Xero and Amazon, explained
How does Amazon connect to Xero?
A Xero Amazon integration splits each Amazon.co.za settlement into sales, refunds, referral and FBA fees, posts them to Xero with the right tax rates, and reconciles the payout through an Amazon clearing account.
Xero + Amazon
What is the cleanest way to get Amazon into Xero?
Xero works best with fewer, well-structured transactions, and Amazon produces thousands of small ones. Posting by settlement, with lines for sales, refunds and each fee type, keeps Xero tidy and well inside its API limits. The Amazon clearing account then works like a bank account in Xero: settlements go in, payouts come out, and the balance tells you what Amazon still owes.
