XERO SYNC by Bold , 212 reviews

AVOID APPS BY BOLD COMMERCE.

The app and team behind it remains an utter disappointment. Bloat features were added instead of fixing critical infrastructure. Customer support is absent.

Sync breaks without notification. Errors are unsolvable and riddled with cryptic messages like "A NoMethodError occured when saving the order." Unsolvable 500 Error pages.

Archived Xero Contacts are impossible to change. Navigation is a pain. The "Mapping" page never loads -- customer support mentioned that it does take 10+ minutes.

There is no priority placed into resolving critical bugs for a semi-functional overpriced app. Bold will abandon you and your issues.

Original review: Bait and switch scam. Pretended to be an official app by Xero, then started charging $20+/month without notifying users.

This integration has always been free. They suggest I move to the Enterprise plan. So now I have to pay Xero their monthly fee and another monthly fee for their integration!? I'll be researching other ways to work with Xero.

Buggy and incomplete.

We faced number of issues that turned out to be bugs in this app. After weeks of exchanging emails and wasting our time, we were told its a bug and their developers "are working on it". One month later nothing has happened, ticket closed! This app is far from ready.

It does not support multiple stores.
It has issues importing taxes correctly.
Randomly fails to import transactions and never imports them to Xero,...

We have been using this app for over 2 years now, I would avoid if you were looking for a seamless integration, the app has plenty of flaws and bugs that will result in inaccurate information being fed though to Xero, causing huge amount of workload that requires manual correction.

The support team replies every 1 or 2 days to try and help, but the programming within the APP is the major let down of it all. Now we are left with thousands of sales invoices, sale payments, credit notes, credit note payments and much more to be manually checked to ensure all errors were corrected.

The export report is very basic, it will show X amount has been exported, but you have no way of finding out what has or hasn't been exported, this is a huge problem when you are trying to check each export to ensure the app hasn't messed up again.

If you have inventory that requires 100% accuracy with part numbers, this app also will slip, some part numbers will be fed through, some will not entirely, and some will be fed through as an incorrect part number.

As mentioned in my first sentence, if you want a trouble free integration, I would suggest you look elsewhere.

Hugely disappointed with the app, they need better developers to write their app that doesn't screw up people's business and livelihood.

I would wish our experience upon anyone else, we usually leave positive reviews where we can, but this app has cost us a massive amount of resource as all our employees are now working on the accounting to ensure that Xero is error free, and unable to do carry out their originally assigned duty.

So unless you wish to have lots of errors in your Xero that you will not be able to easily identify, this is not the app for you as a Shopify owner that already has a million things to do without the need for this amount of stress and unnecessary workload!

Sadly since BOLD taking over the app, bugs have presented themselves and are not being fixed, rendering the product completely useless...

Seems the app is getting worse...

Are you guys aware of how completely broken the Bold - Xero integration is?? I've had ongoing issues since late June!! I'm seeing a number of negative reviews cropping up on the App site so realise I'm not alone in having problems.
I know this is now a third party issue (Bold) but many of your users must rely on this APP and as it was yours originally, this reflects badly on Shopify too.
We are facing a VAT return in the next few weeks and I have no idea of our liabilities because the Xero App has been so unreliable. This is not a small problem, it creates a massive logistical headache, how do we know what is correctly synced and what isn't. How do we handle the huge amount of work involved in correcting the problems?
This integration is absolutely fundamental in making the use of Shopify viable for us and I'm sure many other merchants. We are a multi million pound business shipping 500 orders per week. This is not a trivial matter and yet the months of delays seem to imply that Bold are not taking this seriously enough!

Not even worth 1 star. Cant map all of our transactions to the Xero dashboard, wasted multiple months of $60 subscription fees for nothing. Don't bother with Xero since this app makes it unusable with Shopify.

So they took a perfectly working FREE app... add bugs and a bucket of exporting issues to it...and charge us $59?!? (Yes, they offer a free plan for people who wish to sell 1 item per day...so it doesn't apply to us).

Sorry but not at that price.

Currently looking for alternatives and it seems ONESAAS and Expandly looks promising (and a lot cheaper)

The completely ridiculous pricing structure has been introduced without any notification or communication from the developers. My XERO subscription costs less than this app now does. I don't mind paying for apps that work well and provide a solution within my store, but to go from free to $60USD a month without any notice is absolutely ridiculous.

Constant problems and errors when transferring data, crappy app just says do it manually. Why am I paying you when I have to do it manually. IT SHOULDNT BE THIS HARD
