Shopify Payments has no Xero bank feed. Import the payout report as one.

Xero has no native bank feed for the Shopify Payments balance. Sales-sync apps post daily summary invoices to a clearing account, and your bank feed only ever sees the net deposit. StatementClear lets you review the statement, then send eligible lines to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year; older history uses CSV.

Every Shopify payout lands in your bank feed as a single net figure, while the charges, refunds, adjustments and fees that produced it sit in a payout report Xero never sees. Reconciling means downloading that report and picking the deposit apart by hand, every month. StatementClear lets you review the statement, then send eligible lines to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year; older history uses CSV.

Why there is no feed for your Shopify Payments balance

Xero does not currently offer a native bank feed for the Shopify Payments balance. Sales-sync integrations post daily summary invoices into a clearing account, and your bank feed only ever sees the net deposit - the charges, refunds, adjustments and fees inside each payout never land in Xero as feed lines.

Shopify's payout export types every line - charge, refund, adjustment, dispute - with gross, fee and net columns per row, and two quirks bite on import: fees are stored as positive numbers (net equals amount minus fee), and refund rows show a zero fee because Shopify does not return the processing fee when you refund. Stores selling in more than one currency get separate payout streams per currency, each needing its own account in Xero. There is no running balance anywhere in the export, so an incomplete file looks identical to a complete one.

The manual way, every month

  • Download the statement for the missing period
  • Check the file format, dates and signed amounts
  • Import into the correct Xero account and review overlaps
  • Compare the closing balance and reconcile the lines

A usable CSV or OFX from the provider may be enough. Native PDF import is also available for eligible US and Canadian Xero organisations.

Review the statement, then choose how to import it

Preview the extraction, check the transactions, then send eligible lines through Xero's Bank Feeds API or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery supports dates within the last year and can be blocked by another provider's feed connection. Use CSV for older history. Overlap checks cover previous uploads to the same StatementClear feed, so also check any period already imported from other sources.

  4. Step 4

    Send to Xero or download CSV

    Send eligible lines directly to Xero or download a Xero-ready CSV. You complete reconciliation in Xero.

Questions about Shopify Payments and Xero

The payout export, from Settings, then Payments, then View payouts, then Transactions. It is the one that shows gross, fee and net per line and ties to the money that actually moved. Sales reports describe orders, not cash, and will never tie to your bank.

The column mapping tells StatementClear which columns are money in, money out and fees, and it is saved after the first upload. Sign and direction checks then catch any file that would run the account the wrong way before a single line posts to Xero.

Two - one per payout currency, matching Shopify's own per-currency payout streams. Each feed posts into a matching currency account in Xero, and each keeps its own saved mapping.

You can choose direct delivery through Xero's Bank Feeds API for eligible accounts and dates, or download a Xero-ready CSV. Direct delivery only supports dates within the last year, and another provider's existing feed can prevent connection. Both routes deliver lines you still reconcile in Xero.
