Comprehensive Integration Features

Our Shopify Xero integration provides everything you need to keep your e-commerce and accounting systems perfectly synchronized

Real-Time Order Synchronization

Every order placed in your Shopify store is automatically synced to Xero in real-time. Orders appear in Xero as invoices or sales receipts, complete with customer information, line items, and payment details. This eliminates manual data entry and ensures your accounting records are always up-to-date.

Inventory Management

Keep your inventory levels synchronized between Shopify and Xero. When products are sold in Shopify, stock levels are automatically updated in Xero. This bidirectional sync ensures accurate inventory tracking across both platforms, preventing overselling and stock discrepancies.

Customer Data Sync

Customer information from Shopify is automatically synchronized with Xero contacts. New customers are created in Xero, and existing customer records are updated with the latest information. This maintains a single source of truth for customer data across your systems.

Financial Reconciliation

Automatically reconcile payments, refunds, and fees between Shopify and Xero. Transaction details are mapped correctly, including payment methods, fees, and taxes. This simplifies month-end reconciliation and ensures financial accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Shopify Xero integration

How does Shopify Xero integration work?

The integration connects your Shopify store and Xero account through secure API connections. When an order is placed in Shopify, it automatically creates a corresponding invoice or sales receipt in Xero. The sync happens in real-time, ensuring your accounting records are always current. You can configure what data gets synced and customize the mapping according to your business needs.

How long does it take to set up the integration?

Setup typically takes just a few minutes. You'll need to authorize the connection between your Shopify store and Xero account, configure your sync preferences (what data to sync, mapping rules), and the integration will start working immediately. Our setup wizard guides you through each step.

Is my data secure?

Yes, security is our top priority. We use industry-standard encryption (SSL/TLS) for all data transfers. We never store your financial data permanently - we only act as a secure bridge between Shopify and Xero. All connections use OAuth 2.0 authentication, and we comply with GDPR and data protection regulations.

Can I sync historical data?

Yes, during initial setup, you can choose to sync historical orders and data from Shopify to Xero. This ensures your accounting system has a complete record of past transactions. The initial sync may take some time depending on the volume of historical data, but subsequent syncs happen in real-time.

What happens if there's a sync error?

Our system includes comprehensive error handling and logging. If a sync fails, you'll receive an alert, and the system will retry automatically. All sync attempts are logged, so you can review what happened and resolve any issues. Our support team is available to help with any persistent problems.

Does this work for UK and EU businesses?

Absolutely. The integration is designed with UK and EU businesses in mind. It properly handles VAT calculations, supports multiple currencies, and ensures compliance with local tax regulations. Whether you're based in the UK, Germany, France, or any other EU country, the integration will work seamlessly with your local tax requirements.

Can I customize what data gets synced?

Yes, you have full control over the sync configuration. You can choose which order fields to sync, how to map Shopify products to Xero items, which customer fields to include, and set up custom rules for different scenarios. This flexibility ensures the integration works exactly how your business needs it to.

What if I need to make changes to synced data?

Changes made in either Shopify or Xero can be synchronized based on your configuration. For example, if you update a customer's information in Xero, you can choose to sync that back to Shopify. The integration supports bidirectional sync for most data types, giving you flexibility in how you manage your data.
