UK eBay payout sync

eBay payouts into Xero without rebuilding them by hand

For UK eBay sellers using Xero. Connect eBay and Xero once, review one real payout, then let STA handle routine payout bookkeeping in the background.

STA pauses instead of guessing if a payout does not reconcile, looks unusual, appears duplicated, or Xero will not safely accept it.

Xero is supported now. FreeAgent, QuickBooks Online and Sage are coming soon. Planned integrations are not available in production yet.

The 30-day free trial has full functionality, includes 12 months of history, needs no card upfront, and does not start automatic billing at trial end.

For and not for

The product is deliberately narrow. That keeps setup, posting, and support clear for the sellers it is built for.

For

STA is for you if

  • You sell on eBay in the UK.
  • You use eBay Managed Payments.
  • You use Xero.
  • Your payouts are in GBP.
  • You want payout bookkeeping automated rather than rebuilt by hand each month.
  • You do enough volume that manual payout reconciliation takes meaningful time.

Not for

Stop here if you need any of these

  • VAT workflows.
  • Accrual-led workflows.
  • Stock, inventory, or cost-of-goods handling.
  • HMRC filing.
  • Real-time sync.
  • Broader marketplace support.
  • Multi-entity support.
  • Non-GBP payouts.
  • Marketplace profit analytics.
  • Accountant portal workflows.
  • Broad accounting advice.

The narrow scope is deliberate: one marketplace, one bookkeeping model, and fewer ambiguous edge cases.

Setup happens inside the app with no card required upfront.

01

Create an account

Sign up in the app. No card required upfront.

02

Connect Xero and eBay

Authorise both connections in the app. STA reads payout data from eBay and posts entries into Xero.

03

Choose your mappings

04

Review one real payout first

Review one historical payout before enabling scheduled posting. Scheduled posting only runs after you switch it on.
