A2X offers a helpful export solution for your Amazon accounting, so that you can import into a wide variety of accounting systems, such as FreshBooks and Wave.

This guide will show you how to set up A2X for a manual integration and how to export your Amazon settlement data for accounting and reconciliation.

Before proceeding:

To begin, go to your Home page, select Custom connection in Step 1, then click Connect to Custom:

Next, go to Settings > Connections in A2X to add your chart of accounts and tax rates.

A2X needs your existing chart of accounts and tax rates from your accounting system in order to configure your accounting for Amazon settlements. You will need to create the files in CSV format then upload them to A2X.

For more information on uploading your chart of accounts to A2X, please review our support article HERE.

You can download sample files from A2X for reference:

​

Next, in Settings > Connections in A2X, select General Journal Export (CSV) as your Export Format:

Finally, select your bank accounts. Select your bank account where Amazon deposits your settlements, your credit card where Amazon charges any amounts owed and an asset account that can hold your month-end pending payout.

Click Save.

A2X needs to know how you want to map your Amazon transactions into your accounting system. The mapping process is performed on the Accounts and Taxes page in A2X. You can learn more about the mapping process HERE.

This is a standard part of the A2X setup process for all users (both direct and manual integrations). If you’d like some help with this, our support team can give you some tips and pointers, but in general, you’ll want to discuss this with your accountant as it affects the way your financial statements will appear. 

You will export a CSV settlement file from A2X and import the CSV file into your accounting system.

Export the data individually - click Export settlements for any given settlement:

OR

Export the data in bulk - select multiple settlements then click Post to Manual > Post settlements:

This will combine the data into one CSV file.
