Why We Chose Fooman Connect: Xero
I knew when we started I needed a solution that would give me full and accurate visibility of Magento sales data in Xero and be 100% accurate. You worry when you’re implementing any software onto your platform, and you need to be sure that it’s going to be reliable and that it delivers what it needs to do. Our Magento developers recommended Fooman Connect: Xero as really the only solution on the market would work seamlessly between Magento and Xero. We’ve used the Fooman Xero extension since our launch in 2015 and are very happy with it.
From the very first pull of our sales data from Magento to Xero, it was all automated. It was really easy to do our partner payments each month, reconcile all our accounts and see our sales by region. The time taken for us to export and import into Xero was a matter of minutes, even when we have significant sales per month from different countries.

Data Visibility and Ease Of Use
Having full visibility of our Magento sales data in Xero is so helpful to us – things like customer reference number, order number and sales by region. The extension gives you very clear visibility in one simple platform. In Magento, you can see what sales/data has been exported and what hasn’t been yet.
The Fooman Connect: Xero extension is very simple and intuitive – somebody who is not technical can easily grasp how to manage it. In a nice way, it’s fool proof. Our first accountant picked it up within minutes. Now, the whole accounting team easily operates it and I have full confidence in them playing around with the extension.

Data Accuracy
Accuracy is also very important – another reason we’re happy with the Fooman extension. We’re an online marketplace growing fast (400% growth this year alone), and selling to different countries in different currencies. You need to have your accounts 100% accurate – if our accounts don’t work then our business model doesn’t work. We have almost 100 partners on our site so we need to be sure that everything tallies correctly and feel reassured that we have all the data. There’d be nothing worse than having to reconcile the accounts at the end of the month and they don’t tally up. Making incorrect partner payments or getting the accounts wrong isn’t an option. It could cost us a lot, not only in terms of sales but also in our partners’ confidence.
