Xero to acquire Melio: A payments game-changer for small businesses across the US

LAST UPDATED: May 28, 2024
We want to make sure the needs of small businesses and their advisors are met well into the future — and that means providing you with easier access to tools that help you run your business efficiently. That’s why we’re refreshing our subscription plans for small businesses and partners, which will be available from 1 July 2024.
We’ve put a lot of consideration into creating streamlined plans with bundled tools and features, to help solve your most important accounting and people management tasks.
We’ve also listened closely to feedback from you — our small business customers and partners — to make sure the launch of the new plans aligns with the start of the new financial year, as we know this is important to you.
Find out more about the plans and what’s included for small businesses and accountants and bookkeepers.
We’re launching three new streamlined business plans for Australian customers, as well as enhancing the Ultimate plan.
With our new plan line-up for Australian small businesses available from 1 July 2024, our existing Xero Payroll Only, Xero Starter, Xero Standard and Xero Premium plans will no longer be sold. Existing add-ons can no longer be purchased separately from this date.
The new plan line-up has more key features included — with fewer plans and add-ons to navigate. That means easier access to the tools and features you’re looking for, so you can spend time on the things that count (like running your business).
Find out more about how our new business plans compare with existing plans and what’s included.
We’re also simplifying partner plans from four down to two (Xero Ledger and Non-GST Xero Cashbook will remain unchanged). These partner plans are only available to be purchased by accountants and bookkeepers.
The new line-up of plans is designed to make it simpler for you to recommend the best plan, and tailor your practice services to clients. That means easier access to features (including cash-coding in all of our new business plans), and key add-ons bundled into business plans.
From 1 July 2024, Xero Cashbook + GST and Xero Cashbook + Payroll will no longer be sold.
Find out more about what’s included in both the partner and business plans.
With the launch of our new plans, we will be moving your existing plan to a new plan in a phased approach. We’ll be taking into account your current plan (and any add-ons) as part of this and intend to move all plans by March 2025.
We’ll continue to keep you updated during our plan change process and you’ll have at least 60 days notice before we make any changes to your plan.
We understand that these new plans may feel like a big change, but please know that we’ll continue to keep you updated during this process. In the meantime, we recommend familiarising yourself with the new plans so you can consider the best option for you when the plans are launched.
