Learn sync modes, essential settings, product mapping, and troubleshooting for automated e-commerce bookkeeping.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Guide Covers<\/h2>\n<p>This guide walks you through everything you need to know about using Synder with Shopify and QuickBooks Online. It&#8217;s written for solo Shopify sellers who handle their own bookkeeping \u2014 no accounting degree required.<\/p>\n<p>By the end, you&#8217;ll know how to:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Connect Shopify to Synder correctly<\/li>\n<li>Choose the right sync mode for your business<\/li>\n<li>Configure settings so transactions land in the right accounts<\/li>\n<li>Map your products for accurate revenue tracking<\/li>\n<li>Reconcile your books with confidence<\/li>\n<li>Fix the most common issues yourself<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Time to set up: About 15\u201320 minutes for initial configuration.<\/p>\n<h2>Before You Start: Prerequisites<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure you have these ready:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Shopify store with at least a few orders processed<\/li>\n<li>A QuickBooks Online account (any plan)<\/li>\n<li>A Synder account \u2014 <a href=\"https:\/\/synder.com\">sign up at synder.com<\/a> if you don&#8217;t have one<\/li>\n<li>All payment gateways identified \u2014 know how your customers pay (Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal, etc.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Critical Rule: Connect ALL Your Payment Gateways<\/h3>\n<p>This is the #1 mistake new users make. If your Shopify store accepts payments through Shopify Payments and PayPal and Stripe, you must connect all three to Synder.<\/p>\n<p>Why? Synder pulls order details (items, tax, shipping) from Shopify, but it pulls fee and payout data from each payment gateway. If a gateway isn&#8217;t connected, those transactions will be incomplete or missing entirely.<\/p>\n<h2>Connecting Shopify to Synder<\/h2>\n<h3>Step-by-Step Connection<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Step 1: Start the connection<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Log into Synder at <a href=\"https:\/\/go.synder.com\">go.synder.com<\/a><\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re new: the onboarding wizard will prompt you to connect a platform<\/li>\n<li>If you&#8217;re adding Shopify to an existing organization: go to <strong>Settings \u2192 Integrations \u2192 + Add Integration<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Step 2: Select Shopify<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Find Shopify in the platform list and click Connect<\/li>\n<li>You&#8217;ll be redirected to Shopify&#8217;s authorization page<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Step 3: Authorize the connection<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Log into your Shopify account if prompted<\/li>\n<li>Important: If you have multiple Shopify stores, double-check you&#8217;re connecting the correct one<\/li>\n<li>Click Install App to grant Synder access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Step 4: Verify the connection<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Back in Synder, you should see Shopify listed under your integrations<\/li>\n<li>Shopify Payments (if you use it) will automatically connect alongside your Shopify store<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Step 5: Connect additional payment gateways<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If you also accept PayPal, Stripe, or other gateways, connect each one separately through Settings \u2192 Integrations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>What Happens After Connection<\/h3>\n<p>Synder will begin pulling your historical data. Depending on your order volume, this can take a few minutes to several hours. You&#8217;ll see transactions appear in the Transactions tab with a &#8220;Ready to sync&#8221; status.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Important:<\/strong> Don&#8217;t sync anything yet! Choose your sync mode and configure your settings first.<\/p>\n<h2>Choosing Your Sync Mode<\/h2>\n<p>This is one of the most important decisions you&#8217;ll make. Synder offers two main ways to record your Shopify sales in QuickBooks Online. The right choice depends on <strong>how much detail you need<\/strong> and <strong>how many orders you process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3>Per-Transaction Sync<\/h3>\n<p><strong>What it does:<\/strong> Creates one entry in QuickBooks Online for every individual sale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Businesses that need granular, per-order detail in their books<\/li>\n<li>Sellers who need to match specific orders to specific customers<\/li>\n<li>Stores with moderate transaction volume (under ~50\/day)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>What gets created in QuickBooks Online:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Customer order \u2192 Sales Receipt or Invoice + Payment<\/li>\n<li>Refund \u2192 Refund Receipt<\/li>\n<li>Payout \u2192 Transfer (clearing \u2192 bank)<\/li>\n<li>Fee \u2192 Expense<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pros: Full visibility into every transaction. Easy to trace any order.<br \/>\nCons: Can clutter your books if you have high volume.<\/p>\n<h3>Daily Summary Sync<\/h3>\n<p><strong>What it does:<\/strong> Rolls up all transactions for a day (or per payout) into a single Journal Entry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best for:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Businesses that prioritize clean, simple books over per-order detail<\/li>\n<li>High-volume stores (50+ transactions per day)<\/li>\n<li>Sellers who don&#8217;t need to trace individual orders in QuickBooks Online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pros: Clean books. Fewer entries. Faster reconciliation.