Seamless Xero + Shopify Integration

You can connect Shopify to Xero with Xero's own free Shopify app (built with integration partner Amaka), or with a dedicated e-commerce accounting app like A2X or Link My Books for more detailed reconciliation. We handle the complete setup: installing the connector, mapping your chart of accounts, configuring tax rates, and setting up order sync rules. The entire process takes 2-3 days.

Shopify Payments deposits appear as lump sums in your Xero bank feed. We configure A2X or similar tools to break down each deposit into individual orders, fees, and refunds, making reconciliation automatic. Your Shopify payout will match exactly in Xero.

Yes. Xero publishes a free Shopify app on the Shopify App Store that syncs either a daily summary of sales and payments or individual orders, and matches Shopify payouts with your Xero bank feed to reconcile fees, refunds and taxes. For higher order volumes or more detailed reconciliation, third-party apps like A2X and Link My Books are popular. We configure whichever option fits your store for order, inventory and payment sync.

The best integration depends on your needs. For accurate accounting and bank reconciliation, we recommend A2X - it's purpose-built for e-commerce accounting. For simpler setups, Amaka works well. We assess your requirements and configure the optimal solution.

Yes, if you use Xero's inventory tracking feature. We configure stock levels to sync between Shopify and Xero, keeping your inventory counts accurate across both platforms.

Orders from Shopify are synced to Xero as invoices or sales receipts. The sync includes order details, customer info, products, taxes, and payment status. We configure sync frequency (real-time or scheduled) and mapping rules.

Xero handles multi-currency excellently. We configure proper currency mapping so international sales are recorded in the correct currency with automatic conversion to your base currency for reporting.

We typically recommend A2X for comprehensive e-commerce accounting - it handles Shopify Payments reconciliation perfectly. For budget-conscious stores, Amaka is a solid alternative. We choose based on your specific needs.

Absolutely! We configure the integration to work with your existing Xero chart of accounts and structure. We can coordinate directly with your accountant to ensure the setup meets their requirements.

Payment processing fees, Shopify subscription fees, transaction fees, and shipping costs are all tracked separately in Xero. This gives you accurate profit reporting by separating revenue from expenses.

Yes, we can configure multiple Shopify stores to sync with a single Xero account. Each store's transactions are properly categorized and tracked separately for accurate reporting.

Professional setup takes 2-3 days. This includes account mapping, sync configuration, testing with real orders, and documentation. We also provide 2 weeks of post-setup support.

Xero replaced its original Shopify integration with a new Shopify integration by Xero, and the old integration was retired on 8 July 2026. If your store was on the old connection, reconnect Shopify and Xero using the new app so sales keep syncing, then check your account, tax and payment mappings and confirm there are no gaps or duplicates in your sales history. We can run the migration and reconciliation check for you.

Yes, Xero's own Shopify app is free to install. Third-party connectors such as A2X, Link My Books, Xero Bridge and Xero Connector charge a monthly subscription based on order volume and features. Our setup service is a one-time fee on top of whichever app you choose.

Daily summaries keep Xero clean and fast for stores with many orders, and they reconcile neatly against Shopify payouts. Individual orders give you customer-level detail in Xero, which is useful for B2B or lower-volume stores. Most high-volume stores use summaries; we help you choose based on your order volume and what your accountant needs.
