### "Amaka - thank you for helping me do a historical sync for MYOB and lots of other help"

November 6, 2024

5.0

I have found that Amaka has been there when I need them. Recently I moved from Xero to MYOB for this financial year but I was really worried that when I finally got a chance to do all my book work that the syncing between my bank account and MYOB had stopped. I was so relieved when Lyle at Amaka could do a historical sync for me. I was up and running in no time thanks to Lyle and Amaka. There are so many software apps and systems for small businesses that are great but when they don't work or you don't understand something trying to get support from them is often long and arduous. NOT with Amaka. Not only do they set up 1:1 appointments but they chase you if you've become busy running your business. Thanks Amaka.

Pros

They are really helpful which is great because a lot of small businesses don't have IT support so its wonderful to know we can rely on Amaka for the software services they provide.

Cons

You can't get a 1:1 consult on the day you find the issue BUT that's because they are so busy helping other people. On the upside they pursue you if you forget to attend because life in your small business has taken over.

### "Xero integration"

March 4, 2022

3.0

Apart from the excellent customer service, there was extremely poor communication of the integration for Xero users, especially small business owners who do their own bookkeeping.

Pros

Not applicable. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\]

Cons

I was never consulted when Xero integrated with Amanka and therefore continued BAU for 3 months without knowing Square and Xero were not syncing. My quarterly BAS which has been lodged with the ATO is out and integration was complex and transactions duplicated. \[SENSITIVE CONTENT\] in your support services was outstanding and went above and beyond to help me.

### "Amazing Assistance in Troubling Shooting Integration Issues"

February 13, 2026

5.0

I had issues with an integration, reached out for assistance and was provided a timely respond with professional and excellent service. It took a few different attempts to sort out my issues but we got there. I really appreciate the kind and personalised service, especially given that my integration is provided for free. Highly recommend.

Pros

The integration for software I require is provided by Amaka for free. Any time I've had an issue I am provided with outstanding communication from their team and great troubleshooting assistance.

Cons

Honestly, nothing! I am always very pleased with the help I have received over the years. I can't fault the service, nor the amazing support team. Thank you!

### "Simple and Automatic"

June 12, 2020

5.0

My client wanted to code the Square transactions into different sales accounts and once set up Amaka does this automatically with little coding to be done in Xero.

Pros

The simplicity and automation. Once set up correctly there is only a couple steps to reconcile the transactions, the rest is automated. Each transaction is split into stock items and then coded to the correct chart of account without me having to do it manually.

Cons

The set up was a tad confusing but the support I received was very helpful.

Reason for choosing Amaka

The reviews and the demonstration sold me.

### "Great product, amazing support team!"

November 27, 2020

5.0

\[SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN\] from the support team was beyond amazing! She helped the business migrate from the legacy integration into the Amaka integration. I really appreciate that she made sure in detail that everything was set-up properly and even cleaned up my bookkeeping for the transition period so that I have no work on my side. I can't thank her enough for her support.

Pros

I was using a legacy integration (with another company) which was a pain to deal with! The Amaka automation is much more clever in its workings and saves me a lot more time!

Cons

None so far - I am really liking the product

### "Great Customer Service"

November 6, 2023

5.0

Excellent. They solve my issues whenever I've booked an appointment.

Pros

The terrific customer service. I could not possibly do this on my own. Amaka are extremely helpful and polite whilst helping.

Cons

Only the length of time to obtain an appointment. Sometimes that can be as long as a week, but that's life and I work around it. This is no fault of Amaka's.

### "Great Product & Customer Service"

June 16, 2020

5.0

Pros

I love the way data is presented in a manner that allows for in-depth dice & slice in order to retrieve the valuable insights we seek.

Cons

Being limited to a month's worth of data to download at a time. However, not a big issue.

### "Easiest software"

January 30, 2023

5.0

Would recommend and continue using

Pros

The fact that we can set it up once and not worry about it again is great. More importantly, the customer service is amazing if we ever want to update anything.

Cons

It would be easier if we had access to update account codes on our own and access to the platform itself

May 9, 2024

5.0

Pros

Customer service is excellent. Very responsive.

Cons

No problems with Amaka. Perhaps the timeframe of booking a session but really this didn't pose too much of an issue.

### "Great customer service"

May 19, 2022

5.0

Angel was really helpful in helping me to understand the integration, and patient with explaining the different elements.

Pros

This has reduced the manual sales recording and reconciliation process plus the unlimited customer support.

Cons

It would be good if there were written, step-by-step explanations. That said, the live customer support is much more helpful.

June 21, 2023

5.0

Pros

I took over a Xero / Square Amaka integration and there were quite a few things that I didn't understand how to fix. I contacted the team and had \[sensitive content hidden\] help me every step of the way. They're very clear, proactive and responsive. Nothing is too difficult

Cons

I am not sure yet, I haven't used it long enough

August 1, 2023

Integrating Square transactions with Xero

Pros

In the background, don't have to worry about it. It is there doing it's function.

Cons

I usually don't know it is there doing it's job so there is really nothing I like least.

### "Set up with Francis"

February 24, 2022

5.0

The support is above all my expectations. Will always refer clients to Square and Amaka.

Pros

I love how awesome the Square support staff are there to help you if you are struggling with integrating or have any questions at all. They are so happy to help. It is a fantastic software to be able to present to clients because Square's support is top notch and it is easy to reconcile/understand the integration. It is a win win when we understand the software.

Cons

When individuals who are just getting started get set up with the software before talking to their accountants, we have had some issues with tax rates that clients have created, but are incorrect. Most of these are solved through troubleshooting with Square support, but I wonder if there is any type of wording when clients go and create accounts like, "It is advised you connect with your accountant/bookkeeper before setting up tax rates". I haven't set up a Square account from start to finish for a client so I apologize if this is already presented.

May 28, 2022

4.0

Customer service has never failed me, always finds a solution to any problem i might have.

Pros

Batch processing so I can ensure each days entries are correct, rather than being flooded with hundreds of daily sales entries.

Cons

There were a few errors with syncs but all sorted once discussed with Customer service. It is however important to check that the sync occured correctly on a daily/weekly basis.

### "Integration"

May 17, 2023

5.0

Amaka has a great support team that is very knowledgeable on the integration between Square and Xero. For my most recent experience, I worked with \[sensitive content hidden\] who is great to work with as she is very responsive, helpful, and understands the systems very well. Thanks for everything!

Pros

Very great customer service and integration support.

Cons

Being in a different time zone from Amaka is probably the only minor limitation, however it is not a major concern.

### "Amazing Intergration Specialists"

August 30, 2023

5.0

My specialist \[sensitive content hidden\] was amazing & helpful with every process.

Pros

Fast and effective integration management between Square & Xero. Helpful and friendly specialists who make fixing back-end problems a breeze. Highly recommend as I have learned a lot through this process of things that I have been doing wrong for years as well as diagnosing and completely fixing my Intergrations. Worth every cent and can save a lot of time and hassle to have to figure it out yourself.

Cons

Nothing during the process was disliked.

Have had a very good experience with Customer support. They have been exceptional at times in responding in a very timely manner to any queries raised.

Pros

The automated ticketing system, feedback on ticket status and customer service.

Cons

Don't usually login to the software as interaction is normally done over emails directly.
