Data Transformation

Multiple Shopify line items aggregate into one Xero invoice with multiple lines

Input Shopify Order Line Items

One row per product in each order

Key columns: Name, Created at, Lineitem name, Lineitem price
N:1 — Multiple input rows aggregate to one output row
Output Xero Invoice with Lines grouped rows per input

One invoice per order, with line items grouped by InvoiceNumber

Invoice Header First row contains all header fields
Line Items Each product becomes a line with Description, Quantity, UnitAmount
Shipping Line Shipping added as separate line item if > 0
InvoiceNumber groups lines; first row has header, rest have blanks

Why Shopify Orders Don't Import Cleanly to Xero

The Multi-Line Order & Date Problem

Shopify exports one row per product. A single order with 3 items becomes 3 rows in your CSV. Xero expects multi-line invoices grouped by InvoiceNumber with header data only on the first row. Shopify uses ISO 8601 dates (2025-01-15T10:30:00-05:00). Xero requires DD/MM/YYYY or MM/DD/YYYY. Wrong format = entire import rejected.

What This Tool Does

We automatically transform Shopify orders to Xero invoice format: - Multiple products → One Invoice with proper line grouping - ISO dates → Regional date format (UK/AU/NZ/EU or US) - Tax handling options (exclude or map to Xero rates) - Shipping as separate line item - Correct field mapping for seamless import Your Xero matches your Shopify order count exactly.

Common Sales Invoice Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Orders Export data to Sales Invoice - and how we solve them

Invalid Date Format

Xero rejects dates not matching your organization's regional format

2025-01-15T10:30:00-05:00
15/01/2025 (UK) or 01/15/2025 (US)

Select your Xero region in processing options for correct date format

Re-upload with correct region selected

Duplicate Invoice Number

Xero rejects InvoiceNumber values that already exist

#1001, #1001
1001 (unique per invoice)

Each order becomes one invoice with unique number

Check Xero for existing invoices before re-importing

Tax Type Not Found

TaxType must exactly match a configured tax rate in Xero

20% VAT
20% (VAT on Income)

Configure exact tax rate name in processing options, or use Tax Exempt

Check Settings > Tax Rates in Xero for exact names

New Contact Created

ContactName didn't match existing contact, so Xero created new one

John smith
John Smith

Ensure customer names match existing Xero contacts exactly

Merge duplicate contacts in Xero after import

Frequently Asked Questions

Select where your Xero organization is registered. UK, Australia, NZ, and Europe use DD/MM/YYYY. US uses MM/DD/YYYY. Wrong format = import rejected.
Tax Exempt (recommended for US/Canada): Maps everything to 'Tax Exempt' in Xero. You handle tax reporting separately. Map to Xero Tax Rate: Uses your specified tax rate name (e.g., '20% (VAT on Income)') - must match exactly in Xero.
Check Xero Settings → Chart of Accounts. Common sales accounts: 200 (Revenue), 4000 (Sales). The code must exist in your Xero organization.
