What does Commerce Sync do? (with video)

Commerce Sync automatically transfers your daily sales information from your Point of Sale (POS) system into QuickBooks or Xero, saving you time and eliminating the need for manual data entry.

What Commerce Sync Transfers

Each day, Commerce Sync creates a summarized sales transaction in your accounting software that includes:

  • Taxable sales
  • Non-taxable sales
  • Sales tax
  • Tips
  • Discounts
  • Refunds

ℹ️ Note: The exact information transferred depends on your POS system and Commerce Sync plan.

When Your Data Is Transferred

Commerce Sync imports your previous day's sales each morning.

For example, sales from Monday are automatically transferred early Tuesday morning.

How Sales Appear in Your Accounting Software

Commerce Sync creates a single daily summary invoice (or equivalent transaction, depending on your accounting software) for each day's sales.

On supported plans, Commerce Sync can also transfer sales by category, providing more detailed reporting in QuickBooks or Xero.

How Payments Are Recorded

After creating the daily sales invoice, Commerce Sync records the payments received through your POS system and applies them to the invoice, marking it as paid. This ensures your sales and payment records stay in sync without requiring manual reconciliation.

Exceptions

For Stripe and Authorize.Net integrations, Commerce Sync transfers transaction information only. These integrations do not include:

  • Sales tax
  • Tips
  • Discounts
