Shopify to Float, built by specialists
Shopify Float Integration, Connected, Tested and Documented
A Shopify Float integration means getting store money into Float's cash flow forecast, and Float reads from Xero or QuickBooks Online, not from Shopify. So Shopify sales, fees and payouts must reach your ledger first, reconciled, before Float can forecast them. A guide also says ledger-based forecasts miss inventory purchase timing. We build the Shopify-to-ledger link and the forecast view, from $390.
- Shopify sales, fees and payouts posted to Xero or QuickBooks
- Float connected to the reconciled ledger
- Inventory purchase timing added to the forecast
- Test log and a recorded handover

Our track record
Launched 450+ Shopify Stores Since 2015. Now We Connect Them to the Tools You Run.
A store is only as useful as the systems around it. Our integration work is built on years spent inside Shopify, so we can tell what a clean order looks like long before it reaches Float.

Who this is for
Six Kinds of Store We Build Shopify Float Integration For

You are a good fit if
- You sell on Shopify today or soon

- You can approve a test within a few days
Stores forecasting cash
Shopify data reaches Float only through Xero or QuickBooks Online.
Stores with payout delays
Payouts and fees must be recorded and reconciled so Float sees real cash.
Stores buying stock in bulk
A guide says ledger tools miss inventory purchase timing; we add it to the forecast.
Owners wanting short and long views
Float offers a 13-week rolling forecast and a monthly forecast up to three years.
Stores using Shopify-native tools
A guide suggests pairing with Cogsy or Prediko for inventory timing.
Owners with accountants
One reconciled ledger serves both books and forecast.
Problems solved
Shopify Float Integration: Six Faults We Fix First
Forecasts fail when upstream data is missing. These are the six faults we fix.
The problem
Unposted Shopify data
The outcome
Float sees nothing. We post to the ledger.
The problem
Unreconciled payouts
The outcome
Cash looks wrong. We reconcile.
The problem
Inventory timing ignored
The outcome
Forecasts miss big purchases. We add them.
The problem
Stale ledger
The outcome
Forecast lags. We set sync cadence.
The problem
Wrong connector
The outcome
Fees are lost. We choose the right one.
The problem
No handover
The outcome
Setup is unwritten. We document it.

What Happens When a custom order is placed: The Float Flow
An integration is easiest to judge when you can see it. The picture shows the pieces we build for Float: the records on each side, the status of every link and the log a person can read.

How We Build Your Float Integration, Step by Step
A fixed order of work keeps the project predictable. You know what happens next at every point.
- 1
Brief and scope
We ask what you sell, how Float is used and which events matter. A short review of your orders and jobs shows where the flow should start and what it must never do.
- 2
Access and connection
Access is narrow and approved by you, using an API key or an OAuth sign-in. A live read proves the connection works before any build begins.
- 3
Map and rule
We map customer name, address, job type and time slot, then agree which side wins each conflict and what blanks should do, in writing.
- 4
Build in a copy
We build against test data, not your live records, and show you the plan and a recorded run where it helps.
- 5
Test on real cases
Cases tested: a custom order, a day off and a finished project, plus refunds and edits. Every result is compared with Shopify's own figures.
- 6
Go live and hand over
When you say go, the flow goes live. We watch the first runs and leave you notes, a diagram and a recorded walkthrough.

Inside every project
Six Safeguards Built Into Every Float Integration
None of these costs extra. They are simply how we work.
Counts compared, not assumed
Every load ends with a count against the source, which catches gaps and doubles quickly.
Narrow access, in your name
We request only the permissions the flow needs, via an API key or an OAuth sign-in, and you own every account.
Nothing sent without approval
Emails, texts and posts that reach customers are approved by you before they are enabled.
Failures raise a flag
When a run fails, a named person is told which order and why. Silence is never taken as success.
A written definition of done
A flow is finished when it handles a custom order, a day off and a finished project correctly and the results are logged.
Plain scope, two revision rounds
You see the price before paying. Changes within scope go through two structured rounds, so a tweak never becomes an hourly invoice.

Notes a colleague can follow
Handover notes record the data paths and the choices behind each setting, ready for whoever works on it next.

Safety designed in
Retries, alerts, unique keys and narrow access are in every build, not offered as extras.
What we need to get started
What to Prepare Before We Start Your Float Integration
We need a way into your store, a Float account and a short brief. Pick the access route that suits you.
Approve a collaborator request
Already selling? Send the store address and accept the request we raise. You stay the owner, we see only what the role permits, and you can remove us at any time.
Starting from nothing? We build first
We can assemble the store in our own Shopify Partner account, connect Float there, then hand the whole store over by ownership transfer. You pick a Shopify plan only at the end.
Or share a staff login
If it is simpler, a staff login will do. We prefer the collaborator route because it is revocable in one click and no password changes hands.
Your Float access
You can create the account and invite us, or we can create it with your email. In both cases you hold the owner role, and we connect using an API key or an OAuth sign-in.
Sample records
Tell us where typical records live, or send a handful from each system. Real examples beat assumptions.
A decision-maker
Tell us who approves the plan and the test, and which rule should win when Float and Shopify disagree.
Your Shopify owner password and card details never reach us. Changes are made in a copy, and we note every setting we touch.

FAQ
Questions About Float and Shopify Integration
Answers on cost, timing, access, data and what to do when the connection misbehaves.
How much does Shopify Float integration cost?
Single Workflow costs $390, Core Workflows $790 and Full Integration $1490. Order volume, data direction, existing Float data and add-ons change the total, and the calculator shows it before you pay. Most projects land between about $390 and $2090, with delivery from 3 to 14 working days.
How long does the Float integration take?
Single Workflow takes 3 to 5 working days, Core Workflows 5 to 9 and Full Integration 8 to 14. The usual variables are how much history you want loaded and how quickly you approve the test results. The Sooner and Fastest options shorten the schedule when a launch date is fixed.
Does Float integrate with Shopify?
Not directly; it connects to Xero and QuickBooks Online.
How does Shopify data reach Float?
Through the accounting ledger once it is reconciled. Related searches such as "float cash flow forecast shopify", the answer is the same.
What forecast views does Float have?
A 13-week rolling forecast and a monthly forecast up to three years. Queries such as "shopify stock float" point to this service.
Does it handle inventory timing?
A guide says ledger tools miss it, so we add it. The same job is behind "shopify to float sync".
Are there Shopify-native alternatives?
Cogsy and Prediko are mentioned. The same job is behind "connect shopify and float".
Which connector feeds the ledger?
We help you choose. If you typed "float shopify zapier", the answer is the same.
Can you build it?
Yes. The same service covers "float shopify make.com".
