eCommerce is no longer a trend, it has become essential for many businesses all over the world. It’s perhaps not surprising then to see an increasing number of customers looking for apps to support their ecommerce needs. In fact, Shopify took out the top spot as the most searched for app on the Xero App Store between April and November this year.

That’s why we’re pleased to announce a new integration with Shopify – one of the world’s leading ecommerce platforms. The new Xero & Shopify app, built in-house and with 24/7 Xero developer support, is available now in both the Xero App Store and the Shopify App Store.
