Native vs Make vs n8n vs Relay, setup time, cost & field mapping
Reconciling Amazon sales in Xero is the most time-consuming month-end task for small and mid-sized e-commerce sellers: Amazon pays out every two weeks via a settlement report that bundles product revenue, FBA fees, referral fees, refunds, and advertising charges into a single deposit. Without integration, the bookkeeper manually unpacks this into Xero line items — a 2–4 hour process per settlement. Connecting Amazon to Xero via a tool like Taxomate or a custom Make scenario automatically splits each settlement component into the correct Xero account, creates an invoice for sales, and records expenses for fees. The one-time setup of the account mapping takes more effort than a standard integration, but once live it eliminates the reconciliation burden entirely.

There's no native integration. To connect them, you will need a middleware tool like Make or n8n.
Yes. This integration typically uses OAuth 2.0, meaning you grant permission via a secure login window. You do not need to share your raw password, and you can revoke access at any time from your Amazon security settings.
This is typically a one-way sync: Amazon → Xero. Changes in Xero do not sync back to Amazon.
Usually, no. Most native integrations are "forward-looking," meaning they only sync data created or updated *after* you activate the connection. To move historical data, you will likely need to perform a one-time CSV export/import manually.
Native integration is limited to standard fields. For custom field mapping, use an automation tool.
