This is phase 3 of 5 in the app. The article keeps its old URL.) **Before you connect Wave:** Wave needs an active **Pro Plan or Wave Advisors package** for third-party API connections such as Taxomate. The free Wave tier cannot connect to Taxomate. [Review Wave's current API plan requirement](https://support.waveapps.com/hc/en-us/articles/32752267432468-Access-the-Wave-Developer-Portal). The phase is called **Connect {your store} and your books**, for example **Connect Amazon and your books**. It shows "1 of 2 connected" while you connect. Taxomate reads your payouts from your store and sends a summary of each one to your books. It sends nothing until you choose to send it. Selecting **Connect** goes straight to the other site. You come back to Taxomate when you finish there. ## Connect Amazon 1. Select **Connect Amazon**. Choose your region and the marketplaces you want (you can pick several in a region; for example amazon.co.uk, amazon.de, amazon.fr, and amazon.it in Europe). No marketplace is ticked for you. You can add more later. 2. Sign in to Amazon and confirm access to your seller account. ![Amazon page asking you to confirm access to your seller account](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/68a7b1342e2424396e93973d/20250822192132_8845.png) Amazon shows **Connected** with the marketplaces and says "Importing recent payouts. You can keep going." You do not have to wait. For a large account you can see **Still importing your Amazon payouts**. Keep setting up, or leave and come back. If the page says **The import stopped**, your connection is still saved. Select **Try the import again**. If a report import is paused (settlement, VAT, inventory, or reimbursement reports), this step lists it, the same as **Settings > Connections**. ![Import stopped message with the Try the import again button](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/p68a7b1342e2424396e93973d/j51fRMO75buClwB6k0TsR8N4JqogNMYtvm3NuHIJGsgSociM1CtFjzoEse2goNjNihhigWgFZ2M.png) If a part of the page did not load, you see "This did not load. Nothing changed. Check your connection and try again." Select **Try again**. This only reads your setup again. It does not change anything. If you land on a page that says the sign-in does not match, you used a different Amazon, Shopify, or Etsy account than the one already connected. Go back and use the same account. ## Connect Walmart, eBay, Shopify, Etsy - **Walmart:** select **Connect** on the Walmart row. Sign in with a Walmart seller account that can approve apps, and approve the access that Taxomate asks for. Walmart sends you back to Taxomate. You do not need a Client ID or a Client Secret. Taxomate supports Walmart.com (United States). - **eBay:** select **Connect**, log in to eBay, and select **Agree and Continue**. ![eBay sign-in page](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/68a7b1342e2424396e93973d/20250822192132_7970.png)![eBay page with the Agree and Continue button](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/68a7b1342e2424396e93973d/20250822192132_5527.png) - **Shopify:** find your store name (the part before `.myshopify.com`), enter it in the store name box, and select **Connect**.

Choose the sales channel and enter an account name. On a multi-channel plan, add as many accounts as you want under your email and billing account. Quick Setup opens for the new account. ![Account switcher menu open, with Create another account at the bottom](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/ghelparticle/H8qy06ng7wkMTVzFyqOaU58olYUs0HC3R62eY2yTLuC0kdgYeBeXLWUS62qbspYXbUvCCSKopNY.png)![Create an account form with account name, sales channel, and billing](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/p68a7b1342e2424396e93973d/xplJfC31RKwQ7APEL0Bnpl3VToa8uKYAOgKbcn62FomI4niklXlxUjexXr4h9LKKKh9z01rX6rt.png) ## Connect your books Choose one of **QuickBooks Online**, **Xero**, or **Wave** and select **Connect**. ![Connect Amazon and your books step with QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Wave rows](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/p68a7b1342e2424396e93973d/r5BL0zvhV57fVdvYbcaBuDlLE8Lf5jJcjYAySOu9GQES2NZAto1ov9X33eV9EvhZV9YuMPq4Mmr.png) - **QuickBooks:** sign in to QuickBooks if needed, choose your company, and select **Connect**. ![QuickBooks page with the Connect button that authorizes Taxomate](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/68a7b1342e2424396e93973d/20250822192132_4072.png) - **Xero:** sign in to Xero if needed, choose your organisation, and select **Allow access**. ![Xero page with the Allow access button](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/68a7b1342e2424396e93973d/20250822192132_8863.png) - **Wave:** sign in to Wave and select **Allow access**. ![Wave page with the Allow access button](https://staticfiles.gleap.io/helpcenter/68a7b1342e2424396e93973d/20250822192132_7997.png) If you already connected your books under another Taxomate account, select **Existing accounting connection**, pick the connection, and select **Use selected connection**. If you sign in to a different QuickBooks company than the one saved for this account, a red message with the title **Wrong account** appears. It says: "You signed in to a different QuickBooks company. This account sends to {company name}. Sign in to {company name}, or use Switch company." For Xero it says organisation. Sign in again with the saved company, or select **Switch company** on the connected row. Taxomate checks the company only for QuickBooks and Xero. When your store and books both show as connected, select **Continue**. [GO TO STEP 4](https://docs.taxomate.com/en/articles/8546877-step-3-choose-accounts-and-payment-settings.md)
