E-signatures for Xero

The best e-signature for Xero, and how to choose one

If you use Xero, the value of an e-signature tool is not just signing. It is what happens after signing: does the completed document file itself into Xero, against the right contact, in the right organisation? Here is what to look for, and how SignAndGo measures up.

Six things to look for

The difference between a generic e-signature tool and one that genuinely works with Xero comes down to these.

Automatic filing into Xero

The signed PDF should attach itself to the matching Xero contact on completion. No manual download and re-upload.

Contact creation for new signers

If you onboard people, the tool should create a Xero contact for someone who is not in Xero yet, and file against it.

Multiple Xero organisations

If you run more than one entity, you need to connect them all and route each document to the right one.

Australian data residency

For Australian businesses, documents and audit trails hosted in Australia keep you aligned with the Australian Privacy Principles.

Legally binding signatures

Signatures must be valid under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999, with an audit trail and verification.

Transparent AUD pricing

Flat, predictable pricing in Australian dollars beats USD enterprise quotes and per-signer fees.

How the options compare

The main e-signature tools Australian businesses weigh up alongside Xero are SignAndGo, DocuSign, Adobe Sign and Annature. They are all capable signing platforms. The right choice for a Xero user usually comes down to data residency, pricing model, and how automatically a signed document ends up in Xero.

SignAndGo is built in Australia, with all data hosted in Sydney and pricing in AUD with no annual lock-in. Its Xero integration is deliberately focused: when a document is signed, the PDF files itself into Xero against the contact, a contact is created automatically for a new signer, and businesses with several entities can route each document to the correct organisation. It accesses only contacts and attachments in Xero, never your invoices or financial data.

If your priorities are Australian data residency, predictable AUD pricing, and signed documents that file themselves into Xero without manual handling, SignAndGo is built for exactly that.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best e-signature tool for Xero in Australia?
The right tool depends on three things: how automatically signed documents land in Xero, whether your data is hosted in Australia, and your pricing model. The main options Australian businesses consider are SignAndGo, DocuSign, Adobe Sign and Annature. SignAndGo is built in Australia, files signed PDFs into Xero against the contact automatically, creates contacts for new signers, and routes across multiple Xero organisations, with AUD pricing and no annual lock-in.
What should I look for in an e-signature integration for Xero?
Look for automatic filing of the signed PDF to the matching Xero contact (so there is no manual download and re-upload), contact creation for new signers if you onboard people, support for multiple Xero organisations if you run more than one entity, Australian data residency, legally binding signatures under the Electronic Transactions Act 1999, and transparent AUD pricing.
Does SignAndGo file signed documents into Xero automatically?
Yes. When a document is signed, SignAndGo attaches the completed PDF to the matching Xero contact automatically, matched by email. If the signer is not in Xero yet, their contact is created for you. There is no manual download and re-upload.
Is SignAndGo good for businesses with multiple Xero organisations?
Yes, this is a core strength. You can connect several Xero organisations, including organisations held under different Xero logins, set a default, or choose the destination per document. Each signed document files into the correct entity.
How much does a Xero e-signature integration cost with SignAndGo?
SignAndGo pricing is a flat monthly per-workspace subscription in AUD, from a free Personal plan up to Business at $99 per month, with no annual lock-in and no per-signer fees. Recipients and signers are never charged.
