Sage Business Cloud and Shopify, explained
How does Shopify connect to Sage Business Cloud?
A Sage Business Cloud Shopify integration posts Shopify sales, refunds and gateway payouts to Sage Accounting, either per order or as a daily summary, with VAT, shipping and payment fees in the right accounts.
Sage Business Cloud + Shopify
Per order or daily summary: which suits Sage Business Cloud?
Shopify can send every order the moment it happens, but Sage Accounting is bookkeeping software, not an order system. Stores selling a handful of items a day often post each order as an invoice; busier stores post a daily summary per payment gateway, which reconciles neatly against the PayFast or Peach payout. We set this up with your accountant so month-end matches the bank without manual adjustments.
