Overview
Transform your multi-channel and in-store accounting with Synder's intelligent automation. Eliminate 100+ hours per month of manual bookkeeping by automatically syncing sales, fees, taxes, tips, and payouts from 30+ platforms directly into Xero with precision and reliability.
Perfect for restaurants, cafes and coffee shops, bars and breweries, food trucks and catering — alongside ecommerce businesses, SaaS companies, and the accounting professionals who serve them. Whether your day arrives as one POS total or thousands of online orders, Synder posts it to Xero split the way you actually run the business: by revenue stream, by location, reconciliation-ready.
Synder + Xero
With Synder and Xero working together, you get a streamlined accounting workflow designed to grow with your business. The software provides flexible automation that adapts to your volume, complexity, and reporting needs.
- Multi-channel data sync Sync financial data from Square, Clover, Shopify POS, Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Shopify, Amazon, and more straight to Xero. Synder unifies all your financial data in one reliable source of truth with two powerful sync modes:
Restaurant and POS accounting
Your POS gives you one number a day. Your books need it split. Group your POS categories once — food, drinks, retail, catering, online — and Synder posts each stream to the Xero account you choose, every location, every day. It works down to the line, so a single ticket with a coffee and a pastry lands in two different accounts.
Tips arrive as their own line, so they can post to a tips account, gratuity income, or a payroll liability account, whichever your accountant expects. Gift card sales can be mapped to a liability account rather than income. Set the mapping once and it holds.
Running several sites? Connect all your locations and keep them in one set of books.
Per Transaction Sync: Capture granular details including items (SKUs), customers, taxes, discounts, locations, and tips for businesses requiring detailed transaction visibility
Summary Sync: Post your day as a single entry per location — sales, discounts, refunds, tips and tax already broken out. Built for high-volume operations: coffee shops, quick-service, and any business processing thousands of small tickets a month.
-
Fees & tax tracking Automatically capture and categorize all processing fees, transaction costs, and tax details from every platform. Track Stripe fees, PayPal charges, marketplace commissions, and VAT/sales tax with complete accuracy. Every fee is properly allocated and ready for tax reporting and expense analysis. Tax tracking is available in both Per Transaction and Summary Sync modes.
-
Seamless reconciliation preparation All synced transactions post to clearing accounts, then automatically link to bank feeds when payouts arrive, making reconciliation a seamless process. Synder skips synchronization for duplicated transactions to prevent double entries and maintain data integrity.
-
Xero tracking categories support: Synder supports Xero tracking categories for bills and invoices in Per Transaction sync. Up to two tracking categories can be applied per line, assigned based on invoice line description, item income account, or Shopify tags.
-
Smart product mapping Easily map products, customers, accounts, and Xero tracking categories to ensure accurate sync. Configure mappings once, and Synder will consistently categorize transactions in line with your chart of accounts, giving you reliable, structured data for reporting and reconciliation.
