Amazon Xero Integration for UK Sellers

In short: TrueBooks is an Amazon Xero integration that reads each Amazon settlement report through Amazon's official Selling Partner API, classifies every line — sales, fees, refunds, advertising, storage and VAT — and posts one invoice per settlement to Xero. The invoice total matches the payout Amazon sends to your bank, so reconciling it in Xero is a single click. It is built for UK sellers, from £9.99/month + VAT, with a 30-day free trial.

Why Xero needs a separate Amazon integration

Amazon pays sellers roughly every 14 days as one lump sum. Behind that single number sit hundreds or thousands of transactions: product sales, shipping charges, promotional discounts, refunds, FBA fulfilment fees, storage fees, advertising, seller commission and, for many UK sellers, VAT that Amazon has collected on your behalf. Xero's bank feed only sees the total. Without the detail you can't see your real margins, and you can't fill in a correct VAT return.

An Amazon to Xero integration fills that gap. It pulls the settlement report that explains the payout and posts the detail into Xero so your profit and loss, balance sheet and VAT return are all correct.

How the TrueBooks integration works

Connect Amazon. Approve TrueBooks in Seller Central. There are no API keys to copy — the connection uses Amazon's own sign-in.
Connect Xero. Sign in to Xero and pick your organisation. TrueBooks creates the Amazon accounts it needs in your chart of accounts.
Import settlements. TrueBooks imports your existing settlements, then checks for new ones every few minutes once Auto Import is on.
Review and post. Each settlement shows a line-by-line preview. Post it yourself, or switch on Auto Post to send new settlements to Xero automatically.
Reconcile. In Xero, match the Amazon deposit to the invoice. The totals are the same, to the penny.

Built for UK VAT

UK Amazon VAT is where most generic integrations go wrong. TrueBooks handles:

Marketplace Facilitator VAT — orders where Amazon collects and pays the VAT itself are posted as zero-rated, so you don't pay that VAT twice.
The August 2024 billing change — Amazon's UK seller fees moved from its Luxembourg company to its UK branch on 1 August 2024. Fees before that date are reverse-charged; fees after it carry normal UK input VAT. Settlements that span the change get both treatments.
Cross-border orders — sales shipped outside the UK are posted as zero-rated rather than standard-rated.
VAT return figures — a VAT audit view breaks each quarter down by HMRC Box 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7, matching what Xero submits under Making Tax Digital.

Switching from another Amazon Xero integration

If you already use A2X or Link My Books, TrueBooks' migration tool finds the settlements your old tool posted to Xero and marks them as done, so nothing is posted twice. See TrueBooks vs A2X and TrueBooks vs Link My Books for an honest comparison of the options.

Pricing

TrueBooks is priced by monthly Amazon order volume, from £9.99/month + VAT for up to 200 orders. Most sellers pay £15–25 a month. There is a 30-day free trial and no minimum term. See the full table on the pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Does Xero have a built-in Amazon integration?

No. Xero's bank feed shows the lump-sum payout Amazon deposits into your account, but not the sales, fees, refunds and VAT inside it. To get that detail into Xero you need a connector app — such as TrueBooks, A2X or Link My Books — that reads Amazon's settlement reports and posts them to Xero.

How do I connect Amazon to Xero?

With TrueBooks: start a free trial, click Connect Amazon and approve access in Seller Central, then click Connect Xero and choose your organisation. Both use official OAuth sign-ins, so you never handle API keys. TrueBooks then imports your settlements and shows each one for review before posting.

What does the integration post to Xero?

One authorised sales invoice per Amazon settlement, with separate lines for sales, shipping, promotions, refunds, FBA fees, storage, advertising, seller fees and reimbursements — each on the right account and UK tax code. The invoice total equals the deposit, so it matches in Xero's bank reconciliation in one click.

Which Amazon marketplaces are supported?

All Amazon storefronts across Europe, North America and the Far East that report through Seller Central settlement files, including Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de and Amazon.com. Each marketplace is kept separate and posted in its own currency.

Can I undo a posting?

Yes. Any settlement can be rolled back, which voids the Xero invoice, and reposted. Nothing is posted automatically unless you switch on Auto Post.
