Synder for QuickBooks & Xero

This app has saved us hours and hours of billable bookkeeper work. With the press of a button, all transactions can be synced to our QuickBooks from Shopify and other payment systems. Support has been phenomenal as well. There was an issue with one of our tax IDs showing incorrectly and they called us to get us to fix it. Highly recommend this app. You won't be disappointed.

This is the only app we found that syncs individual sales receipts on the payment capture date and time and not the order date and time, so non domestic currency transactions sync accurately to the cent with zero discrepancies. Other apps always resulted in annoying 1-50 cent discrepancies post sync and correcting them wasted so much time. A pricey app compared to others but if you're selling in multiple currencies with multiple processors (eg Shopify payments and PayPal) then this app is absolutely essential and will save much more in time than the $65 hit.

Synder has saved me a huge amount of time on entering invoices and sales. Syncing all my transactions is simple, and I love the new reconciliation feature. What really sets Synder apart is the support. They respond quickly, and they reach out on their own when they notice an issue, which is rare. Highly recommend.

Update 8/7/26 -A big thank you to Hendrick for all his help! He responded to our emails very promptly and actively worked to resolve our issues. He is responsible, attentive and highly professional! Update 3/22/23 - Phone support George has been super helpful and went above and beyond to solve the issues at hand. Not just doing his job but genuinely trying to solve problems! Update 7/15/22 - The support experience has deteriorated in the past months. The development team is taking extensive time (est. 1-3 weeks) to fix issues. Before then they were able to fix it within a week. Responses from the support team are generally longer than 24 hours, typically in the 48-72 range. The responses often don't solve the issue at hand and would require follow-up, which extends the already lengthy process. I've been using this app for more than half a year. Functionalities - outstanding. I use shopify payment, PayPal and Quickbooks. The integration is seamless, especially considering that Synder is a third party app and have to work with all these guys to get things right Support - extremely knowledgeable staffs who know the apps in and out and have knowledge on the accounting aspects too. Responsive, efficient and willing to help. I've never seen a support team that's this dedicated. Whenever I point out bugs, their dev team is usually able to resolve it or come up with a fix in the next several months. I wish I could have a dev team like this. Those are not easy fixes. Excellent App that automated our revenue process. Very helpful support as well - responsive and willing to help.

For more than 1 month, the transactions made via Shopify payments are not imported into Synder (for some reason). Because of that, I cannot create invoices for my customers into Quickbooks, which is SUPER important to every business. I have contacted the customer support multiple times, and they keep answering they are on it for more than one month! Absolutely nothing has been done. They don't seem to understand the urgency of the topic...

The app works well to sync all transactions from the different platforms into Quickbooks. PROS: Allows to pretty much fully automate accounting. CONS: Monthly transactions included in your package do not roll over to the next month. Also the setup time can be quite demanding depending on the number of platforms you need to sync inc.

Great platform, however, hard to set up and their pricing structure is not straight forward. Ended up being charged per automation rule, ect... seems like they are trying to get you to pay extra where ever they can.

Turned into an existential threat to our company Synder built an atomic bomb into our entire accounting and did nothing to fix it for one month. We do not know how to proceed, the Service is not replying and we do not have a way out. We have thousands of orders in the backlog that are not synced and no way to solve the problem. Our cash flow is off, our inventory is off and we are entirely blind. Be aware of all the fake reviews of newly added users that only rated Synder. Check the negative ratings for an accurate idea. Update: The friendly Service team helped us to solve the complete shutdown after multiple weeks. Now the tool is 20% working with multiple failures per hour. I am definitely not happy with the current state, as we have one person nearly full-time monitoring Synder. Update: Weeks later, the tool is still not working. Errors and red flags are everywhere. We are in 24/7 contact with support but we are still looking for a solution. Update: The issues seem to be fixed now and our books are restored correctly. Andrew worked hard to solve our problems and we appreciate his assistance. We will update this review in the future in case the system stays stable or collapses again. Update: Another update. After reconciling our books we found countless other problems that were caused by Synder. The service guys (especially Vili) are legends but the tool simply does not work. It creates so many problems and we invest more time in trying to solve them than we are saving using the tool. For the past months, our inventory, sales figures, and revenues have been completely off and we are doing everything we can to straighten things out to close the year properly. So despite all the great and responsive service, Synder and everything is represents is probably the biggest problem we are currently dealing with as a company

Found this app through the app store. Does the job well and as described. Only complaint is the inability to accept multiple currencies with the smaller plan. We sell in both the U.S. and Canadian markets, but don't have enough sales to justify paying the larger monthly fees.

