E-commerce and online sellers

Accounting software for online sellers: payouts, fees and stock

Selling on Shopify, Amazon, Etsy or your own site? Enter each period's sales as a sales receipt, take stock out at average cost, and record the payout as a deposit with the marketplace's fees split off, so the bank line matches your statement.

For small e-commerce businesses in the US and Canada, $399.99 once. There is no store connection: you enter the totals from each platform's payout report.

No card, no account. Windows 10 and 11. United States and Canada.

What it means

In practice

Payouts that reconcile

Sales go to Undeposited Funds. When the payout lands, deposit them with the platform's fees on their own line to a fees account. The deposit equals what hit the bank.

Stock across every channel

One item list for everything you sell. Each sale takes stock out and posts cost of goods; purchase orders to your makers or suppliers put it back in.

Profit by channel

Make Shopify, Amazon and Etsy each a class. Sales, fees and shipping carry the class, and the P&L by class shows which channel actually earns.

From payout report to clean books in a few minutes

Each payout report lists sales, refunds, fees and the net sent to your bank. Enter the sales and refunds, deposit the net with the fees split off, and the books agree with the bank.

Imported bank lines can also be split across several accounts in Bank Feeds, which suits a payout that mixes sales, fees and refunds.

Questions people ask

Before you download

Does it sync with Shopify or Amazon?

No. Enter the totals from each payout report as a sales receipt and a deposit. Most sellers do it weekly or per payout.

How do I record marketplace fees?

Deposit the sales from Undeposited Funds and enter the platform's fees on the deposit's fee line, to an expense account. The bank shows the net, and so do the books.

What about sales tax the marketplace collects?

In the US, marketplaces often collect and remit the tax for you, so record those sales without tax. Charge and track tax only on sales you are responsible for; your accountant can confirm which those are.

Can I see which channel makes money?

Yes. Tag each channel's sales and costs with a class and run the P&L by class.
