A2X Summarizes. Webgility Reconciles.
A2X posts settlement summaries. Webgility posts every order individually — fees classified, refunds separated, each entry clickable back to its source in QuickBooks. These are different products solving different problems.

Summary vs. Order-Level
A2X posts a single summarized journal entry per settlement period: net revenue, net fees, net adjustments. If your accountant needs to find a specific order, a specific fee, or a specific return, it's not in QuickBooks. Webgility posts each order individually. Every entry is traceable.
- Every QuickBooks entry links to its source order
- Exceptions caught before they post
- Audits that take hours become a single click
- Disputed transactions resolved from the books
- Month-end close in hours, not days
A2X Is Accounting. Webgility Is Operations.
A2X connects your channel to your accounting system. Webgility connects your channels to each other, manages your inventory, automates your workflows, and then produces the accounting output. If you need POS transactions on the same books as your Shopify and Amazon orders — A2X isn't built for that. If you need inventory that stops overselling the day you turn it on — same answer.
What Changes When You Post Per Order
When your bookkeeper asks "which order is this entry from?" — A2X's summary can't answer that. Webgility's entry links directly to the source order, the channel, the customer, the fee breakdown. Audits that take hours become minutes. Exceptions that compound silently get caught before they post.
When A2X is the right call
Single-channel Amazon or Shopify seller, low volume, summary-only accounting is all you need, no POS, no inventory sync, no multichannel. A2X does that job cleanly. If you're managing inventory across channels, need order-level traceability, want your close process automated, or you've added a second selling channel — you've outgrown what A2X can do.
What operators say about the difference.
We went from $1.9 million to $5.5 million in revenue and now process over 10,000 online orders a month. You cannot truly scale any online business without Webgility's automation.
Webgility automatically syncs all orders, inventory, and transaction data to QuickBooks, so I don't have to worry about it at all.
The reconciliation is the part I never want to go back to doing manually.
Common questions when switching from A2X.
Our accountant prefers summary entries — is per-order posting overkill?
If your accountant is fine with summary totals, you may not need per-order posting for close purposes. Webgility supports both: post summary entries to QuickBooks while keeping per-order detail available for audits and disputes. You're not forced into one mode.
Can Webgility handle Amazon settlements the same way A2X does?
Yes — and with more granularity. Webgility decodes Amazon settlement reports into the underlying orders, FBA fees, referral fees, storage charges, advertising deductions, and returns. Each line posts to the correct account. A2X posts the same data as a net summary per settlement period.
Do I need to cancel A2X before testing Webgility?
No. Run both simultaneously against a sandbox QuickBooks. Post a full month of orders with Webgility, compare the output with your accountant, then decide. Free onboarding handles the setup — no cancellation required to test.
How does Webgility handle marketplace-collected tax?
Natively. Amazon, Walmart, and eBay collect and remit sales tax on your behalf. Webgility detects marketplace-collected tax orders and classifies them correctly so your P&L doesn't double-count collected tax as revenue.
Test both tools side by side. Pick the one that fits.
Run Webgility against a sandbox QuickBooks while A2X stays live. Post a full month of orders, payouts, and any POS transactions. Compare the output with your accountant. Free onboarding handles the setup — no cancellation required first.
