A2X and Link My Books integration
UAE sellers on Amazon.ae, noon and Shopify get paid in lump-sum payouts that hide fees, refunds and VAT. Finbryn connects A2X or Link My Books to Xero or QuickBooks so each payout splits into sales, marketplace fees and refunds, with UAE VAT treated correctly on marketplace-collected sales.

One payout, several hidden numbers
A single Amazon or Noon payout landing as one bank deposit buries the actual sales figure inside marketplace fees, refunds and whatever reserve the platform is holding back that cycle. For a UAE seller approaching the AED 375,000 mandatory VAT registration threshold, that blended number can obscure the exact point registration becomes due, since the threshold is based on taxable supplies, not on what eventually clears into the bank after fees.
Setting up the connection properly
A2X or Link My Books gets connected to the marketplace and to Xero, QuickBooks Online or Zoho Books, then the chart of accounts gets mapped for gross sales, marketplace fees, shipping income, refunds and reserves. Historical settlements are imported and reconciled to marketplace statements during onboarding rather than starting the mapping from a blank slate, and the setup distinguishes VAT the seller must account for directly from any VAT a marketplace already collects on its behalf.
Keeping it accurate month after month
Once live, each payout reconciles monthly against the summarised entries A2X or Link My Books produces, so the profit and loss reflects real margin per sale rather than one lump deposit that overstates or understates the picture depending on how much got refunded that period.
Why this is usually the biggest VAT fix available
For most UAE ecommerce sellers, getting marketplace settlements mapped correctly does more for VAT accuracy than any change to the bookkeeping process itself, since gross sales, fees and refunds sitting in the wrong accounts is a more common error than a miscoded standalone transaction. It also feeds straight into monthly management reporting once the mapping is stable.
Questions
Frequently asked questions: A2X and Link My Books integration
Does A2X handle Amazon.ae and noon alongside Shopify?
A2X and Link My Books cover Amazon.ae and Shopify; check current coverage against noon and any other channel before we start.
How does this affect our VAT registration threshold?
We map gross sales, not net-of-fee payouts, into the accounts, which gives an accurate read on taxable turnover against the AED 375,000 mandatory registration threshold.
Do you handle historical settlements from before we started using A2X?
Yes, historical settlements get imported and reconciled to marketplace statements as part of onboarding, so the trading history is not left with a gap.
Why can't I just record the marketplace payout as one deposit?
A single deposit hides sales, fees, refunds and reserves inside one number, which understates revenue and overstates or understates expenses depending on the period.
Which marketplaces does A2X support?
Amazon, Shopify, Etsy, eBay and Walmart are the ones we connect most often; check current coverage against your specific channel before we start.
