What each side expects
Shopify and Tellow do not describe the world the same way. This is what has to line up.
Shopify
Shopify thinks in orders with line items, a variant per line and a separate customer. Discounts, shipping and VAT sit as their own entries on the order rather than folded into the price.
Tellow
An accounting package wants to know, per line, which ledger account and VAT rate apply, and wants the customer on file as a relation.

Test and switch on
You check the connector on a few test records before anything becomes final, then it runs by itself.
What you need
- A Shopify store you own or where you may install apps. The connector runs as an app inside your admin, so you sign in through Shopify and need no separate account.
- An administration you administer, plus clarity on the ledger account you want used.

Common questions
Can you connect Shopify to Tellow?
Yes. Schakel connects through the official APIs of Shopify and Tellow, so you install nothing on your own server and nothing travels outside those two parties.
Which VAT rate do my sales get in Tellow?
The rate is set per line: 21%, 9% or 0%. Sales to Belgium and other EU countries get the rate of the destination country, ready for your OSS return.
Are commission and fees booked separately in Tellow?
Yes. Commission, shipping and other fee types each land on their own ledger account in Tellow, rather than in one lump sum, so your margin stays readable.
What happens on a refund or partial cancellation in Shopify?
It comes across, so Tellow matches what was actually settled and you correct nothing by hand.
What does connecting Shopify and Tellow cost?
You start free and only pay once the connector is really running. After that the same tiers apply as for any other connector, based on how much runs through it each month.
How often does Shopify sync with Tellow?
That depends on your tier: hourly on the free tier up to real time on the unlimited tier. You can always start a sync yourself as well.
What happens to a return or refund in Tellow?
A return becomes a credit invoice in Tellow for the amount actually refunded, not for the whole order, so nothing needs correcting afterwards.
What if Shopify or Tellow is briefly unavailable?
Nothing gets lost. Schakel retries later and the log shows exactly what happened, so at most you notice something coming through a little later.
