## When you sell

1. **Requests for quote land in Xero.** A customer's request on to.co becomes a draft quote in Xero. Price it there.
2. **Quotes go out from Xero.** Mark the quote sent in Xero and it goes to your customer on to.co. Or email any Xero quote to anyone, with a link to your page.
3. **Orders mark the quote accepted.** When your customer orders, Xero marks the quote accepted and adds the order number.
4. **Invoices follow the order.** Approve the invoice in Xero and it goes to your customer against their order. Credit notes and payments follow.

## When you buy

1. **Orders become purchase orders.** An order you send on to.co lands in Xero as a draft purchase order, coded your way.
2. **Bills arrive ready to approve.** Your suppliers' invoices on to.co pass your approval rules, then go into Xero as draft bills with their PDF, with one click or by themselves.
3. **See what is paid.** What Xero records as paid shows on the invoice, for both of you. Never bank details.

## Your customers can see who sent it

- **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)

## You stay in control of your books

Every document shows what Xero did with it, and why if something was not done. Turn any part off for your connection.

**to.co never**

- Approves, pays or deletes anything in Xero
- Changes bank details
- Changes anything a person approved
