You will also be able to modify transactions prior to posting according to your preference, so it’s a highly flexible solution.
• Setting to sync Stripe payments as deposits. This feature has been highly requested by businesses who may receive funds for providing a service before an invoice is created in books. If set up this way, Synder will create a deposit debiting the Stripe Clearing account and crediting Accounts Receivable. Thus, you will be able to receive payment for future invoice with the help of this deposit later on.
• Walmart, Bigcommerce and eBay: sync sales as invoices. Most ecommerce businesses prefer to synchronize their sales transactions as invoices rather than sales receipts. Because of the way some platforms communicate with 3d-party apps, we’ve posted all sales as receipts before, but now our Walmart, Bigcommerce and eBay users can choose to sync sales as invoices.

Affirm Integration Improvement

• Synder can now process and synchronize flat transaction fee from Affirm.

Firm Workspace, new sync settings for Stripe integration and more

However, business flows vary, as do bookkeeping processes, so our Stripe users can now opt to skip the synchronization of such zero invoices from Stripe.
• Synder Settings: Invoice configurations moved to another tab. All invoice-related settings have now moved from the General tab to the Invoices tab.

Group tax synchronization for QuickBooks Desktop and more

• RevRec: recognition of valid transactions only. Voided and uncollectible invoices shouldn’t be a part of the revenue recognition, as they never get paid. Thus, we’ve improved the logic of identifying transactions that should and should not be included in the recognition process.
• Shopify integration: Shop Cash payments synchronization. Sometimes, Shop Cash may be used by your clients to partially pay for a certain order. Synder used to record such payments as deposits, which may not be a preferred way for most accounting flows. However, as per user requests, this flow has been change.  Now you’ll see your Shopify Order invoice in books closed by two partial payments, one of them being the Shop Cash transaction.
• QuickBooks Desktop: group tax synchronization. Synder can now properly identify and synchronize all portions of group taxes to your books instead of specifying the total tax amount. No more manual adjustments required.

• We've made regular improvements to Synder's stability and addressed various bugs.

• Shopify transactions import improvements. A few issues were fixed for the Shopify integration, and now the import process should work even more smoothly.
• Ecommerce platforms: integration improvement. It’s quite common that our users have eCommerce platforms linked with various payment gateways and would like to account for all amounts, fees and order details coming through to their books. Synder can do it really well, but there have been a few minor issues with BigCommerce & Stripe, as well as PayPal. We’ve fixed them to cover some edge cases as per our users’ requests.

• Amazon SAFE-T transactions processing. As an Amazon seller, you may sometimes need to file a SAFE-T claim (Seller Assurance For E-commerce Transactions), and of course this kind of a reimbursement should be posted to your books accurately. Sydner can now do that - check it out!
• Improved subscription invoices notifications. It hasn’t always been easy to identify which Synder subscription invoice relates to which of your organizations (if you’re managing more than one business with our app, of course). But now it is. You’ll be receiving emails with detailed information about the client/business subscribed to the Synder services, so you will be able to manage their (and your!)  bookkeeping way easier now.
• eBay integration improvements. We’ve made the work of this integration more stable and efficient. Also, Synder can now identify and process eBay loan repayments, accurately posting those amounts to your books.

Consistency and Transparency in  Reconciliation

• Daily Summary: Enhanced Totals Calculation. We are thrilled to introduce an enhanced total calculation and reconciliation feature, designed to provide accountants with a clearer understanding of our calculation methods. With this update, we have standardized total calculations across all integrations, ensuring consistency. Additionally, we have implemented a convenient CSV file that lists per transaction totals, which can be downloaded and used for reconciliation purposes. The file includes different data based on the platform, along with calculated sums and optional net values.
• Improved Stability for Our App. Over the past month, we have focused on enhancing the stability of our app. Through rigorous testing and optimizations, we have worked diligently to ensure a more reliable and seamless user experience.

Previously, if you generated a report in Business Insights (ex Sales Analytics), you couldn’t keep working with the rest of the Synder’s functionality until the report was fully generated. Now, this process is going on in the background and doesn't stand in the way of checking the rest of Synder's features.

Exciting improvements for the Daily Summary sync mode

• Daily Summary: multicurrency sync. A lot of improvements have been made to the Daily Summary sync mode. One of them is the ability to synchronize your transactions in multiple currencies for various multicurrency setups. This means that reconciling books for the users who receive payouts to several bank accounts in several currencies becomes more automated and time-saving.
• Daily Summary: mapping by country/region. Now you can group summaries not only by product/SKU but also by county and/or region and map them to the needed accounts. This allows for easy tracking of how much you’ve sold in various locations and can also be useful for understanding what to expect in terms of tax return.
• Daily Summary: mapping by classes. It’s been highly requested to break down daily summary batches by classes. It is now possible with Synder’s Daily Summary sync mode, so you will get even more detailed reporting.
• Per transaction: sync discounts as products. Normally, discounts should be posted to a Discounts given account in your books, however, quite a number of users asked if we could allow them to sync discounts as products for more flexibility in terms of the Profit&Loss report.

• Amazon connection issues have been fixed and other minor improvements introduced.

Smart Rules improvements, interface changes & better COGS functionality for Daily Summary

• Settings moved.  Our existing users will notice that the Settings look differently now. Clicking on the gear icon, one will find only the sync settings - a place to configure the synchronization flow for each connected platform. However, to manage connections, subscription details, users, etc., one needs to go to the My account tab in the top-right corner of the page.
• Some texts on the interface changed as well. In order to make our Platform transactions page more user-friendly, we renamed the green Sync button: it is now called Actions as it contains the list of all actions one can perform with transactions on the page.

One of our users reported that Synder did not account for a line product in QuickBooks if the amount of the line with this product was 0 in the PayPal transaction. This was crucial for correct COGS accounting. We’ve fixed this issue, and now all records in our users’ books should contain all lines even if the line amount equals zero.
• Several improvements for Smart Rules functionality. Some of the smart rules logic needed fixing and improving, so we’ve done that and stabilized the work of this functionality.

If you’re using Tags when creating a Shopify order, Synder will make sure the Tag details will be imported to QuickBooks into the Memo field of your transaction. Even more good news: these details can be further used to build any categorization rule if needed, using the Private note field in the Synder Smart Rule builder.

  Tip: for those who want to have data synced only once everything is ready - a special sync when fully fetched mode now available.

• Fixed issue Failed Application fee refunds from Stripe for Xero users. One of our users had an issue with failing Stripe application fee refund transactions (very rare ones). After investigation, the team found out a way to properly record them to Xero, so now the synchronization of Stripe application fee refunds works seamlessly with Synder!

• Improvements for BigCommerce: The team has enabled smart reconciliation for Stripe and PayPal, and more integrations are on the way. Connect BigCommerce alongside your payment providers to get the complete data about each order without duplicates!
