Shopify Apps
,

Topic summary

A New Zealand-based Shopify merchant is experiencing errors with their current Shopify-Xero integration app. The main challenge involves properly handling GST for domestic sales (GST-inclusive) versus international sales (zero-rated/exempt) across both physical and digital products.

Suggested Solutions:

• Cloudify Shopify-Xero app — Recommended for its automatic order syncing, GST mapping capabilities, multi-currency support, and real-time error tracking

• Research existing options — Review past community discussions and test available apps from the Shopify App Store before committing

• Custom integration — If off-the-shelf solutions fail, consider building custom middleware using automation tools (like Mechanic app) or services (Zapier, Make, Airtable) depending on the API available

Current Status:

The merchant is in discussions with their current app’s support team but seeks alternative recommendations. The issue remains unresolved, with the merchant looking for proven solutions from other NZ users facing similar GST differentiation requirements.

I am based in New Zealand and have been using an app to integrate between Shopify and Xero but it isn’t going well with several errors… we sell physical and digital products domestically (which include GST) and internationally ( which are exempt/zero rated). Has anyone had a good experience with an app to send details from Shopify to Xero? I am stuck

Hi @MargieOlds

I hope you’re doing well!

I recommend reaching out to the app’s support team for assistance. They should be able to provide you with the best solutions for resolving the errors you’re encountering. And other issues you’re facing.

Thanks I am currently in discussions with them but I was wondering if any other shopify users had a better solution or could suggest another app… I can’t be the only person in NZ trying to seamlessly export to Xero and differentiate products by GST or zero rated

Hey, I hear you — setting up Xero with Shopify can get complicated, especially when you’re dealing with GST for both domestic and international sales. I’ve found the Cloudify Shopify -Xero app really useful for this.

It handles both physical and digital products, automatically syncs Shopify orders to Xero, and makes GST mapping much easier (including zero-rated exports and domestic GST). Some of its features include:

  • Syncs orders, customers, refunds, and payouts

  • Supports multiple currencies and stores

  • Let’s you map taxes, accounts, and payment methods

  • Shows real-time sync status and errors to help troubleshoot quickly

Definitely worth checking out if you want a smoother integration. Good luck!

What did research show? Search results for 'xero #shopify-apps' - Shopify Community

Most responses will be AI gibberish or adverts, look to the past first.

Or which apps have you specifically tested Search results for "xero" – Ecommerce Plugins for Online Stores – Shopify App Store

You have do a testing process don’t you.

Generally if the stuff on the shelf isn’t working you need to built it yourself.

If there is an rest api with basic auth you can use an automation tool like the mechanic app to script custom business logic as a middleware. Or if it has like a google-sheets integration as a lingua franca to bridge things together.

If it only has Oauth you need either build middleware, a custom app, or a service like zapier,make, airtable etc.

Depends on complexity , your effort in testing, and budget though.
