A2X alternative for Amazon and Walmart sellers

A2X is a connector, not a bookkeeping system. It reads your Amazon or Walmart settlement reports, splits them into sales and fees, and posts summarized entries into QuickBooks Online, Xero, or NetSuite — which you subscribe to separately. So the real question isn't "A2X or something else," it's whether you want to run and pay for two tools or one. A2X for Amazon runs $29–$79/month at common volumes; add a ledger and you're at $67–$117. Sell on Amazon and Walmart and the connector alone is $89.

BucketBooks does the settlement import and the books in one tool, for $19–$39/month. Here's the honest comparison, including the cases where A2X is still the right call.

What A2X does well

It's worth being clear about this, because A2X is a good product with a real job.

A2X is the established standard for getting marketplace settlements into a general ledger accurately. Its summarized journal entries are accrual-correct, it handles the awkward parts (refunds crossing periods, reserves, multi-currency) properly, and accountants know it. If your books live in QuickBooks or Xero and you need them to stay there, A2X is the safest way to get Amazon data in without hand-keying.

It also supports far more channels than we do — Shopify, eBay, Etsy, TikTok Shop, and others — and scales to enterprise volumes.

What it costs, in full

Prices verified 30 July 2026 from A2X's own pricing pages: A2X for Amazon and A2X multi-channel.

A2X for Amazon

A2X multi-channel (what you need for Amazon + Walmart)

Neither number is your total. A2X posts into a ledger. QuickBooks Online Simple Start is $38 a month at standard price (the 50%-off promo covers three months). Xero's US plans run $25–$90.

The one-tool comparison

When A2X is still the better choice

Straight answer, because you'll find this out eventually anyway:

• Your accountant requires QuickBooks or Xero. Some do, and that's a legitimate constraint. A2X is how you satisfy it cleanly.
• You sell on more than Amazon and Walmart. Shopify, Etsy, eBay, TikTok Shop — A2X covers them; we don't.
• **You need full double-entry accounting with payroll, inventory COGS automation, or multi-entity consolidation.** That's a general ledger's job, and BucketBooks isn't trying to be one.
• You're at enterprise volume. [A2X's tiers go to 100,000 orders a month](https://www.a2xaccounting.com/amazon/pricing). We're built for sellers well below that.

If none of those describe you, you're paying for a ledger that doesn't understand your business and a connector whose entire job is explaining your business to it.

What you get instead

BucketBooks starts where seller money starts: the settlement report. Import it and you get gross sales split from every fee, refund, reimbursement, and adjustment, with the net payout matched against the deposit in your bank feed — to the penny, or flagged until the deposit arrives.

Bank transactions come in through a secure feed and categorize through deterministic rules you control, with AI suggesting labels only where rules don't reach. The AI proposes labels; it never touches your numbers.

Your categories stay organized to the tax forms sellers file — Schedule C, 1120-S — all year, so year-end is a review rather than a rebuild. It organizes your data; it never computes taxes or gives tax advice.

Amazon and Walmart, one tool, one price. Solo $19/month, Business $39/month. 30-day free trial, no card required. And every ledger row exports any time, even after you cancel.

A note from the founder

I sell on Amazon and Walmart myself. Every month I was manually blending settlement reports with my transaction data, while paying over $100 a month for tools that were complex, overkill, and never built for that job. BucketBooks is the tool I couldn't find.
