Curation Records review for QuickBooks/Xero sync ‑ Synder

Nov. 20, 2020

As our business grew, we found that we needed to move all of our books from a manual method to Quickbooks Online. We reviewed a few products and Synder looked like the one we wanted to try. First off let me say that I went into the usage of the app expecting something easy. And by that I mean, install, it goes, it's done. This app is not "easy" but when you think about it you're connecting Shopify to Quickbooks.. and cross populating a LOT of fields. It's not going to be plug and play. No app is. This will take some time to get set properly, there ARE questions you need to answer and things you need to know about how your books process. That's not an unreasonable request, and I think if you connect Shopify to Quickbooks, and you're not an accountant, you should expect it's gonna take you some time. That being said.... We were able to import an entire year's transactions from shopify into quickbooks. We get payments from shopify and paypal. We also get payments in multiple currencies. Synder was able to handle all of that. It works in the background now because it is set up properly. It works. NOW... here's the gotchas. This is my fault, not Synders. I bought the app, and pre-paid for credits. I clicked through really fast and imported everything... and realized I did it wrong. I just wasted all my pre-paid credits. This would be fine if it was a week of data. But I pulled 12 months in. My credits were gone. This all of a sudden became a very expensive project. I called support and explained the situation. 100% my fault, I'm a dummy, I set it up wrong, I screwed it up. They were kind enough to give me back a good percentage of credits. They didn't have to do that. I have placed a LOT of support calls. Support is online, via chat. They are responsive, fast, accurate, and solve the issues for me. Honestly, it's a really good app. My only warning, as I said... if you are linking shopify to ANY quickbooks account.... don't get an app and just click install and run, thinking it's going to be easy and solve your problems. It's not. No app will do that. It's customizable on purpose. But once you do it.... you're set. A great app. Take the time to do it right. I should also add that the support team has called me to check on me, and most recently Darya called to make sure everything was working properly from my support tickets I've sent in, and for a status and review if I had any feedback on stuff, so they could make the product better. Thank you for checking on us Darya!
