Thank you, and this software is compatible with the lowest shopify plan? ($5/month starter plan?)
Topic summary
-
Core issue: A store on Shopify’s $5/month Starter plan needs a reliable accounting plugin to file business taxes; nothing found compatible so far, asking if manual filing is necessary.
-
Suggestions: A third‑party option (Link My Books) was recommended. It is believed to work on the lowest plan, offers a free trial, and takes about 15 minutes to set up. However, it may not be financially viable for low sales volumes.
-
Limitations: Link My Books requires Xero or QuickBooks as the accounting platform. It functions as a bridge that automates data transfer into those systems, not as a standalone bookkeeping or tax‑filing solution.
-
Request for 2‑in‑1: The requester seeks an all‑in‑one tool (automation + bookkeeping) that integrates with Shopify Starter. No specific 2‑in‑1 solution was provided; suitability for early‑stage businesses was questioned.
-
Resources: A Shopify blog article on small‑business accounting tools was shared for further research.
-
Outcome: No confirmed solution chosen. Next steps: trial Link My Books with Xero/QuickBooks or proceed manually. Discussion remains open; availability of a true 2‑in‑1 compatible with Starter is unresolved.
