Shopify to FreeAgent, after FreeAgent dropped its integration
FreeAgent switched off its Shopify integration on 30 April 2025 and now tells Shopify sellers to record sales by hand. Ledgerline is a Shopify app we are building to put that link back: every paid Shopify order goes to FreeAgent on its own.
Status: working against FreeAgent's test environment, not on the Shopify App Store yet. Leave your email and we will tell you once when it is live.

What Ledgerline does for each paid order
- Finds the FreeAgent contact by email or creates one (or uses one shared "Shopify customers" contact, your choice).
- Creates a sales invoice numbered SHOP-(order number) with the same items, the VAT rate Shopify charged on each line, discounts and a shipping line.
- Marks it as sent (FreeAgent does not email your customer).
- Records the payment in a FreeAgent bank account you pick, for example one called "Shopify", so the invoice shows as Paid.
Refunds become credit notes marked as refunded. The same order is never sent twice: if a step fails, Ledgerline retries and picks up where it stopped.
Set up in a few minutes
- Connect FreeAgent (you approve access in FreeAgent).
- Pick the bank account for Shopify takings and your income categories.
- Preview what would be created for recent orders. The preview writes nothing.
- Turn on automatic sync, and optionally sync orders from the last 60 days.
- A sync log shows every order, and failed ones can be retried with one click.
What it does not do yet
- Shopify fees and payouts are not posted, so record fees when you explain the payout.
- Orders in another currency become FreeAgent invoices in that currency, and FreeAgent converts them at its exchange rate for the order date.
- Orders older than 60 days are not synced.
Planned pricing
14-day free trial. Basic: USD 9 a month or USD 90 a year, up to 300 orders a month. Pro: USD 15 a month or USD 150 a year, unlimited orders. Billed through Shopify.

We store your email, the shop URL if you give one, and the time you agreed. We use them to send one email when Ledgerline launches on the Shopify App Store, then delete the list. We send nothing else and share it with no one. To be removed at any time, use the delete link we show after you sign up or email kyle@skillmerc.com.
