

For property businesses, we configure the REA Group and Domain.com.au lead delivery API connections to the agency CRM, map enquiry data to the correct contact and property record fields, and set up automated follow-up task creation so no portal enquiry falls through without a logged response action.

Full integration scope across all projects

Across all integration projects we handle API authentication and credential management, data mapping and transformation, error handling and retry logic, monitoring and alerting, and written documentation that the internal team can use to maintain and extend the integration after handover.

How it works

Process

  1. 01

    Integration diagnostic

    We map the systems your Australian business uses, the manual data steps your team performs between them, and the trigger events that should drive automated data flows. We document the current state and the target state before any build work begins. This produces a clear, costed scope.

  2. 02

    API access and authentication setup

    We obtain API credentials for Xero, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, Australia Post eParcel, AfterPay, Zip, Medicare Online, REA Group, Domain.com.au, or whichever systems are in scope. We configure OAuth flows, API keys, and webhook secrets, and test access to every endpoint needed before starting the build.

  3. 03

    Data mapping and transformation design

    We document every field that needs to move between systems, identify format and type differences, and design the transformation logic. For Australian-specific requirements such as GST-inclusive pricing in Xero, Australia Post parcel dimensions, or Medicare claiming code formats, we incorporate the relevant field constraints at this stage.

  4. 04

    Build, test, and error handling

    We build the integration in a staging environment, test all trigger conditions including edge cases such as cancelled orders, failed payments, and API timeout scenarios, and implement error handling and retry logic so that failures are caught, logged, and retried automatically rather than silently dropped.

  5. 05

    Monitoring and alerting setup

    We configure integration monitoring so that webhook failures, API errors, and data mapping issues trigger an alert to your team. For Australian businesses with compliance obligations such as Medicare claiming or financial reporting, we set alerting thresholds appropriate to the data sensitivity of the integration.

  6. 06

    Handover and documentation

    We deliver written documentation covering integration architecture, API endpoints, credential management, trigger logic, and maintenance procedures. We walk through the integration with your team so they understand what each connection does and what to check if a particular data flow stops working.

Common questions

FAQ

How do I integrate Xero with HubSpot or Salesforce to automate invoice creation and payment status sync for an Australian business?

Xero provides a REST API and supports OAuth 2.0 authentication that both HubSpot and Salesforce can connect to via native integrations or custom middleware. The integration maps a closed-won deal or opportunity in the CRM to an invoice creation event in Xero, passing deal value, line items, and contact details across. Payment status from Xero, specifically whether the invoice is paid, partial, or overdue, is then synced back to the CRM record via a polling or webhook mechanism. Ignited Nepal builds this integration including the field mapping for Australian tax requirements such as GST-exclusive and GST-inclusive amounts and the currency formatting differences between CRM and Xero.

How do I connect Australia Post's eParcel API to Shopify for automated shipping label generation?

Australia Post's eParcel API requires a business account with Australia Post and API credentials obtained through Australia Post's developer portal. The integration connects Shopify order fulfilment events to the eParcel API via webhook, sends the recipient address, parcel weight, and dimensions to the API, receives the label data and tracking number in return, and stores the tracking number against the Shopify order for customer notification. Ignited Nepal builds this integration including the parcel dimension and weight mapping from Shopify product data to eParcel format, and the tracking number return flow to both the Shopify order and the customer confirmation email.

How do I connect AfterPay or Zip payment data to a CRM customer record for an Australian e-commerce business?

AfterPay and Zip both provide payment event webhooks that fire when a payment is approved, settled, or refunded. Connecting these events to a CRM customer record requires mapping the payment event payload, which includes customer email or order reference, to the corresponding CRM contact and associating the payment method type with the customer record as a property. This creates a CRM field showing each customer's preferred payment method that marketing and retention teams can use for segmentation. Ignited Nepal builds this connection for both AfterPay and Zip, mapping payment events to HubSpot or Salesforce contact records via the respective CRM APIs.

How do I automate Medicare claiming via the Medicare Online API for an Australian allied health practice?

Medicare Online API access for practice software requires registration with Services Australia as a conformant software vendor or use of a registered third-party middleware provider. The integration maps appointment completion events from the practice management system to Medicare claim fields including provider number, item number, date of service, and patient Medicare number, submits the claim via the Medicare Online API, and returns the claim outcome to the patient record. Ignited Nepal assesses whether your practice management system has a supported API and builds the middleware layer between the appointment record and the Medicare claiming endpoint, including claim rejection handling and outcome storage.

What is the best API integration platform for connecting Australian business systems -- Zapier, Make, or a custom API build?

Zapier and Make work well for Australian businesses connecting tools that have native connectors in those platforms, which covers most combinations of Xero, HubSpot, Salesforce, Shopify, Gmail, and Google Sheets. For Australia-specific APIs such as Australia Post eParcel, Medicare Online, or REA Group leads, native connectors do not exist and a custom API build or Make HTTP module is required. The decision between a no-code platform and a custom build depends on data volume, error handling requirements, and transformation complexity. Ignited Nepal assesses the integration requirements before recommending a platform and will use Zapier or Make where they are sufficient rather than recommending a custom build when a simpler approach covers the need.

Australian businesses running Xero, HubSpot, Shopify, and Australia Post as separate tools are not getting value from the combination. Each system is useful on its own. Together, connected by API, they become an operations layer that handles the data transfer work your team currently does manually. Ignited Nepal starts with a diagnostic that maps what is connected today, what is manual, and what the integration design should deliver before any work begins. If your team is spending time on tasks that an API integration handles automatically, the diagnostic is the right first step.