We tried using this app in our Shopify store for over a year but could not get it to sync properly and it has been a nightmare reconciling our books. After many attempts with their tech support, we were forced to find an alternative solution, which is much less expensive and has been working like a charm from the minute we installed it. To add insult to injury, Synder will not reimburse us for the 11 months this year we will not be using their app. What a waste of time and money.

Be very careful, if you are thinking of using Synder - it could cause more problems than it solves, and can be incredibly unreliable: we've been using Synder for just over a year, to connect Shopify to Xero, as it had a functionality we could not find elsewhere. But in that time we have had 3 or 4 major incidents, where Synder has created massive accounting issues. Often, these issues seems to happen following Synder 'updating' something, presumably from not checking for bugs properly. For example the latest issue saw Synder not create invoices for £4700 of orders, and instead applied the value of these orders as payments on unpaid invoices, so removing over £9000 of sales from our cashflow and accounts; it took me 2 days at the worst possible timing to manually fix the accounts. Or a previous incident, when in trying to fix another issue, their support ended up duplicating a few months worth of certain invoices (not helpful when you use direct debits..). It has basically been horribly unreliable; everything can be working fine for weeks or months, and then all of a sudden some change or perhaps an update occurs and a bug (not that Synder will ever call it what it is) will have been created, and the key question is how log does it take for you to discover, and what havoc will it have caused in the meantime! It often feels like you are Beta testing Synder, and paying for the privilege... And what refund will you get from Synder for the wasted days, the lost income, and the hit to your credibility with your customers, not to mention the stress of having your accounts messed up? Frighteningly little, they will likely offer you a handful of 'sync's' , whilst charging a substantial amount for the app, and rarely parting with a penny of what you have paid. If I knew what I know now, I would have never started using Synder; but you build your systems around the use of such things, and it takes planning and effort to redesign how your business operates. It holds great promise Synder, on paper, but in our experience it has been costly, incredibly unreliable at times, and Synder seems to care little about the effect of bugs on customers.

It took ConnectBooks three weeks to onboard us. The difference in support was a chasm. ConnectBooks have the ability to map products between QuickBooks and your marketplaces with a simple excel sheet - like every other application. Synder do not have this facility, we worked with their technical team but they were slow and provided incomplete mapping and support - more so they did not deliver what was promised, only 10% (enough to fill a screen). ConnectBooks focus on payouts which is all that is needed - no more gazillion new customers interfering with our wholesale business. We asked for a refund of some of the fees we paid so that we could pay the data for our ConnectBooks implementation but they refused. Initiated a credit card dispute. I am disappointed with this experience, I see many good reviews here but recently some very negative ones. I believe this is an account management issue with a specific account manager that needs to get fixed and made right by Synder management.

The setup to be too rigid, lacking the necessary flexibility for a smooth implementation

Synder has helped me so much. I have it installed on my Shopify for 2 different ecommerce businesses. It syncs so nicely with my Quickbooks online and makes my end of the month bookwork so easy. It categorizes all elements of every sale correclty, so I don't have to second guess it. I honestly don't know what I would do without it.

I've been using Synder for about a year and it's been great! Synder was very helpful with implementation with my bookkeeping team, and they're always very friendly when questions come up. I don't spend much time inside of the platform myself – that's what I pay the bookkeeper for! – but when I do need to use it, the platform is intuitive and has every feature I could possibly think of. This is the only platform that integrates with EVERY sales channel I needed (Faire, Shopify, TikTok, and Etsy) and I'm very grateful for this app and the easy and detailed reports it allows for!

I use this app to sync my orders from Shopify to Quickbooks. It helps me save ton of time and make sure i keep track of my finances. I love it!

Very happy with the onboarding service I received from Tony, looking forward to a seamless integration.

Super helpful for syncing Shopify transactions (and more) along with their pesky merchant transaction fees. Previously, we had to deal with those manually.

Helen was a fantastic customer support agent! 5 stars for all the help. Will recommend her service to anyone.

As a franchisor with multiple franchisees, this app is savings us valuable time. I am also very impressed with their response time when help is needed. Thank you George and keep up the great work Synder!!
