sharp wedge preview
for bookkeepers and accountants with one broken Shopify month

find why this Shopify month still will not reconcile

Upload one Shopify payouts export and one Xero or QuickBooks export for the same month. Useful Patch flags payout drift, missing fees, refund mismatches, duplicate journal overlap, and unresolved exceptions before you burn another afternoon closing it by hand.

works on top of your current stack

Keep A2X, Link My Books, Synder, Amaka, Webgility, or spreadsheets. This wedge is for the month that still will not tie.

exception report, not another connector

See the broken rows, the likely causes, and the cleanup path instead of adding another broad sync app.

broken-month rescue

If the month is clean, keep your current stack. If it is broken, buy a rescue pass only for that month.

why this exists

A2X, Link My Books, Synder, Amaka, and Webgility already cover the happy path. This wedge exists for the unhappy path: the client month that still does not close cleanly.

  1. Upload the month instead of reconnecting your whole stack.
  2. See where the leak is: payout drift, fee gaps, refund mismatches, duplicate journals, or unresolved rows.
  3. Decide whether the month is safe, needs cleanup, or needs a paid rescue pass.

useful patch is not trying to replace your existing ecommerce accounting platform on day one.

what the scanner should answer fast

is this month actually broken, and if so, where does the mismatch start?

the single proof asset

free reconciliation leak scanner

  • Input 1: Shopify payouts export for one month
  • Input 2: Xero or QuickBooks export for the same month
  • Optional: fee/refund export for extra detail
  • Output: one leak summary, one mismatch list, one rescue recommendation
what a good result looks like

"£1,842.17 unexplained drift across 3 payout batches, 11 fee rows missing, 2 duplicate journals likely causing the close gap."

who should use this first

bookkeeping firms with Shopify clients

Best first buyer. One firm can reuse the scanner across multiple client months.

accountants inheriting messy periods

Useful when one month still needs forensic cleanup before the close is trusted.

operators who already have a sync tool

Good fit when current tooling posts data but still leaves a painful mismatch to debug manually.
