Xero

The Amaka team supporting this Xero integration is completely useless. some of our orders were not syncing and i contacted them. They wasted a week asking me which email is connected to the account before they were even willing to look into it although i already sent an email from the same domain. then they ask a bunch of questions over 2 weeks to try to understand why it wasnt syncing. 20 screenshots later, they ask me to book an online call with them 3 weeks out. Ridiculous. I wish someone will book a decent paid app for this sync so I dont have to deal with Amaka's clear incompetency. Such an utter waste of time.

I uninstalled this app from my high volume store due to issues and bad customer service however then discovered it also was not handling inventory transactions correctly so have uninstalled it from this store also. Handling inventory is a basic that should just work without being a rocket scientist. The app just isn't fit for purpose and the 12 hour delayed customer service just isn't good enough. It took me days to fix both stores with the incorrect transactions and we are still trying to reconcile bank accounts. Its not worth the pain!!

It was not the best maybe but was working. Now, - All chart of accounts has to be changed. - Item SKU's still can not be synced. - All transactions go to Xero as paid. If you need to add the item SKU to the invoice, you have to cancel the payment, edit the invoice, save, add payment. For each invoice. This is unacceptable and increases my time spent on accounting almost twice. Additionally, for the integration support I had to 9 days, which is quite long. Unfortunately need to look for a new integrator.

Completely useless if you use basic cash accounting. The old integration worked perfectly - why the change I have no idea but it has now ruined mybooks and I've had to disconnect the app. This new app will only sync data AFTER you have fulfilled an order - NOT when you're paid (which is required for cash accounting principles). This meant that my VAT return was ruined, my bank reconciliation was ruined, and well my entire accounting in xero was ruined. The solution from Amika or whoever runs this integration was to simply mark all my orders as fulfilled... yet anyone with a brain knows that then completely blows up your order management as you have now lost all ability to track which orders are still open and which are still waiting to be shipped. Perfectly fine if you run a business without physical product - completely useless if you run a business with a lead time of even 1 day. Hopefully someone at Shopify reads this and understands how stupid of a change this is.

It sound so simple!! I was already using an app but this one was included with my xero sub so I tried it. Where do I start!! First of all your their response time was terrible and it they only responded in the dead of the night. I mean its a NZ company so have support in our timezone!! Secondly support did not explained what they actually wanted from me!! Thirdly they should have collaborator access to fix these issues with you clearly cannot do!! They clearly don’t understand how business works. Their references should just be the Shopify reference. It doesn’t need to be a string of bullshit and transactions should sync on the day of the transaction immediately like other apps do irrespective of if they are paid or not. They wanted to only sync with the payments so we couldn't track daily sales or activity or make changes or send Xero invoices if needed. If you do a lot of transactions steer clear as the amount of work we had to do to fix this was huge.
