What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from ecommerce teams we have built accounting integrations for.

We had a different kind of problem. People were visiting the store, adding products to their carts, and then disappearing before they finished the order. We had tried a few apps and made changes here and there, but nothing really seemed to solve the bigger issue. The team went through the shopping experience with us and pointed out things we hadn't really noticed ourselves. They cleaned up the cart and checkout flow, made the mobile experience much smoother, and helped us make the store feel easier to shop. I’m not going to pretend we fixed everything overnight, but it finally feels like the store is helping the sale instead of getting in the way of it.
Ethan Parker
Founder of Elite Academy
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
James Whitmore
Head of Marketing of Lumen Outdoor
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.

07Work Culture
Why Businesses Trust Us With Shopify Xero Integration
Getting a payout mapped to the wrong account or tax rate means bad books, so the sync has to match how your business actually reconciles. These are the habits we bring to every project.
Native connector checked first
We tell you upfront if Xero's free Shopify integration already covers what you need.
Reconciled to the cent
Payout-matched sync built so your Xero bank deposits tie out without manual work.
Tax coded correctly
Sales tax mapped by jurisdiction instead of lumped into an unusable summary.
No duplicate entries
Payout ID matching means a sync retry or re-run never posts the same invoice twice.
Tested before it's live
Sandbox testing with real payout and currency scenarios before your live books are touched.
Built to be maintained
Documentation and an optional retainer so the sync keeps working as your business grows.

Who it's for
Stores manually keying Shopify orders into Xero
Someone on your team is entering orders, refunds, or payouts into Xero by hand every week.
Businesses whose payouts don't match Xero
Your Shopify payouts and Xero bank deposits don't reconcile to the cent, and finding the mismatch eats hours every month.
Merchants selling in multiple currencies
You sell internationally and need exchange rates, fees, and tax handled correctly in Xero, not lumped into one currency.
Businesses needing inventory and COGS in Xero
You want accurate cost of goods sold and stock value showing in your Xero financial reports, not just sales totals.
Sellers running multiple channels into one Xero file
You sell on Shopify plus Amazon, eBay, or TikTok Shop and want it all landing in a single Xero ledger instead of separate exports.
Not a fit for
You just need a basic summary of Shopify sales in Xero without proper tax handling or multiple channels combined. Xero's own free Shopify integration already covers that basic case.
You need Shopify to QuickBooks integration instead of Xero. Our Shopify QuickBooks Integration service covers that.
You need broader ERP integration beyond accounting, such as SAP, Odoo, or Dynamics. Our Shopify ERP Integration service covers that.
You specifically need NetSuite as your ERP and accounting system. Our Shopify NetSuite Integration service covers that.
You need inventory sync across sales channels rather than an accounting integration. Our Multichannel Inventory Sync service covers that.

12FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on Shopify Xero integration, payout reconciliation, and multi-currency sync.
Connector app or custom Shopify Xero integration: which is better?
Xero's own free Shopify integration works well for a basic daily or per-order sales summary, but it doesn't account for US sales tax and isn't built for multi-currency, COGS, or combining several sales channels into one ledger. A custom build makes sense once any of those apply to you.
How do orders, refunds, fees and payouts sync to Xero?
We post one summary invoice per Shopify payout, matched to the cent against your bank deposit, with sales, refunds, and processing fees each coded to the right account and tax rate, the same clearing-account approach used for reliable reconciliation.
How does multi-currency and sales tax work in the sync?
We map each currency to its own tracking so exchange gains or losses post correctly, and unlike Xero's native connector, which doesn't account for US sales tax, we code tax by jurisdiction so your Xero reports are usable for filing.
How much does a custom Shopify Xero integration cost?
Projects typically start from $1,499 for order, refund and payout sync, and scale up with multi-currency, COGS, or multi-channel requirements. You get a fixed quote after reviewing your setup.
Can inventory and COGS sync with Xero?
Yes, we sync cost of goods sold as payouts come in so your Xero financial reports reflect accurate stock value and margin, not just sales totals.
How do you stop duplicate or missing invoices?
We match each sync to a unique payout ID so a payout is never posted twice, even if a webhook retries or a sync is re-run manually, and flag any payout that doesn't have a matching invoice for review.
Can you connect multiple sales channels to one Xero file?
Yes, we can route Shopify, Amazon, eBay, or TikTok Shop sales into a single Xero ledger with each channel's fees and tax coded separately, so you get one set of books instead of several exports.
How long does setup take?
Most projects take 1 to 4 weeks depending on how many currencies, channels, and accounts need to be mapped.
