Dear frinends, i am confused that, wheather Xero accouting software or quickbook, which one is good. I have used before Xero, which bank reconciliation is not automatic, we have to capture ourself. How about Quickbook? or Xero is better?

Hey! If you’re already familiar with Xero, I’d say stick with it — especially if you’re using Shopify. You can connect both easily using this app: Shopify Integration by Cloudify.

It automatically syncs your Shopify orders, refunds, and customer details to Xero, creating invoices in real time. Plus, it keeps your sales and accounting data perfectly aligned without manual entry. Makes bookkeeping much smoother than doing it all manually in Xero.
