Eight sales channels into Xero or QuickBooks Online is the Link My Books footprint. Synder connects 30+ sales channels and payment processors and posts into QuickBooks Online, QuickBooks Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite, Intuit Enterprise Suite, and Puzzle.
Synder offers Per Transaction sync, which brings in full detail for each transaction, and Summary Sync, which posts one aggregated entry per connected platform for a daily, monthly, per-payout, or custom period. Link My Books posts summarized settlement entries and nothing more granular.
In Balance Reconciliation, you reconcile summaries inside Synder against your platforms before posting to your GL. Transaction Transaction Reconciliation matches each sale, fee, and refund in a clearing account to your bank feed, flagging discrepancies. Link My Books matches only summary entries to bank deposits after they post inside Xero or QuickBooks.
Link My Books categorizes through preset tax and COGS logic, with no custom criteria to shape how entries land. Synder lets you build rules that classify transactions on criteria you define, including QuickBooks classes and locations, and keeps ASC 606- and IFRS 15-compliant revenue schedules across your accounting platform.
Link My Books is suitable for sellers using a few marketplaces with Xero or QuickBooks Online and summary-level reconciliation. Synder fits more complex setups with multiple channels, payment processors like Stripe or PayPal, transaction-level detail, or revenue recognition.
