Synder, step by step
Start the free trial
Sign up for the 15-day trial without a card and connect your accounting ledger, such as QuickBooks Online or Xero.
Connect sales channels
Link Stripe, Shopify, PayPal, Square, Amazon or other platforms using their own login screens.
Map accounts and choose a sync mode
Set where sales, fees, taxes and refunds land in your chart of accounts, and pick per-transaction detail or a daily summary journal entry.
Import history and reconcile
Bring in past transactions if needed, then check that synced deposits match your bank feed before turning on automatic sync.
Pick a plan before the trial ends
Count your monthly sales transactions and choose a plan that covers them, since payments are non-refundable.

Synder says it serves more than 5,000 businesses and is SOC 2 Type 2 certified.

Synder pricing explained
Synder prices by how many sales transactions you sync each month. Billed yearly, Basic is $52 a month for up to 500 sales transactions, Essential starts at $103 (1,000 included), Pro at $240 (10,000 included) and Pro Max at $480 (20,000 included). Billed monthly, those are $65, $129, $299 and $599. Premium is quoted. Higher-volume pricing within each plan is set to your volume, and extra transactions are billed separately.
Every transaction except processing fees counts toward your balance, so a refund or payout can use a sync too. Count a typical month across all your channels before you pick a plan.
How Synder works
Synder connects to your payment processors and stores, pulls each sale, fee, tax, discount and refund, and posts them into your ledger. You choose Per Transaction mode, which records each sale in detail, or Summary Sync, which posts one clean journal entry per day. Because fees are recorded separately from gross sales, the net payout matches the deposit in your bank feed.
Synder also imports historical data, handles multiple currencies, and can sync product prices, costs and quantities if your channels provide them. It supports QuickBooks Online and Desktop, Xero, Sage Intacct, NetSuite and Intuit Enterprise Suite.
What customers say about Synder
Recurring themes across the review sites and complaint records listed above, not individual quotes.
Common praise
- Saves hours of manual entry for Stripe, PayPal and Shopify sales
- Responsive, knowledgeable support staff
- Handles multiple currencies and many sales channels
Common complaints
- Price increases and automatic renewals customers did not expect
- No refunds, even when a needed integration does not work

Synder reviews and complaints
Most reviews are positive and praise the time saved syncing Stripe, PayPal and Shopify into QuickBooks and the support staff by name. The negative ones cluster around billing: price increases, renewals customers did not expect, and the no-refund policy. A few reviewers report integrations that did not work for their setup and long troubleshooting.
Note the support tiers. On Basic, support is by email in a standard queue that Synder says can take more than two weeks to begin investigating complex cases. Higher plans add phone and chat and a priority lane.
Refunds and canceling
Synder’s terms say all purchases are final, non-cancelable and non-refundable except where the law requires otherwise, and its pricing FAQ repeats that. Subscriptions keep billing until you cancel. Because a yearly plan cannot be refunded, test your exact channels and ledger during the free 15-day trial and consider paying monthly for the first few months.
What access you give Synder
Synder needs permission to read your payment and store data and to write entries to your books. Grant access through each platform’s own login and approval screen, give staff accounts only the roles they need, and remove Synder’s access in Stripe, Shopify and your ledger if you stop using it. Review synced entries for the first month before relying on them for tax filings.
Alternatives to Synder
- A2X Often cheaper for one or two marketplaces (Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay) because it prices per channel and posts payout summaries.
- Your accounting software's built-in integrations If you have low volume on one channel, the native app or bank feed in QuickBooks or Xero plus a monthly journal entry may be enough.
- A bookkeeper Better if you need someone to own the monthly close; many bookkeepers already use Synder or A2X and get partner discounts.
