How to integrate your Shopify Store with Xero Cloud Accounting

If you are running a Shopify Store and looking for a way to automatically import your sales into Xero for your Bookkeeping, this guide will show you how. Firstly there are a few things to take into consideration.

How it works

  • Xero only imports fully paid orders.

  • Each order is only imported once.

  • Xero will create an invoice for each order and allocate the payment made against the invoice.

  • The Shopify order number will be used as the invoice number and will show up in the reference fields.

  • Xero will create a credit note for each refund and allocate the refunded amount to the credit note.

  • If you want to sync your inventory with Xero it is recommended that you use a third party app from the Shopify app store to help with this as there may be Xero syncing issues with quantities.

  • You will need to map your tax rates in Shopify to your tax rates in Xero
