- Free to send and receive, on every plan
- With Xero, or without accounting software
- You choose what each partner sees

## Sell. Buy. Connect.

- **Sell.** Answer a request for quote, confirm an order and invoice it, from your own to.co address. Each one is numbered and signed, with a PDF in your look.
- **Buy.** Requests, quotes, orders, invoices and credit notes from your partners arrive in Received. Invoices pass your approval steps and hold rules first.
- **Connect.** Each business you trade with is connected once. Where to send invoices, who to contact and how to pay come from its own trading profile.

## One document, both sides

1. **You send it.** Make it on to.co, or send it from Xero. It reaches your partner's Received documents, or anyone by email with a link to read it.
2. **They see who sent it.** Your business record is beside it: what was checked about you, and when. An emailed link opens without an account.
3. **Questions stay on the document.** Trading partners ask about a document on the document itself, not in a separate email thread.
4. **It reaches their books.** If your partner keeps its books in Xero, your invoice can go in as a draft bill for them to approve.

## Start from where you are

- **You use Xero.** Connect it, and requests, quotes, orders and invoices move between your Xero and to.co. Nothing to retype. [to.co for Xero](https://to.co/en-gb/xero?format=md)
- **You don't use accounting software.** Make requests for quote, quotes, orders and invoices on to.co, numbered and signed, with a PDF.

## Start with the businesses you trade with

Connect Xero and to.co matches your customers and suppliers to businesses on to.co by their company and VAT numbers. Confirm the ones already here and invite the rest by email, in their language. Nothing is sent until you choose.

Share by rule, or partner by partner. Every open is recorded.

## Know who you are trading with

A to.co connection is between two business records, not two email addresses.

- **Company checked.** Your company name and number, checked against the official register.
- **Website proved.** Shown when you prove you own your website.
- **Signed.** Anyone can check a document is the one you sent.

We show what we checked, and nothing more. [How checks work](https://to.co/en-gb/verification?format=md)

## What it costs

Sending and receiving documents on to.co is free on every plan, including Free. Connecting Xero is free too.

## Questions

### Do the businesses I trade with need to be on to.co?

To send you documents and receive yours in Received, yes, and a to.co page is free. Anyone can open a document you email them.

### Do I need accounting software?

No. You can make every document on to.co. If you use Xero, connect it and your documents come from your books.

### Does to.co take payments?

No. Your customer pays you as they do now, with the details in your trading profile. What your Xero records as paid shows on the invoice.

### Who can see a document I send?

The business you sent it to, and the people on each account whose role allows it. Every open is recorded.
