What Is Synder?
Running an online store is thrilling until the books hit your desk. Every payout from Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, and PayPal lands with different fees, currencies, and tax rules. Synder steps in as an automation layer that pipes that clutter straight into QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite, or Sage Intacct while keeping everything tidy for reconciliation.
You connect your sales channels once, choose how much detail you want, and Synder quietly syncs sales, refunds, fees, and even inventory data in the background. The platform has earned a reputation as the accounting automation tool that finally makes multichannel e-commerce bookkeeping painless. Over 20,000 businesses trust Synder to keep their ledgers clean and their accountants happy.

Key Features Explained
Seamless Integrations
With connections to over 30 platforms—including Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Stripe, PayPal, Square, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, and more—Synder lets multichannel sellers keep one source of truth. Two integration slots come with the Basic plan, and you can add more as you scale. Each connector is maintained by Synder's team, so platform API changes don't break your sync.
Dual Sync Modes
Not every accountant wants thousands of tiny records. Synder offers Per Transaction Sync for line-level detail (every order becomes a sales receipt) and Summary Sync for a single daily journal entry that aggregates all transactions. You pick the mode per organization, and swaps are easy. Hourly or fully-fetched schedules keep your ledgers updated automatically.
Summary Sync is particularly valuable for high-volume sellers. Instead of 500 individual receipts cluttering your books, you get one clean journal entry per day per channel. Your accountant sees the totals; the detail lives in Synder if you ever need to drill down.
Smart Rules Automation
Smart Rules are Synder's "if-this-then-that" engine. You can auto-tag Amazon fees to an Expense account, assign California sales the proper tax code, or trigger thank-you emails after a Stripe payment. Rules update transactions almost instantly after sync. This feature eliminates the repetitive categorization work that eats hours every month-end.

AI Dashboards
AI Dashboards let you ask plain-English questions like "Show me total sales by channel last quarter" and get charts or numbers on the spot. The natural-language layer sits on Synder's register, so data never leaves your account. Currently in open beta for all Summary Sync users at no extra cost. For deeper product analytics, pair with Amplitude.
Payout & Reconciliation Engine
Synder's Payout feature posts deposits and processor fees to the correct clearing and bank accounts so the Banking tab in QuickBooks lights up with instant matches. One click later, the month is reconciled. This single feature can save bookkeepers hours of manual matching.
Historical Data Import
Just discovered Synder after years of messy books? No problem. The platform can import years of historical transactions and reconcile them retroactively. Some businesses have imported over 100,000 historical records to finally close their books properly.
Real-World Use Cases
Multichannel Retailers
Brands selling on Shopify, Amazon, and Etsy simultaneously use Synder to consolidate all sales data into one accounting system with proper revenue recognition and fee tracking.
Subscription Businesses
SaaS companies using Stripe sync subscription payments, handling recurring revenue recognition, upgrades, downgrades, and refunds automatically.
Accountants & Bookkeepers
Accounting firms use Synder across multiple clients, dramatically reducing the time spent on e-commerce reconciliation. The platform's multi-org support makes client management straightforward.
