Group by Country Feature:

Group by Country Feature

This screen allows you to configure how Shopify sales are grouped by SyncTools for journal creation in QuickBooks. The Default Grouping option categorizes transactions based on the country, ensuring accurate and region-specific financial reporting.

Key Features #

Default Grouping: Group by Country #

  • SyncTools automatically groups Shopify transactions by the registered operating country.
  • In this example, transactions are grouped under United States.

Why Use Grouping by Country? #

  • Automatically segregate sales, refunds, and taxes by country for compliance with regional tax laws (e.g., VAT, GST, Sales Tax).

Benefits for the User #

  • Transactions are automatically categorized by region, reducing manual effort.
  • No need for manual categorization of transactions by country—SyncTools does it for you.

How to Configure #

  • Check the box for Group by Country to enable regional grouping.
  • The selected country (e.g., United States) will determine the grouping criteria.
  • Click Save to apply the configuration.
  • SyncTools will now post Shopify transactions to QuickBooks accounts based on the selected country.

How It Reflects in QuickBooks #

How It Reflects in QuickBooks

 

Example : 

A Shopify store operates in two countries: the United States and the United Kingdom. The store syncs its transactions to QuickBooks using SyncTools, with Group by Country enabled.

In Shopify #

  • US Sales: $5,000 (with $300 in Sales Tax).
  • UK Sales: £4,000 (with £800 in VAT).

In QuickBooks #

  • US transactions are grouped under accounts like SyncTools Shopify Sales – US and SyncTools Shopify Sales Tax – US.
  • UK transactions are grouped under accounts like SyncTools Shopify Sales – UK and SyncTools Shopify VAT – UK.

 

Group by Gateway :

Group by Gateway

Purpose:

  • Allows grouping of transactions based on different payment gateways available in Shopify
  • Helps track sales by payment method

How to Configure:

  • Navigate to Settings > Grouping
  • Under “Default Grouping,” locate “Group by Gateway”
  • Check the checkbox to enable gateway-based grouping
  • Select the payment gateways you want to track:
    • Manual
    • Gift card
    • Apple pay
    • G-pay
    • Shopify payments
    • Bogus (if applicable)

How It Works:

  • Each payment gateway is automatically grouped into its respective category, such as Shopify Payments or Gift Cards.
  • SyncTools maps transactions to separate accounts in QuickBooks for better tracking and reconciliation.

 

Why Use Grouping by Gateway?

  • Payment gateways often charge specific fees (e.g., processing fees). By grouping transactions, these fees are easier to track and reconcile.
  • Provides visibility into how much revenue is generated through each gateway.

How It Reflects in QuickBooks #

When Group by Gateway is enabled in SyncTools, Shopify transactions are mapped and reflected in QuickBooks under clearing accounts for each payment gateway. This setup provides clear visibility into the funds received and pending for each payment method.

Example : 

Shopify Transactions: #

  • Total Sales via Shopify Payments: $3,000
  • Total Sales via Apple Pay: $1,000

In QuickBooks: #

  • Shopify Payments Sales: $3,000 (deposited into Shopify clearing account).
  • Apple Pay Sales: $1,000 (deposited into Apple Pay account).
  • Processing fees for each gateway are recorded separately, simplifying reconciliation.

 

Advanced Grouping: Group by Channel for Sales Transactions

Advanced Grouping: Group by Channel for Sales Transactions

With this option enabled, SyncTools groups sales, refunds, and other transactions based on the specific sales channels used in Shopify. Examples of sales channels include: Facebook & Instagram, Online Store, etc.

With this option enabled

Purpose

  • Enables organization of sales data by specific sales channels in Shopify
  • Provides better visibility into performance across different sales channels.

How to Configure:

  • Navigate to Settings > Grouping
  • Scroll to the “Advanced Grouping” section
  • Locate “Group by Channel”
  • Check the checkbox to enable channel-based grouping

 

How it Works: 

  • Choose the sales channels relevant to your business.
  • Transactions from selected channels are mapped to separate accounts in QuickBooks.
  • Sales from unselected channels won’t sync and must be managed manually.

Why Use Group by Channel?

  • Provides a clear breakdown of revenue by channel.
  • Each channel is mapped to its own account in QuickBooks, ensuring clean and structured financial reporting.

How it Reflects in QuickBooks

How it Reflects in QuickBooks

  • Online Store: $10,000

  • Point of Sale (POS): $3,000

In QuickBooks: #

  • SyncTools Online Store Sales: $10,000
  • SyncTools Facebook & Instagram Sales: $4,000
  • SyncTools POS Sales: $3,000
