I need an app built for purchase orders/xero

Shopify Apps

Topic summary

A UK dropshipping retailer seeks a purchase order solution that integrates with Xero and passes COGS (Cost of Goods Sold); their current tool (Full Shelf) lacks Xero integration.

Proposed approaches:

  • Low-code connectors (Make.com, Zapier) to sync existing Shopify COGS data into Xero.
  • Scriptable automation via Mechanic to integrate with APIs (link to task library provided).
  • ETL/export tools to move data: Matrixify (CSV exports) and EZ-Exporter (FTP/email delivery).
  • All-in-one app suggestion: Stock & Buy for inventory management plus Xero syncing, reported to provide accurate COGS sync (user states no affiliation).

Notes:

  • Xero is an accounting platform; COGS tracks the direct costs of products sold.
  • ETL refers to extract–transform–load data pipelines.

Outcome/status: Multiple viable options were suggested; no confirmation of selection or resolution from the requester. Discussion remains open.

Hi

we run a sucessful drop shipping website in the UK. We currently use full shelf for our purchase orders and Xero for accounting.

However, full shelf doesnt integrate with Xero, we need a purchase order app that can send the COGS over to Xero

If the COGS data properly exists in shopify then you may want to look at a lowcode service that integrates with Xero like make.com or zapier.

There’s also scriptable apps like mechanic that can be scripted to integrate with some apis

There’s also ETL apps like matrixify to get a CSV, or ez-exporter that can send over FTP or email.

Good Hunting.

@gazzzzzer Check out Stock & Buy. I use it primarily for inventory management and all my Xero Syncing.
(Disclosure: I am no association to the app or developers. Just the best tool I’ve found for accurate COGS and Xero sync)