<br \/>\nCons: Can&#8217;t trace individual orders in QuickBooks Online.<\/p>\n<h3>Per-Payout Summary (Shopify Payments only)<\/h3>\n<p>If you use Shopify Payments, you can also choose Per-Payout Summary, which groups transactions by payout cycle instead of calendar day. This makes reconciliation easier since each summary maps to one bank deposit.<\/p>\n<h3>How to Choose<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Need per-order detail, moderate volume<\/strong> \u2192 Per Transaction<\/li>\n<li><strong>Want simplicity, high volume<\/strong> \u2192 Daily Summary<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use Shopify Payments, want easy bank matching<\/strong> \u2192 Per-Payout Summary<\/li>\n<li><strong>Not sure yet<\/strong> \u2192 Start with Per Transaction \u2014 you can switch later<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Where to set it:<\/strong> Settings \u2192 Shopify \u2192 General \u2192 Sync Mode<\/p>\n<h2>Essential Settings<\/h2>\n<p>Before you sync your first transaction, configure these settings. This takes about 5 minutes and prevents 90% of common errors.<\/p>\n<p>Navigate to: <strong>Settings \u2192 Shopify<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For detailed configuration instructions for each setting (income account, clearing account, fees, product mapping, and taxes), see <a href=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/synder-settings-checklist-first-sync\/\">Configure Synder Before Your First Sync<\/a>. That guide covers every setting in depth.<\/p>\n<p>Here are the Shopify-specific settings to pay attention to:<\/p>\n<h3>Shopify-Specific Settings<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Time Zone<\/strong> (Settings \u2192 Shopify \u2192 General) \u2014 Match this to your Shopify time zone to avoid date mismatches<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manual Orders<\/strong> (Settings \u2192 Shopify \u2192 General) \u2014 Enable to sync orders paid outside Shopify<\/li>\n<li><strong>POS Orders<\/strong> (Settings \u2192 Shopify \u2192 General) \u2014 Enable to sync in-person sales from Shopify POS<\/li>\n<li><strong>Other Orders<\/strong> (Settings \u2192 Shopify \u2192 General) \u2014 Enable to sync orders from unsupported payment gateways<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Product and Inventory Mapping<\/h2>\n<h3>Basic Product Mapping<\/h3>\n<p>When Synder encounters a Shopify product it hasn&#8217;t seen before, it can either:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Create a new product in QuickBooks Online automatically, or<\/li>\n<li>Map it to an existing product in QuickBooks Online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Options:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Auto-create products<\/strong> \u2014 Synder creates matching products in QuickBooks Online using the Shopify product name and SKU. Best for stores with many products.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Use a generic product<\/strong> \u2014 All sales map to a single &#8220;Shopify Sale&#8221; product. Simplest, but less granular.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Manual mapping<\/strong> \u2014 You map each Shopify product to a specific QuickBooks Online product\/service. Most control, but more setup work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Inventory Tracking (COGS and Quantity)<\/h3>\n<p>Synder supports inventory tracking:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Quantity on Hand:<\/strong> Updates automatically when orders are synced. Important: This is one-way only (Shopify \u2192 accounting software). Inventory changes made directly in QuickBooks Online\/Xero will not sync back to Shopify, and manual Shopify adjustments are not reflected in your books.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost of Goods Sold (COGS):<\/strong> Tracked if inventory items are set up in QuickBooks Online.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Important limitations:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Synder updates QuickBooks Online inventory based on sales and refunds only<\/li>\n<li>Manual inventory adjustments in Shopify are NOT synced<\/li>\n<li>Inventory sync goes one way: Shopify \u2192 QuickBooks Online (not back)<\/li>\n<li>Bundles and assemblies are available on the Pro plan only<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Tip: Set up your products and inventory before syncing historical transactions to prevent quantity mismatches.<\/p>\n<h2>How Synder Handles Shopify Transactions<\/h2>\n<h3>Sales<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Standard order (Shopify Payments) \u2192 Sales Receipt or Invoice + Payment (includes items, tax, shipping, discounts)<\/li>\n<li>Manual order \u2192 Sales Receipt or Invoice + Payment (goes to Manual Orders clearing account)<\/li>\n<li>POS order \u2192 Sales Receipt or Invoice + Payment (goes to POS Orders clearing account)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Refunds<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Full refund \u2192 Refund Receipt (reverses the original sale)<\/li>\n<li>Partial refund (items) \u2192 Refund Receipt (only the refunded items\/amounts)<\/li>\n<li>Partial refund (amount) \u2192 Refund Receipt (dollar amount without specific items)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Payouts and Fees<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Payout \u2192 Transfer (from clearing account to your bank)<\/li>\n<li>Processing fee \u2192 Expense (Shopify&#8217;s payment processing fees)<\/li>\n<li>Chargeback\/dispute \u2192 Expense (disputed amount + chargeback fee)<\/li>\n<li>Shipping label \u2192 Expense (cost of Shopify shipping labels)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>When Do Transactions Sync?