Xero Added to the CarryTheOne Platform

Hello,

We're really pleased to announce that Xero has gone live on the CTO platform.

You can now import from Magento, Shopify, CRE Loaded, Zen Cart and osCommerce into Xero.

Here's a short video (which are getting better!) to demonstrate how it works:

E-commerce integration with Xero is next!

Just a quick announcement that Xero is next in line to get the CarryTheOne treatment!

When complete, you will be able to export orders from Magento, Shopify and osCommerce stores into Xero in real time.

Lots of people have already contacted us requesting information about when Xero will be available.

We've learnt the hard way that any prediction we give will be wrong - but we are working on it now and we hope it will be soon :-)

Magento Alpha Release

We are readying the Alpha Release of Magento for this week.

If anyone would like to contribute their time by testing it and helping us to squish bugs, please use the contact form to get in touch!

It is available for KashFlow at the moment, but we will shortly be adding support for FreshBooks and Xero.

Announcing Magento is the next cart to be added

We've had a lot of enquiries from store owners asking if or when Magento will be added to the platform.

Since the start of September we have been evaluating Magento and planning the integration.

It is complicated in that Magento is still very new, and much is not documented.

However, we have made good progress and expect Magento to launch in October.

Magento will integrate with both FreshBooks and KashFlow accountancy & bookkeeping software solutions.

If you would like to be notified when Magento is turned live, please use the contact form and let us know.

osCommerce store not set-up for tax?

We have just implemented an update for osCommerce, Zen and CRE Loaded store owners.

A few of our customers had not configured their websites to charge VAT - but they were registered.

So we have put in an option to override the site's tax settings, and treat the order value as including VAT.

When the orders are imported, we automatically calculate the VAT component and insert it in the invoice.
