Failure to reconcile your accounts could result in discrepancies between your Shopify and Xero records, which could lead to financial problems down the road.

Once you’ve exported your transactions to Xero, you’ll need to match them up with your bank statements. To do this, log into your Xero account and go to the “Banking” tab.

Then, find the transaction that you want to match up and click on the “Match” button. On the next page, select the corresponding bank statement line item and click on the “Match” button.

Once you’ve matched up all of your transactions, you’ll need to reconcile your account.

Then, find the bank account that you want to reconcile and click on the “Reconcile” button. On the next page, enter your ending balance and select the date range that you want to reconcile. Then, click on the “Reconcile Now” button.
