Set up once by the owner. Used by everyone.

The owner connects the software and decides what syncs. Managers send approved hours if their role allows. The team never sees it — their payslips just arrive.

Questions.

Which payroll software works with Orbit?

Xero and Employment Hero. MYOB is coming soon. QuickBooks connects for your books and employee list.

Can different stores use different software?

Yes. Each store has one payroll connection and one books connection, so a business on Xero and another on Employment Hero can sit in one Orbit.

Which POS systems connect?

Direct POS connections are set up with our team. Without one, forward your POS’s emailed sales reports to Orbit, or enter sales on the close report.

Does Orbit change anything in Xero on its own?

Orbit sends the hours you approve and creates the new starters you approve. It never deletes anything in Xero.
