XERO SYNC by Bold
Bold Apps is a well-established developer with over a dozen available for Shopify merchants – most of which are extremely well-reviewed.
This one seems to have missed out on the positive reviews to date but we include it in this accounting app review as it is one of the few Xero-focused apps with a free version.
It can help you get to grips with tax and may be a great option for businesses starting out to consider. A lot of the criticism of the app occurred in its early days and many of the problems appear to have been ironed out.
