Connecting Shopify to Exact Online
A custom-built integration between Shopify and Exact Online.
Off-the-shelf connectors between Shopify and Exact Online exist. They get most of it right and one thing wrong, and that one thing is why you are here. We build the integration that does what your administration actually needs.
What moves between Shopify and Exact Online
Orders become invoices
Every paid order lands as a sales invoice with the right ledger account, VAT code and customer details. No more monthly export run.
Returns and credit notes
A return in the shop becomes a credit note in the books, linked to the original invoice, so revenue adds up without manual digging.
Customers and products in sync
New customers and products get created instead of duplicated, and existing records are updated by email or product code.
Payments reconciled
Incoming money is matched against the open invoice, including partial payments and transaction fees, so your receivables list stays empty.
Why the standard connector does not cut it for you
Shopify is built to sell, not to keep books. Discounts, gift cards, shipping rules and multiple currencies all come out slightly differently than an accounting package expects, and off-the-shelf connectors pick an assumption there that is often not yours.
Exact Online only accepts bookings that add up: an existing ledger account, a valid VAT code, a relation that already exists or gets created properly. One missing field and the whole batch stalls, so the integration has to validate before it sends.
Frequently asked questions
- Can Shopify not just be connected to Exact Online out of the box?
- Often it can, for the average case. Off-the-shelf connectors assume an average administration. The moment you have non-standard VAT treatment, your own ledger structure, several sales channels or your own product codes, you hit the edges. We build the missing part, not the whole package again.
- What does an integration like this cost?
- A single integration that handles one flow properly usually lands under 10,000 euro. Multiple flows, both directions, exceptions per channel, and it moves up. We name the number before we start, not afterwards.
- How long does it take?
- Weeks, not quarters. We start with the flow that removes the most manual work, put it live, and extend from there. You do not have to wait for everything to be finished before it is useful.
- Who owns the integration when it is done?
- You do. Your code, your data, your integration. No monthly licence on something we built for you, and no lock-in if you want something else later.
