# Creating Xero Integration Credentials

This topic explains how to create Integration Credentials which you can then use to connect your Xero Integrations with your Xero system. See [Configuring Xero Integrations](/guides/integrations/setting-up-integrations/configuring-xero-integrations).

**To create Xero integration Credentials:**

1. Select **Integrations**:

The **Integrations** page opens.

2. Select **Xero**. The **Xero Integrations** page opens.

3. On the **Credentials** panel, select **Configure new credentials**:

The **Create** pages opens.

4. Under **Credential details** enter:

* **Name**. Descriptive name for the Credential.
* **Destination**. This will be pre-selected for **Xero**.

When you enter a name, the form adjusts to show an information panel under **Destination**, which advises you that you'll need to provide authentication details on the Xero website.

5. Select **Go to Xero**. You are redirected to the **Log in to Xero** page:

6. Log into your Xero Account.

<Warning>
  **Important!** Ensure that the Xero org you are logged into to is the one you need to create the Credential for and which you'll use to connect your Integration to Xero.
</Warning>

7. Grant access to your Xero organisation for the m3ter integration Credential:

* If you have multiple Xero organisations set up, select the one you want the m3ter integration Credential to access and then select **Continue**:
* If you have a single Xero organisation set up, select **Allow access** for the m3ter integration Credential:

> You are redirected back to m3ter.

8. Select **Create credential**. You are returned to the **Xero Integrations** page where the new Credential is listed on the **Credentials** panel.

* The Credential is now available for connecting your Integrations with Xero. See [Configuring Xero Integrations>Setting Up Authentication for the Integration](/guides/integrations/setting-up-integrations/configuring-xero-integrations#setting-up-authentication-for-the-integration).

<Warning>
  **Warning: Authentication with Xero not completed!** If you fail to complete authentication with your Xero instance promptly, a time-to-live (TTL) of ten minutes is imposed after which the Credential is removed and you'll have to start again. If you return to the **Xero Integrations** page within that TTL, any **Credentials** waiting for authentication completion will have a suffix of "Incomplete" attached, such as: **Xero Credential 1 (Incomplete)**.
</Warning>
