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 sellers using eBay Managed Payments, non-VAT cash-basis bookkeeping, and Xero 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; non-GBP setups; unsupported accounting software, broader multi-platform coverage, HMRC filing, or real-time sync expectations.

Choose the comparison page that matches your current tool

The dedicated pages below carry the direct comparison intent. This overview page is only here to route you into the right one quickly.

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 the published narrow setup on supported accounting software.

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

Start in-app, review fit, then setup

The public journey is self-serve signup in the app, then first-payout review before scheduled posting.

A call path is available by email request when setup or support needs it.

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 first signup 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 scope hard

Use the app 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 setup and first-payout review.
  5. Start in the app when the narrow fit is clear.

Next step

Only switch 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, review pricing and support expectations, then start in the app.
