Summary: Xero is the accounting platform of choice for many UK small businesses. Integrating it with your store saves hours of manual entry.
If your store runs on Shopify, WooCommerce or a marketplace, every sale, fee and refund needs to reach Xero. Doing it by hand does not scale.
What to sync
- Sales invoices or daily summaries
- Payment processor fees and payouts
- Refunds and credit notes
- VAT on sales
- Stock values where relevant
Reconciliation made easy
Record payouts as clearing transactions so they match bank deposits in Xero's bank feed.
VAT accuracy
Map tax rates correctly for each product type and for sales to customers abroad. Your accountant should review the setup.
Ready-made or custom
Connectors exist for most platforms; custom integrations handle unusual workflows or multiple channels.
