A2X and Link My Books integration
Amazon and Shopify settle Australian sellers with one lump-sum payout that hides sales, fees, refunds and GST. Finbryn connects A2X or Link My Books so payouts split into their real components, mapped to a chart of accounts that keeps GST collected separate from revenue.

Illustrative. An example of the document, not a client's figures.
One deposit, five things bundled inside it
Open a bank feed for an Amazon Australia or Shopify seller and the payout looks like a single clean figure. It never is. Referral fees, fulfilment fees, refunds and a reserve holdback are already netted out before that deposit lands, and the GST sitting inside gross sales has not been separated from any of it. Book the deposit as revenue and both your income and your BAS figures are wrong in the same direction.
Splitting it back apart
A2X or Link My Books sits between the marketplace and Xero, MYOB or QuickBooks Online, breaking each settlement into gross sales, fees, refunds and reserves before any of it posts. We build the chart-of-accounts mapping so each of those lines lands where it belongs, with the correct GST tax code attached line by line instead of guessed at against one blended figure.
Why this matters most near A$75,000
A seller trading close to the GST registration threshold often only sees their real gross sales, as opposed to a net deposit figure, once this split is running. That visibility is usually what shows a business it needs to register inside the 21-day window rather than after the threshold has already been crossed.
Kept current, not just set up once
Each period's settlement summary is reconciled against the actual bank deposit going forward, so a seller sees gross sales, total fees and margin by channel rather than one number that hides all three, feeding straight into monthly bookkeeping for anyone running more than one channel.
The backlog most sellers arrive with
Most sellers have months of raw, unreconciled deposits sitting in the feed already. Rebuilding those into sales, fees, GST and refunds is part of the same setup, so past BAS periods stop understating GST collected.
Questions
Frequently asked questions: A2X and Link My Books integration
Why does my Amazon or Shopify payout not match my sales?
The payout nets fees, refunds and reserve holdbacks against gross sales before it reaches your bank account. A2X splits those components apart so gross sales, fees and GST are each visible on their own.
Does this help with GST on marketplace sales?
Yes. Splitting gross sales from fees and refunds means the correct GST tax code applies to each component instead of one net deposit, which keeps quarterly BAS figures accurate.
Do you handle both Amazon and Shopify settlements?
Yes, and most multi-channel Australian sellers run both through the same A2X or Link My Books connection into one file.
Can you clear a backlog of unreconciled settlements?
Yes, that is a common starting point and usually runs alongside a catch-up bookkeeping engagement.
What access do you need to set up A2X or Link My Books?
Read-only access to your marketplace seller account and your accounting software, so payout settlement data can be mapped into the correct sales, fee and GST accounts automatically.
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.
What if our records for a2X and Link My Books integration are not up to date?
If your records are behind, we scope a catch-up first so a2X and Link My Books integration starts from a clean, reconciled base. That catch-up is priced and timed separately from the ongoing engagement, so you always know what each part costs.
Who reviews the work before it reaches us?
Every deliverable under a2X and Link My Books integration is reviewed by a senior reviewer before it reaches you. You keep access to the underlying file at every stage, so nothing about the work happens somewhere you cannot see it.
