A2X × Cin7: Ecommerce & Inventory Accounting That Scales
When you’re selling on Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Etsy, or Walmart — or supporting a brand that does — it’s tough to know which apps will keep both your books and your stock accurate as you grow. Too many brands live with an incomplete stack propped up by spreadsheets, or if they’re scaling, assume an expensive ERP is the only way forward.
The truth? A2X + Cin7 + Xero or QuickBooks now give you ERP-level clarity without the ERP-level pain.
Why brands choose A2X for accurate and automated ecommerce accounting
A2X is the gold standard in ecommerce accounting automation. It turns uncategorized payout data from Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy, Walmart, and PayPal into organized summaries that:
- Reconcile to the payouts on your bank feed in QuickBooks Online or Xero
- Split out sales, refunds, gift cards, fees, taxes and more automatically, and at a channel level
- Provide detailed, drill-down Profit & Loss (P&L) statements without hours of manual cleanup
A2X is trusted by the world’s leading ecommerce sellers and accounting practices because it provides accurate financials they can trust for compliance, taxes, and decision making. It’s especially beneficial for complex, high order volume DTC businesses.
Why brands choose Cin7 Core for multi-channel inventory management
Cin7 Core (formerly DEAR Systems) is a cloud inventory management system built for multichannel sellers. Key capabilities include:
- Tracking stock across warehouses, Amazon FBA, 3PLs, and bundles
- Handling landed costs and FIFO/FEFO layers so COGS is always accurate
- Pushing purchase orders, inventory adjustments, and COGS to Xero or QuickBooks
In short, Cin7 keeps your on-hand counts and margins accurate in real time, no spreadsheets required.
How A2X and Cin7 work in parallel to deliver accurate ecommerce and inventory accounting
Until recently, it was challenging to use A2X and Cin7 together. Specifically because you couldn’t turn sales posting off in Cin7 without also turning COGS posting off. Now, you have the granular control to select “Sales Posting OFF, COGS Posting ON” in Cin7, which allows for the following:
- A2X owns revenue
- Imports every marketplace settlement
- Posts tidy summaries that match the cash in your bank feed
- Cin7 owns inventory & COGS
- Updates stock levels across channels
- Posts accurate COGS and inventory adjustments, without the duplicate sales entries
- Xero or QuickBooks becomes the single source of truth
- Best-in-class data from each app, zero overlap, zero gaps
What types of brands can benefit from A2X and Cin7?
- Brands still living in spreadsheets – Swap sheets for Cin7, plug it in beside A2X, and jump straight to real-time counts plus accurate books.
- Cin7 users with messy financials – Turn off Cin7 sales posting, let A2X take over revenue, and watch your P&L provide next-level accuracy and detail.
- Scaling sellers eyeing NetSuite – Cover the same ground for a fraction of the cost while staying on familiar accounting software.
