Accounting sync ‑ Synder

I used Synder as our first bridge from Shopify to QuickBooks, worked great, due to our company moving to QuickBooks Commerce which was unexpectedly retired, we needed a solution to manage our data. After so many failed attempts to move our data, even from QB Online to QB Enterprise, the data would not import. Always failed after hours of wasted time, until we came across the Synder App and their Business Importer/Exporter. Easy quick setup and fast results. Darya from support was spot on during setup, with fast response time! Great app!

Let me tell you about Synder and how it’s totally transformed the way I run my business. This app is like having a trusty sidekick for all the nitty-gritty but super important tasks, freeing me up to focus on the fun stuff. With Synder, everything from sales and refunds to fees and shipping is handled smoothly.

If you're new to the game, like I was, definitely check out their YouTube channel. Their videos are like treasure maps for navigating the platform. And don't skip the free web demo – it's your chance to get all your burning questions answered before you jump in. Then, take advantage of the 15-day free trial to see the magic for yourself.

Before my trial ran out, I knew Synder was the real deal. I splurged on an hour of private screen sharing help, and let me tell you, it was worth every penny. It saved me a ton of headaches and boosted my confidence, especially with confirming all my mappings and fixing some errors on my QuickBooks Desktop. After that, I stuck with Synder for a few more weeks and even scheduled another session to tackle any lingering questions. Huge shoutout to George, my customer service superhero. He was there every step of the way, patient and always ready to help. It was nice to have an assistant assigned to you from day one!

Sure, there are other options out there, but Synder is top-notch – and budget-friendly too. And George? He's the real MVP, no contest. Thanks to Synder, running my business has become a breeze, and I couldn't be happier.

Be very careful, if you are thinking of using Synder - it could cause more problems than it solves, and can be incredibly unreliable: we've been using Synder for just over a year, to connect Shopify to Xero, as it had a functionality we could not find elsewhere. But in that time we have had 3 or 4 major incidents, where Synder has created massive accounting issues. Often, these issues seems to happen following Synder 'updating' something, presumably from not checking for bugs properly. For example the latest issue saw Synder not create invoices for £4700 of orders, and instead applied the value of these orders as payments on unpaid invoices, so removing over £9000 of sales from our cashflow and accounts; it took me 2 days at the worst possible timing to manually fix the accounts. Or a previous incident, when in trying to fix another issue, their support ended up duplicating a few months worth of certain invoices (not helpful when you use direct debits..). It has basically been horribly unreliable; everything can be working fine for weeks or months, and then all of a sudden some change or perhaps an update occurs and a bug (not that Synder will ever call it what it is) will have been created, and the key question is how log does it take for you to discover, and what havoc will it have caused in the meantime! It often feels like you are Beta testing Synder, and paying for the privilege... And what refund will you get from Synder for the wasted days, the lost income, and the hit to your credibility with your customers, not to mention the stress of having your accounts messed up? Frighteningly little, they will likely offer you a handful of 'sync's' , whilst charging a substantial amount for the app, and rarely parting with a penny of what you have paid. If I knew what I know now, I would have never started using Synder; but you build your systems around the use of such things, and it takes planning and effort to redesign how your business operates. It holds great promise Synder, on paper, but in our experience it has been costly, incredibly unreliable at times, and Synder seems to care little about the effect of bugs on customers.

We tried using this app in our Shopify store for over a year but could not get it to sync properly and it has been a nightmare reconciling our books. After many attempts with their tech support, we were forced to find an alternative solution, which is much less expensive and has been working like a charm from the minute we installed it. To add insult to injury, Synder will not reimburse us for the 11 months this year we will not be using their app. What a waste of time and money.

Synder is great! I use it for both of my e-commerce brands. I highly recommend using it to keep your books organized. The Support is great and Vili was super helpful during our setup call!
