Shopify QB syncing issues

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

Primary issue: Shopify POS (Point of Sale) syncing with QB (QuickBooks) via a connector app is unreliable—daily item syncs fail, and vendor names must be manually corrected on each invoice. The poster asks for a better connector or a different accounting system that works smoothly with Shopify.

Latest input: One reply suggests considering alternative accounting software instead of QuickBooks, highlighting options with strong Shopify integrations:

  • Xero: User-friendly; real-time syncing of sales, inventory, and customer data; advanced reporting; customizable dashboards.
  • Zoho Books: Designed for small businesses; seamless syncing of sales, expenses, and inventory; automated workflows; expense tracking.

Outcomes and actions: No specific alternative QB connector was recommended. The concrete action suggested is to evaluate switching to Xero or Zoho Books for improved integration performance.

Status: Unresolved and ongoing. Key questions remain about the best QB connector for Shopify and whether switching accounting systems fully addresses vendor name and daily sync issues.

We use Shopify POS and use QB connector app for syncing to QB. Is there a better app to use? Or is there a better accounting system beside QB to use with Shopify? We are tired of items not syncing daily and having to change the vendors name everytime an invoice syncs from Shopify to QB.

Hi,

This is Richard at PageFly - Shopify Advanced Page Builder app.

While QuickBooks is a popular accounting software, it’s not always the best fit for every business, especially when it comes to integrating with Shopify. Here are some alternative options to consider:

Alternative Accounting Software:

  1. Xero:

    • Known for its user-friendly interface and strong integration with Shopify.
    • Offers real-time syncing of sales, inventory, and customer data.
    • Provides advanced reporting features and customizable dashboards.

  2. Zoho Books:

    • Another robust accounting software with a focus on small businesses.
    • Seamlessly integrates with Shopify, syncing sales, expenses, and inventory.
    • Offers advanced features like automated workflows and expense tracking.

Hoping my solution helps you solve your problem.

Best regards,
