At the end of the year, we exported all of the information from QuickBooks and compared it to the orders in Shopify. Out of 1,629 orders for the 12-month period, 183 of the orders were missing (11%). Of all the orders, several of them were "multiple line item" orders, where the customer purchased two separate items in the same order. For a number of those orders, only the first line item was present, creating yet another accounting clean up. The app does not provide the costs of the transaction for payment processing (i.e. payment processing fees from Stripe, Paypal, Shopify, etc), and at the end of any financial period all of the revenue and fees need to be reconciled. This app restricts the access to income accounts, expense accounts, and balance sheet accounts such that new accounts had to be created in order to be able to comply with the limits. We used this app from 2015 to 2024. Over time, we began to understand the accounting side as well as the issues with the app. From our experience with it, we have not seen any improvement in the Application or the UI since 2015, and this is September of 2024. There is no sense making a product that is not continuously improved. As I have gotten comfortable with the bookeeping side of the business, it has become a growing priority each time we close the books to replace this app. Today, we removed this app from both our Shopify websites. The only good thing I can say about the app is that it does post sales receipts and refund receipts into QuickBooks rather than a journal entry. Many of the apps do the posting in Journal Entries. I did like that sales receipts were sales receipts and refunds were refunds. Overall, I would not recommend the app until Bold makes the necessary improvements in reliability and accuracy. Scott S.

Webgility is a great tool, but it is frustrating for me that it does not post an exchange rate on Foreign Currency transactions. I have spoken with Webgilities technical support about this issue and their position is that QuickBooks should be posting the exchange rate. The outcome of this is that we have to manually change a couple thousand transactions each year that are sold on Amazon in Canada. Each transaction is posted as having a currency exchange rate of one. Last year, we had to take a $60K write down at the end of the year because of this problem with the Webgility integration. Outside of that (significant) issue, it works very well. I do love the feature that transactions can be unposted, settings revised, and reposted. That feature has been pure gold.

Jo Lorenz a support agent at Yotpo assisted my with the integration of our reviews into our shopify theme. He was extremely helpful. The support was excellent!

Good. We wanted to be able to give our customers tiered discounts. This program not only does that but also automates the process.
