Why LedgerPort
Where LedgerPort pulls ahead
We don’t just sync data — we ensure every transaction is accurate, reconciled, and audit-ready from the moment it lands in QuickBooks.
Built specifically for Shopify payout reconciliation
Synder handles many payment gateways well — it was designed around Stripe and PayPal. LedgerPort is purpose-built for Shopify’s payout structure: separating platform fees, payment processing fees, shipping, refunds, and adjustments so your QuickBooks records match your Shopify payouts exactly, not approximately.
Significantly lower cost for Shopify stores
Synder’s pricing for a Shopify + QuickBooks connection starts around $61/month. LedgerPort starts free and scales from $29/month. For an equivalent feature set serving a single Shopify store, you’ll typically pay 50–70% less with LedgerPort.
Firm-grade CPA tools, not just accountant access
Synder offers a basic accountant view. LedgerPort ships a complete CPA portal: bulk client onboarding, per-client audit logs, staff access controls with custom roles, white-label reporting, and wholesale pricing for firms. If you’re an accounting firm managing Shopify clients, there’s no comparison.
Switching is easy
Ready to move? It takes less time than you think.
Switching from Synder is straightforward — connect LedgerPort to your Shopify store and QuickBooks, run a historical backfill to establish your baseline, then disable Synder. The whole process takes under an hour. No data is lost in the transition.
