Switching overview

Switching overview for A2X or Link My Books users

This page is a start-here overview for sellers already using A2X or Link My Books. Its job is to route you to the right dedicated comparison page and keep the decision grounded in fit, scope, and bookkeeping risk.

SalesToAccounts only makes sense for one narrow setup: UK eBay sole traders using eBay Managed Payments and Xero on a non-VAT, cash-basis, single-entity, GBP-only setup If your current setup already works and you need broader coverage, staying where you are is often the sensible answer.

This overview page complements the dedicated comparison pages. It does not replace them with one blended page and it does not try to make unverified competitor claims: Not for VAT, accrual-led, stock, inventory, or cost-of-goods workflows; limited companies; multiple entities or Xero organisations; non-GBP setups; other marketplaces or ledgers; HMRC filing; or real-time sync expectations.

Ground rules before you compare anything

The ground rules stay the same whichever dedicated page you open next.

Narrow by design

One marketplace, one ledger, one bookkeeping model

SalesToAccounts is only for UK eBay Managed Payments to Xero on the published narrow setup.

Proof first

Use the real payout walkthrough before deciding anything

The strongest proof is the published payout walkthrough and reconciliation page, not a broad comparison claim.

Current route

Private beta, manual fit review, then founder-led onboarding

The public journey is still an application for review, not instant signup or paid checkout.

How to evaluate it without risking your bookkeeping

The safe approach is the same whichever route you came in on: check evidence before changing process and do not treat the beta application like a switch-over button.

01

Open the right comparison page

Start with the dedicated page for A2X or Link My Books so the decision stays specific.

02

Review the proof

Use the payout proof walkthrough and reconciliation page before touching process.

03

Check fit hard

Use the fit checklist to rule the product out if you need broader coverage than the published scope.

04

Decide after review

If the output or the scope does not fit your bookkeeping expectations, stop there rather than forcing a cutover.

Useful pages

Use these pages in order if you are assessing a switch

  1. A2X alternative or Link My Books alternative.
  2. Proof walkthrough for one payout traced into Xero.
  3. Reconciliation proof for the bank-matching view.
  4. Setup guide for onboarding and first-payout review.
  5. Fit checklist before any application.

Next step

Only apply if the narrow fit is already clear

If you still need broader coverage than the published scope, keep your current workflow. If the narrow setup matches and the proof looks right, move to the beta fit check and application page.
