ConnectBooks vs Webgility

The Webgility alternative that values your inventory at FIFO.

Both sync your stores to QuickBooks or Xero. Webgility takes cost of goods from the item cost in QuickBooks. ConnectBooks tracks your stock itself and costs every sale at FIFO with landed cost, so your profit per SKU is right.

Summary

The short answer.

Webgility is a long-standing order sync with wide store and POS coverage. ConnectBooks syncs your payouts too, and adds its own FIFO inventory, landed cost and profit by SKU.

Choose Webgility if

  • You need order-by-order posting from storefronts like WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Magento or Wix.
  • You sell in person through Square, Lightspeed or Shopify POS.
  • You need B2B, EDI or shipping automation in the same tool.
  • Your item costs in QuickBooks are already right and you don’t need landed cost.

Choose ConnectBooks if

  • You want cost of goods calculated at FIFO, with freight, duties and tariffs, not copied from an item cost.
  • You hold stock in FBA, AWD, WFS, a 3PL or your own warehouse and want its value, on any QuickBooks version or Xero.
  • You want net profit by SKU after fees, ads, refunds and cost of goods.
  • You sell on Temu. ConnectBooks is the only Temu to QuickBooks integration on the market.

Stack

Who calculates your cost of goods?

With Webgility, cost of goods comes from the item cost already in QuickBooks, and landed cost is done in QuickBooks Enterprise. ConnectBooks calculates both itself.

Inventory

See what each unit really cost.

ConnectBooks keeps its own FIFO cost layers. When a new batch arrives at a higher cost, sales keep using the oldest units first. You don’t depend on the item cost typed into QuickBooks.

  • Each sale costed from the oldest batch first
  • Stock across FBA, AWD, WFS, 3PL and your own warehouses
  • Works the same on QuickBooks Online, Desktop, Enterprise and Xero
Example data
ConnectBooks inventory detail: a new batch arrives at $14.60 and the next orders are still costed at $13.40, the oldest units first

Profit

Find the SKUs that lose money.

Net profit for every SKU, after fees, ads, refunds and FIFO cost of goods. A best seller can still be losing you money.

  • Profit by SKU, channel and month
  • Ad spend counted, not left in a separate tool
  • The same numbers as your books
Example data
ConnectBooks profit by SKU: Stainless Lunch Box sold $26,389 but lost $1,341.68
