What matters

Connect sales admin to accounts without rebuilding invoices

Dealer accounting workflow starts with accurate stock invoices. TraderWay helps dealers create the sale record, track deposits and balances, handle VAT settings, and send the accounting data into Xero with configurable account codes.

Keep the sales document connected to the stock vehicle, buyer, payments, VAT settings and DMS history.
Configurable mappings
Choose sales, margin sales, tax and payment account settings that match the accountant-approved Xero chart of accounts.
Less rekeying
Send invoice and payment data into accounts instead of passing PDFs, spreadsheets and screenshots around after the sale.
Built for motor trade details
Vehicle references, deposits, balances, part-exchange adjustments and VAT schemes belong in the sales workflow.

What makes dealer accounting different

A vehicle sale is not always a simple product invoice. Dealers may handle deposits, settlements, part exchanges, margin VAT, finance payments and balance collection after handover. The accounting workflow needs to understand those details enough to hand clean records to Xero.

Why this matters commercially

A good accounting integration is a strong reason for dealers to adopt the DMS even when their website is already working. It saves time for the dealer, reduces back-office questions and gives the accountant cleaner source data.

A practical path for dealers with an existing website

TraderWay can start as the invoicing and accounting layer first. The dealer gets stock invoices, payment tracking and Xero sync now, while the website conversation can happen later when there is a clear reason to move.

What ready should mean

Customer-ready accounting software should have manual sync, optional auto-sync, visible sync status, clear errors, configurable mappings and a way to reconnect Xero cleanly. Those details matter because the edge cases always show up in real accounts work.

What comes as standard

Every TraderWay plan starts with a public website, live stock pages, vehicle detail pages and enquiry capture. Growth and Business add marketplace feeds, Xero sync, reviews, reservations, team roles and an activity log, so the platform grows with the dealership instead of needing separate tools bolted on.

Switching without disruption

Moving provider does not have to mean downtime. TraderWay can help plan the domain move, import existing stock and get key pages live before the old site is switched off, with full Business access free for the first 6 months to test everything first.
