I have been waiting for an app for Xero that works. When I first had my site built, the reviews were so bad and I wasn't going to risk it. I have been patiently waiting for this app to be taken over by a good developer and was pleased when it was Bold as they are so good. It is seamless and gives us some hours back.Customer service is fast and helpful. Definitely get this app if you use Xero.

Jericho has helped both times I have had issues creating product codes and using the mapping tool - he is fantastic!

Do NOT touch this app with a 10-foot pole... This app has been my worst experience with Shopify by far. I thought, "oh, I use Shopify and Xero, so clearly I need this app, right?" Wrong. This app has done nothing but cause MAJOR trouble in my Xero account. Accounting is already a little bit tricky. What you don't need is an app to completely dismantle the structure of your accounting records and require a PhD in accounting/Xero to fix it. Customer service from both Xero and Bold have been unhelpful, pointing fingers at one another and offering suggestions that don't work. I am completely fed up. My taxes are due in just a few days and right now this app has caused my sales to look like their doubled (artificially inflating my tax liability). I need to eliminate this double-counting ASAP in order to pay the right amount of taxes. I really wish I had never even thought of installing this app. I should have listened to the other reviewers. I'll never make that mistake again! Even Xero bookkeeping firms are telling me to stay away from this app, that it has major problems. I normally like Bold and use some of their other apps. Not this one. Ever. Again.

Support has been helpful however the app has not been properly mapping the Shopify SKU to the Xero inventory item.

This has caused significant trouble with inventory reports in Xero and is not a problem easily solved in Xero. Each transaction has to be manually corrected.

The app has also been posting discounts to the "rounding" account in Xero.

What is nice about the app is that each sale has a direct link to the order in Shopify and applies payment to the invoice.

I really wish this app worked better as we've invested many hours into making this work.

Update: I have been working with BOLD support for MONTHS and the issues with the product codes persists and have even been made worse.

And now the shipping discounts are posted to "rounding" in Xero. Which I have also brought to their attention, with no fix in sight.

Great product. This app does what it's supposed to do without the complicated integration process that most apps of this nature have.

What a terrible app! Cannot believe this is the only option we have to sync orders with Xero. Appalling!!!
It only works half the time, it consistently has errors and issues. This should be a free app. Period!!!

Automates the entry of all your sales into Xero. Huge time saver and it’s free!
We currently use another app for Inventory.

First of all, way to expensive especially since it doesn’t work right. We have been in contact with their support for about a month now because we are getting errors with our tax code when importing. They said their engineers are working on a fix. It’s pathetic, I hope someone will add an alternative app to import sales to our accounting software. This one star is for Shopify too on allowing such a horrible company rip people off. Stop gouging every last cent out of everyone. We are paying a huge monthly fee to you anyways.

Makes life much easier! After working perfectly for a few months we had an issue with some data not exporting t Xero, great support from Nirav - fixed it up and exported the missing transactions in a couple of hours.
