The invitation-only collection highlights newly certified apps that Xero believes are offering something innovative, unique or particularly valuable to customers.
With the collection displayed across every region where Xero operates, the feature places LemonBooking in front of millions of businesses, accountants and bookkeepers worldwide.
For a growing software platform focused on community venues, it represents a significant moment.
LemonBooking was designed specifically for organisations such as village halls, community centres and sports facilities, helping them manage bookings, websites, invoicing and ticketing from a single platform. The company officially became a Xero-certified app in February 2026, allowing venue operators to automate much of the financial administration that traditionally consumes hours of manual work each month.
Through the integration, invoices and credit notes created inside LemonBooking are automatically pushed into Xero, while reconciled payments in Xero feed back into the booking system. For volunteer-led venues and small administrative teams, the automation could make a major difference.
The Xero feature is also likely to put LemonBooking firmly on the radar of accountants and bookkeepers working with charities, local community organisations and grassroots sports facilities. Apps showcased in curated Xero collections often see a sharp increase in visibility, trial sign-ups and customer enquiries during their featured period.
Paul Grosvenor, co-founder of LemonBooking, described the recognition as an important milestone for the business.
He said: “Being chosen by Xero is a real vote of confidence in what we’ve built. Xero looks at hundreds of apps each month, so to be picked out is a brilliant moment for the team and for the venues who’ve supported us.
“We built LemonBooking to take the friction out of running community venues — and we’d encourage any accountant with clients in this sector to take a look at the listing and get in touch if they’d like a walkthrough.”
As digital tools continue to reshape how community organisations operate, recognition from a major accounting platform like Xero could help LemonBooking accelerate its growth while bringing modern booking and finance automation to a sector that has often been underserved by mainstream software providers.
