Quick answer
Not for publishers. Xero's partner program is open to accounting practices only — its own page states you need to be an accounting practice with at least one registered accountant, and a staff member must complete Xero advisor certification within 30 days. There is no open affiliate program a publisher can join, despite third-party directories listing a 10% commission.
Xero's partner program is for accounting practices, not publishers. Joining requires a registered accountant and a staff member certified as a Xero advisor.

Editor's notes
Xero is widely listed as paying around 10% affiliate commission. Its own partner page describes an accountant partner program with practice and certification requirements, not a publisher affiliate program. We changed the status rather than keep repeating a rate for a program publishers cannot join.