<\/h3>\n<p>Synder imports your Shopify transactions <strong>as soon as they appear in Shopify<\/strong>. You don&#8217;t need to wait for a payout for a transaction to sync.<\/p>\n<h2>Special Order Types<\/h2>\n<h3>Manual Orders<\/h3>\n<p>Orders where the customer pays outside of Shopify (cash, check, bank transfer).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Must enable Manual Orders in settings<\/li>\n<li>Sync to a dedicated &#8220;Shopify Manual Orders&#8221; clearing account<\/li>\n<li>Not included in Shopify payouts \u2014 you must manually reconcile these<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Reconciliation: Confirm you received the external payment \u2192 manually create a Transfer in QuickBooks Online from the Manual Orders clearing account to your bank account.<\/p>\n<h3>POS Orders<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Must enable POS Orders in settings<\/li>\n<li>Sync to a dedicated &#8220;Shopify POS Orders&#8221; clearing account<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Other Orders<\/h3>\n<p>Orders paid through unsupported gateways (e.g., Klarna, Afterpay).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Must enable Other Orders in settings<\/li>\n<li>Shopify doesn&#8217;t provide fee or payout data for these gateways<\/li>\n<li>Reconcile using the external gateway&#8217;s own reports<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Gift Cards and Discounts<\/h2>\n<h3>Gift Cards<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Gift card purchased as a product:<\/strong> Synced like a normal sale.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Gift card used as payment:<\/strong> The gift card portion reduces the order total. Only the remaining balance flows through the payment gateway.<\/p>\n<p>Known quirk: Gift cards are synced as line items. You may see discrepancies when reconciling against Shopify&#8217;s &#8220;Net payments by order&#8221; report. Filter them out using the &#8220;Payment gateway&#8221; column.<\/p>\n<h3>Discounts<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Coupon\/discount code discounts \u2014 recorded with the discount name<\/li>\n<li>Automatic discounts \u2014 recorded as applied<\/li>\n<li>Line-item discounts \u2014 applied to the specific product line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Shop Cash (Shopify Balance Rewards)<\/h2>\n<p>If your customers use Shop Cash (rewards earned through Shopify&#8217;s Shop app), be aware that these transactions require special handling:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shop Cash is a separate payment method \u2014 it does not flow through Shopify Payments or your other gateways. If you don&#8217;t configure it, these transactions may appear as &#8220;missing.&#8221;<\/li>\n<li><strong>Setup:<\/strong> In Synder, go to Settings \u2192 Shopify \u2192 &#8220;Create Additional Settings&#8221; \u2192 add Shop Cash as a payment method.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reconciliation impact:<\/strong> Shop Cash payouts arrive on a different schedule than Shopify Payments. Track them separately in your clearing accounts.<\/li>\n<li>Common issue: If Shop Cash transactions are missing from Synder, it&#8217;s almost always because the additional payment method wasn&#8217;t configured. This is not a bug \u2014 it&#8217;s a setup step.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Reconciliation: Making Your Books Match<\/h2>\n<h3>Per-Transaction Reconciliation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Get your Shopify report: Go to Analytics \u2192 Reports \u2192 &#8220;Net payments by order&#8221; \u2192 Export CSV<\/li>\n<li>Verify data in QuickBooks Online: Each order should appear as a Sales Receipt or Invoice + Payment<\/li>\n<li>Match payouts to bank deposits: In QuickBooks Online, go to Banking \u2192 For Review<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Daily Summary Reconciliation<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Use Shopify&#8217;s Finances Summary for the period<\/li>\n<li>Check that each Daily Summary shows as &#8220;Fully Fetched&#8221; in Synder<\/li>\n<li>Match Journal Entry totals with the Finances Summary<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Multi-Gateway Reconciliation<\/h3>\n<p>If customers pay through multiple gateways:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Synder creates separate clearing accounts per payment method<\/li>\n<li>Compare each clearing account only to the matching gateway&#8217;s transactions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Monthly Reconciliation Checklist<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>All transactions synced (no &#8220;Ready to sync&#8221; or &#8220;Pending&#8221; items)<\/li>\n<li>All Daily Summaries show &#8220;Fully Fetched&#8221; (if using summary mode)<\/li>\n<li>Clearing account balances match gateway reports<\/li>\n<li>Payouts\/Transfers match bank deposits<\/li>\n<li>Refunds are accounted for<\/li>\n<li>Manual\/POS\/Other orders are reconciled separately<\/li>\n<li>No &#8220;Uncategorized&#8221; transactions in QuickBooks Online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Troubleshooting Common Shopify Issues<\/h2>\n<h3>&#8220;My recent Shopify orders aren&#8217;t showing in Synder&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Synder syncs transactions only after the payout occurs (1\u20133 business days).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Wait for the payout.
