# Finance and payments integrations

> Connect Xero, Stripe, QuickBooks, FreeAgent, Sage, NetSuite and DocuSign to Hive for invoice collection signals, finance answers and approved actions.

Finance tools are where slipping work costs the most: an invoice nobody chased, a failed
payment, a dispute with a deadline. Hive's finance connectors watch for exactly that, answer
questions about your numbers, and prepare the next step for you to approve.

<Note>
  Every action below is prepared by Hive and **waits for human approval**. Money and
  irreversible actions — refunds, voids, deletions — always ask a person, whatever your autonomy
  settings.
</Note>

## Xero

**Connect:** OAuth. Hive's invoice signals need the `accounting.transactions.read` permission.

**Hive reads:** chart of accounts, profit and loss, balance sheet, bank summary, invoices,
contacts and bank transactions.

**Actions with approval:** create, update or archive a contact; create a draft invoice; email an
invoice; void an authorised invoice; delete a draft invoice.

**Signals:** **Invoice collection**. Hive tracks each authorised invoice's amount remaining,
due date (in your Xero organisation's time zone, when Hive has permission to read your organisation settings), contact and status, and raises a signal when collection needs
attention. When the signal is first turned on, it opens one case for each invoice currently
awaiting payment, so nothing already overdue is missed.

## Stripe

**Connect:** the managed connector, or Stripe's official MCP server
(`https://mcp.stripe.com`, OAuth).

**Hive reads:** charges, invoices, customers, balance, payment intents, subscriptions and
payouts.

**Actions with approval:** issue a refund (always the highest-risk tier), create, update or
delete a customer, delete a draft invoice, void an invoice.

**Signals:**

* **Automatic-collection invoices** — invoices Stripe is charging automatically that need
  attention.
* **Send-invoice overdue collection** — emailed invoices past their due date.
* **Disputes needing a response** — card disputes with evidence due.

Hive reads invoices in every status: amounts due and remaining, attempts, collection method,
currency, customer, due date and number.

## QuickBooks

**Connect:** OAuth.

<Warning>
  QuickBooks currently connects to Intuit's **sandbox** environment. Check with Hive support
  before relying on it for production books.
</Warning>

**Hive reads:** company info, customers, invoices, vendors and bills, and record detail.

**Actions with approval:** create or update a customer, create an invoice, delete an invoice
(permanent), deactivate a customer.

**Signals:** no certified invoice-collection signal yet; Hive can build monitors on the
[Coverage](/signals/coverage) tab.

## FreeAgent

**Connect:** OAuth.

**Hive reads:** company details, bank accounts and balances, profit and loss, bank transactions,
tax and VAT dates, invoices, bills, expenses, contacts, projects, timeslips and categories.

**Actions with approval:** create and email an invoice; create a bill, expense or timeslip;
create, update or delete a contact.

**Signals:** none certified yet; ask about FreeAgent data in [Ask Hive](/ask/ask-hive).

## Sage

**Connect:** OAuth. **Sage 200** asks you to choose **Sage 200 Standard Online** or **Sage 200
Professional / Extra Online**; your site and company are found after sign-in. The signed-in user
needs Sage 200 API access and **Company Access**.

**Hive reads:** contacts, sales and purchase invoices, bank accounts.

**Actions with approval:** create, update or delete a contact.

## NetSuite

**Connect only.** You can connect NetSuite, but Hive does not yet read from it or act in it.

## DocuSign

**Connect:** OAuth.

<Warning>
  DocuSign reads and actions currently run against DocuSign's **sandbox** environment. Confirm
  availability with Hive support before relying on it.
</Warning>

**Hive reads:** templates, envelopes and recipients.

**Actions with approval:** send an envelope from a template; void an envelope.

## Push events from proposal tools

Proposal and practice tools such as Ignition, Go Proposal or Figsflow often lack an API Hive can
connect to. Point a Zapier or Make automation at an [incoming webhook](/integrations/incoming-webhooks)
and send `proposal.created`, `proposal.won` and `client.created` events — Hive turns them into
Brain facts and signals.

## Ideas

* "Which Xero invoices over £5,000 are more than 30 days overdue?"
* A [workflow](/workflows/templates) that runs daily, finds overdue invoices and drafts a
  polite reminder for each, held for approval.
* A weekly summary of Stripe disputes and their evidence deadlines.
