A2X and Link My Books integration

Short answer

Saudi sellers on Amazon.sa, Noon or their own Shopify store get paid in lump-sum payouts that hide fees, refunds and VAT. Finbryn connects A2X or Link My Books to Xero or QuickBooks Online so each payout splits into sales, marketplace fees and refunds, with the 15% VAT and Fatoora e-invoicing treated correctly.

Why marketplace payouts mislead a Saudi seller

A single Amazon.sa or Noon payout landing as one bank deposit hides the sales figure, the marketplace fees, refunds and any reserve held back. For a Saudi seller approaching the SAR 40 million threshold that separates monthly from quarterly VAT filing, that single-number view can hide the actual pace of taxable supplies, since the threshold is based on sales, not what lands in the bank after fees.

What the integration covers

We connect A2X or Link My Books to the marketplace and to Xero or QuickBooks Online, then map the chart of accounts for gross sales, marketplace fees, shipping income, refunds and reserves. Historical settlements get imported and reconciled to marketplace statements during onboarding rather than starting from a blank slate. VAT collected at 15% gets mapped separately from the sale itself, and the connection is checked against your current Fatoora e-invoicing wave so structured invoices generate correctly rather than as an afterthought.

Ongoing reconciliation

Once live, each payout gets reconciled monthly against the summarised entries A2X or Link My Books produces, so the profit and loss reflects actual margin per sale rather than a lump deposit that overstates or understates the picture depending on the period's refund activity.

Where this fits with VAT and Fatoora

Since every VAT-registered Saudi business is being pulled into a Fatoora Phase 2 integration wave as ZATCA lowers the revenue threshold, marketplace integration is often the fastest fix to a Saudi ecommerce seller's invoicing accuracy, ahead of anything the bookkeeping itself changes.

Questions

Frequently asked questions: A2X and Link My Books integration

Does A2X handle Saudi marketplaces like Amazon.sa and Noon?

A2X and Link My Books both support the main Amazon marketplace accounts; check current coverage against Noon and any other specific channel before we start.

How does this affect our VAT filing frequency?

We map gross sales, not net-of-fee payouts, into the accounts, which gives an accurate read on whether your annual taxable supplies sit above or below the SAR 40 million threshold that decides monthly versus quarterly filing.

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.

Does this integration help with Fatoora e-invoicing compliance?

We check the mapping supports structured invoice generation the way your current e-invoicing wave requires. Confirm your specific wave and deadline with ZATCA rather than relying on a date we give you.

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?
