How the Shopify Xero Integration Works
SyncTools connects your Shopify store to Xero using secure OAuth authentication, with no passwords stored and no manual CSV exports. Once connected, every Shopify transaction posts to Xero within minutes of it occurring.
What syncs: Sales orders, refunds, payment gateway fees (Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal), Shopify platform fees, shipping charges, sales tax collected by jurisdiction, cost of goods sold (COGS), and payout settlements. Every line item maps to the correct account in your Xero chart of accounts, with no guesswork or manual reclassification after the fact.
Sync modes: Choose individual transaction sync for order-level detail in Xero, or summarized sync that consolidates daily totals into clean journal entries. Summarized sync is ideal for high-volume stores that don't want Xero flooded with thousands of individual invoices. Your accountant will thank you. Both modes support multi-currency with automatic exchange rate conversion at time of transaction.
Tax handling: SyncTools supports advanced tax-setting rules for USA, UK, and international markets. Configure rules by country, state, payment source, or custom rate, which is critical for merchants with cross-border sales and VAT obligations.
Who uses it: Shopify merchants processing 200–5,000+ orders per month who are tired of manual bookkeeping. E-commerce accountants managing multiple client stores from one dashboard. Growing DTC brands that need audit-ready Xero financials without hiring a dedicated bookkeeper. Multi-store operators who need consolidated COGS and P&L visibility across all channels.
Pricing: SyncTools starts free with up to 200 orders per month and no credit card required. Paid plans start at $19/month, scaling to Standard ($59/month, 2,000 orders) and Plus ($89/month, 5,000 orders). Every plan includes the complete Shopify Xero integration with no feature paywalls on core sync functionality.
