A contractor-ready watchdog: catch paid Shopify orders that never become accounting invoices, without inventing journals or flooding Slack. Self-serve when published.
Pattern for comparing paid Shopify orders to Xero matches on a timer.
Prerequisites, grace periods, exclusions, and a named finance owner.
Private #ops-finance alert + one task per gap (or a burst roll-up).
Dedupe, API-degradation handling, and acceptance tests.
Install time about 3 to 5 hours. Stack: Shopify + Xero connector + Slack/Make/n8n. Detects reconciliation exceptions, does not post journals. Not tax or accounting advice.
