Tangled Yarn review for Xero
March 16, 2023
Whilst I love Xero for my accounts, how it integrates with Shopify leaves much to be desired. If you use multiple currencies and have PayPal set up as one of your payment gateways, I would be cautious about using the Shopify Integration App for Xero. In simple terms, it doesn't work. It creates so much more work. And has left me having to deal with far-reaching issues. Xero customer service is okay, they try to help, but their suggestions make using the integration app a waste of time and money. I have been using the integration app for a year, and the initial setup was a minefield. Just, when I'd got my accounts in order, the multiple currencies issue, raised its ugly head. Before using the Xero integration, I was using Carry the One, I'm wishing now I could switch back, but first I need to get my accounts in order before my end-of-year audit. Disappointed this app had so much promise :( ------- Thank you for your response. I have been talking to support, but this was different from their response to my enquiry. It would be good to have a help page for this situation, as I know I won't be the only one struggling to reconcile multi-currency PayPal feeds. Additionally, I think it prudent to include in your app description want it can and more importantly want it can't do. It would save people a lot of time.
Thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear about your experience using the integration. As you have noted, the integration isn't currently set up to handle multiple currencies. We do however, support customers to reconcile their PayPal payouts through the use of a clearing account.
