Software & comparisons
Choose Shopify accounting software, compare integration features and pricing, and see how Vatteo fits your QuickBooks or Xero workflow.
Payouts & reconciliation
Explain every Shopify deposit from gross sales through refunds, fees, adjustments, clearing, and the final bank match.
Accounting setup
Connect Shopify to QuickBooks or Xero, map the accounts, and prevent overlapping integrations from duplicating activity.
Month-end close
Close Shopify with complete payout coverage, correct cut-off, reviewed journals, matched cash, and documented exceptions.
Tax & VAT
Keep Shopify tax liabilities separate from sales and cash while reconciling US sales tax or UK VAT in QuickBooks.
COGS & profitability
Record product costs and liabilities correctly so Shopify gross profit is based on economic activity rather than net deposits.
