Xero is cloud accounting software used by a large share of New Zealand and Australian businesses for invoicing, GST, bank reconciliation and reporting. Your website is one more place sales come from. We map how each order or paid invoice should arrive in Xero, against which accounts and tax codes, and manage the connection so your accountant finds clean entries at the end of the month.
We map your chart of accounts, tax settings and payment providers before deciding how sales should flow into Xero.
We scope and manage the Xero connector that suits your order volume, configured against your account codes and tracking categories.
Test sales, refunds and payouts run through to reconciliation, and your accountant reviews the entries before go-live.
A Shopify sale creates its matching entry in Xero with GST applied to products, shipping and discounts, so your return is built from data nobody had to re-key.
We map how Shopify Payments, Windcave or Afterpay payouts arrive in Xero with fees separated out, so each deposit in the bank feed has a matching entry to reconcile against.
Businesses selling into both markets get exchange rates and each country's GST treatment mapped before launch, so the first quarter's return is built on correct entries.
Where a Webflow site takes bookings, deposits or quote requests, we set up the workflow that turns each one into a Xero invoice through the payment or automation tool that suits your volume.
“We hired Skyrocket to rebuild our two websites on Shopify (one for NZ, one for Australia) and we were extremely satisfied with the whole experience. Skyrocket were efficient and cost-effective, delivering everything we wanted for our websites on time and on-budget. I have 15 years of experience in e-commerce and performance marketing, working both client side and agency side. I can honestly say that our project with Skyrocket was one of the smoothest I’ve experienced, and I would enlist them again in a second.”

Xero is cloud accounting software used across New Zealand and Australia. Skyrocket maps how orders, payouts and invoices from a Shopify store or Webflow site flow into Xero, and manages the connection so GST and reconciliation match the client's existing chart of accounts.
We already use Xero. What's involved in connecting it?
Xero connects to Shopify in minutes. The work is in the mapping: tax codes, payout clearing, refunds and multi-currency, set up so your accountant can sign off each month's entries as they arrive.
Does this work for a Webflow site with no online store?
Yes. Bookings, deposits and paid quotes can create Xero invoices through a payment or automation tool, which we scope and configure.
Will our accountant need to change how they work?
The connection is mapped to your existing chart of accounts and reporting, and we bring your accountant into testing before launch.
Do you have access to our financial data?
Only the access needed to configure the connection. Ongoing access and reconciliation stay with you and your accountant.
The headline metrics of an ecommerce build, conversion rate, site speed and design quality, tend to get the most attention. The integration architecture tends to get addressed after everything else. That sequencing is backwards.

Somebody says the word integrations, everyone nods, and nobody writes it down. Six weeks later nobody can answer what happens in Xero when an order comes in. Here is the stack a NZ store actually needs and the order to build it.

Before a project starts, we often come to you. Sitting in your space, understanding how the business operates and working through the brief face to face gives us context that a video call doesn't quite replicate.
