No, you don’t. Xero is an accredited e-invoicing Access Point, and this is already included in your subscription. You can send and receive e-invoices directly within Xero without needing any extra services or add-ons.

However, you do need to register to receive e-invoices, which can be easily done in the "Bills to Pay" section of Xero with just a few clicks.
