Cin7 Review Australia 2026
Powerful but Pricey Inventory Platform for Serious Product Sellers
Cin7 Core is still the broad multi-channel inventory suite: USD Standard $349, Pro $599, Advanced now $1,199. Unlimited locations, Xero/QBO, batch/serial and purchasing sit on Standard; MRP is Pro; Advanced WMS is Advanced. The B2B portal is an add-on, not a built-in. Hosting is Azure Australia or United States (GCP EU/US for some data) — not NZ-only and not AU-sovereign. No AUD list. Fine for Xero multi-channel mid-market; too expensive and add-on-heavy for a first inventory tool.
- Best for
- Mid-market product sellers, manufacturers, wholesalers, and multi-channel retailers running Xero who need advanced inventory, warehouse management, and manufacturing features.
- Not ideal for
- Small businesses on tight budgets, sole traders, businesses requiring MYOB integration, or those needing AU-hosted data for compliance reasons.

Feature highlights
These highlights come from vendor documentation and editorial analysis of public sources. They are not firsthand test results or a claim that every listed capability was exercised in a trial.
- Core USD $349 / $599 / $1,199
Standard/Pro/Advanced excl taxes (8 Sep 2026). Omni quote. Advanced was $999.
- Unlimited inventory locations; Advanced WMS is gated
Locations unlimited on every card. Advanced WMS (multi-warehouse mobile, FIFO/FEFO) is Advanced-included, Pro add-on, not Standard.
- Purchasing and batch/serial on Standard
POs, barcode scanning, BOM/assembly and batch/expiry tracking are on Standard. MRP starts as an add-on then included on Pro.
- B2B portal is an add-on
Wholesale portal and POS are extra on every plan, including Advanced.
- Xero or QuickBooks Online
Native accounting column. MYOB is third-party. Tax rules sync from Xero; no BAS lodge.
- Azure AU or US — not AU-only
SOC 2 Type 2. Sub-processors also list GCP EU/US. Stored NZ-only Omni copy is stale.
AU Compliance Scores
These scores apply to Australian tax, payroll and banking capabilities where they are relevant to Cin7. They are SoftwareHQ editorial judgements from public documentation, not firsthand product tests.
Not applicable means this product type is not scored on that dimension (for example BAS lodgement on a CRM). Not supported means the vendor does not offer it. Unknown means we could not verify it from public sources — that is not the same as unsupported.
Not an accounting platform. BAS lodgement stays in Xero, MYOB, Zoho Books or QuickBooks.
No native AU payroll.
No payroll.
No payroll.
Cin7 Core tax-rules help: exclusive/inclusive GST example at 10%. With Xero/QBO, tax rules are created in the accounting app and downloaded; Cin7 does not lodge BAS.
Not a bank-feeds product. Feeds stay in the accounting tool.

How this review was made
Reviews separate vendor documentation, editorial analysis and firsthand records. They are not interchangeable.
- Vendor documentation — Public pages from Cin7 and other sites. Recorded HTTP(S) URLs are listed under Sources. A source URL is a document we recorded, not a claim that every sentence on this page was checked against that URL.
- Editorial analysis — SoftwareHQ's written verdict and scores for Australian buyers. The header score is an editorial assessment, not a user-review average, not a lab result, and not a number derived from how many evidence records exist.
- Firsthand records — This review has no firsthand observation records, trial walkthroughs, or screenshots from a logged-in SoftwareHQ account. Missing tests stay not tested.
This page does not rank products by speed or security from documentation or from evidence count.
Checked by SoftwareHQ Editorial Team. There is no named author profile for this page; attribution stays with the SoftwareHQ editorial team. How we test and the editorial policy for scoring, independence and affiliate rules.
