XERO SYNC by BOLD

Great app! Eliminates a spreadsheet for me - thanks. It would be nice if there was a bit more of a log of all the entries created in Xero (especially for new users; I had to hunt around a bit to find out what the app had done. It did do everything just fine). My spreadsheet did calculate the PayPal fees too (but it was not always correct!). Shopify fees too don't come across automatically. Turning on the email notification means I had to build an email rule to ignore the 'successes' (especially if no sales), but I couldn't find a way to only get notification of failures, which would be nice. This app certainly saves time..

Really expensive for what you get - no way to NOT export the inventory so it gave me more headaches than it was worth when all I wanted was to export payment data for reconciliation. I've switched to another app which gives me 400 transactions for the same price I was paying for 200 on this app, better and faster customer service too.

It works for me which is to simply import sales from Shopify to xero. but at $60 a month not nearly worth it. I will be canceling shortly and just doing one monthly journal entry.

After using this app for a year, we're now encountering serious issues. The app has been mapping customer's with the same name (eg John Smith and John Smith) to the same Xero account, despite the customers having different addresses, emails and order numbers.

We've contacted support about this and have been told that this is just the basic functionality of the app and nothing can be done about it. The only work around is to ensure that no two customers have the same name. This is clearly not possible when our customers are ordering through a shopify store and input their own name and contact details.

The issue has resulted in Xero emailing invoices to the wrong customer's email address, and a handful of justifiably annoyed customers contacting us to accuse us of invoicing them for goods they had not ordered or received. It also raises a number of Data Protection problems.

If you are a business that is likely to have more than one customer with the same first and second name, I would look elsewhere for your Xero integration.

Pretty simple setup, does what it says, nice integration for the basics. Great app. Thanks guys!

No issues so far and is doing what it says it will do. I will update if I begin experiencing problems.

Very Useless app. Orders are exported as paid, and there is no way to reconcile actual bank deposits than constantly removing & redo the fake payments created when exporting data.
Merchant fees are exported as a spend money and even if the account chosen should be GST on purchase, it is exported as BAS excluded.
They tell you payments can be reconciled against a clearing account, but they can only create a duplicate of receive money transaction instead of a spend money transaction that will balance the clearing account to 0.

This app previously worked seamlessly. As of last week they have started adding a customer number which in turn adds around 2 minutes more work to every transaction - a massive setback. We now need to edit the customer name as the invoice will look very unprofessional with (Shopify Customer 123456789). Not sure what the devs were thinking when they made this change? In addition, the integration is now quite buggy - some transactions don't come across in spite of accurate part numbers and inventory etc. Super annoying as this was a great product not so long ago

Initially I thought the App worked well however this is not the case at all. We implemented the app through Shopify to bring all our sales into Xero. The challenge is that the sales cannot be allocated to Item codes within Xero which means the information coming in cannot be reconciled correctly. I asked Bold who developed the App to look at this and they said "it is in the pipeline and they have no solution at the moment". So if you want to dump sales into a general sales account fine. But if you wish to allocate against certain product codes in Xero it is currently useless and has now created a massive amount of work for my team when we thought it would reduce it. Very disappointed.

Cutting to the point - you don't actually need this app to use Xero successfully with Shopify. Once you've linked your business bank account with Xero, all your expense and revenue data is regularly imported/synced
from your bank anyway. So when Shopify pays you out for your sales, it will show up as a credit in Xero and all you have to do is allocate that transaction to 'sales revenue'. Done.

This app actually doesn't do anything that Xero doesn't already do. Just trying to get extra money out of newbies who haven't had the chance to figure it out for themselves yet.
