E-commerce to Xero and QuickBooks
Linked an e-commerce platform to Xero and QuickBooks so order activity flowed into accounting without manual re-keying, built on AWS with Laravel and Bref.
AWS · Laravel · Bref · PHP
Order data living in an e-commerce platform and finance living in Xero or QuickBooks is a familiar split. Someone still has to reconcile the two. For this engagement, the job was to connect them properly so order tracking made it into the accounting systems without a spreadsheet in the middle.
The integration sat on AWS, with Laravel running serverless via Bref. That kept the connector close to the rest of a PHP-friendly stack while still deploying as event-driven functions rather than a always-on box babysitting webhooks.
The shape of the work was classic integration care: map the commerce events that matter, push them into the right Xero or QuickBooks objects, handle retries when a third-party API blinks, and make failures observable enough that support is not guessing from a silent queue. The outcome was less manual order chasing and a cleaner hand-off between storefront and finance.
