Feature Overview
If you use Shopify Markets to sell in multiple regions, you can now send each market’s settlements to its own accounting file in Link My Books.
This means you can:
Connect separate Xero or QuickBooks organisations for each business entity/market
Keep your UK, EU, US (or any other) accounts cleanly separated
Avoid manual workarounds to split settlements by region
How It Works
1. Connect a separate accounting file per entity/market
You can now assign a different Xero or QuickBooks connection to each business entity or market you sell in.
Typical examples:
UK sales → Xero/QuickBooks for your UK company
EU sales → Xero/QuickBooks for your EU company
US sales → Xero/QuickBooks for your US company
Each entity has its own accounting connection, so settlements from that market are kept separate.
Note: The exact steps to link each entity to an accounting file depend on your account setup. Once configured, routing happens automatically.
2. Filter and manage batches by business entity
On the Settlements/Batches page, you can filter what you see by business entity/market.
This lets you:
Review settlements for one entity at a time
Post only the batches that belong to a specific company
Quickly switch between entities without exporting or manually splitting data
Example workflow:
Filter to “UK” → review and post those settlements
Switch filter to “EU” → review and post those settlements
Repeat for any other entities you have set up
3. Automatic routing to the correct accounting file
Once your entities/markets are linked:
Link My Books detects which market a settlement belongs to
The settlement is automatically routed and posted to the correct Xero or QuickBooks organisation
You don’t need to manually move, split, or reassign settlements between accounting files
This keeps your accounts aligned with how your business is structured across regions.
