E-commerce bookkeeping challenges
E-commerce bookkeeping problems we help bring under control.
E-commerce bookkeeping can quickly become messy when Shopify, Amazon Seller, WooCommerce, Stripe, PayPal, refunds, fees, stock and payouts are not reconciled back to the accounts properly. We help bring the sales channels, payment processors and accounting software into one clearer process, so your numbers are easier to trust.
Payouts do not match sales reports
Shopify, Amazon, WooCommerce, Stripe and PayPal payouts often include sales, fees, refunds and chargebacks, making reconciliation difficult if they are not broken down properly.
Fees and refunds are posted incorrectly
Marketplace fees, payment processor fees, refunds and adjustments can distort sales, VAT and profit if they are posted to the wrong place.
VAT on online sales becomes unclear
UK VAT, overseas sales, marketplace sales and mixed VAT rates need careful treatment so VAT returns are prepared from reliable records.
Stock, cost of sales and margins are hard to track
Product costs, stock movements, fulfilment fees and shipping costs need to be handled properly to understand real margins.
Multiple sales channels create messy records
Selling through Shopify, Amazon Seller, WooCommerce and other channels can lead to duplicated sales, missing income or unclear reporting if the systems are not connected correctly.
Bookkeeping costs rise when every order is processed individually
Where appropriate, we pull platform reports and post summary totals instead of processing every order line, helping reduce bookkeeping time and cost while keeping records clear.
What we handle
E-commerce bookkeeping support for sales channels, payouts and platform fees.
We support online sellers with the bookkeeping processes that matter most, including Shopify, Amazon Seller, WooCommerce, Stripe, PayPal, platform fees, refunds, VAT, stock, import costs, payouts and cash flow. Everything is handled through a clear process, with regular review points and practical reporting.
Summary Posting Method
Where appropriate, we pull platform reports and post summary totals rather than processing every order line, helping reduce bookkeeping time and cost while keeping records clear.
Sales Channel Reconciliation
Shopify, Amazon Seller and WooCommerce sales reconciled back to the accounting software, helping keep income records clear and complete.
Payment & Payout Reconciliation
Stripe, PayPal and marketplace payouts matched against sales, fees, refunds and adjustments, so deposits in the bank make sense.

Marketplace fees, payment processor charges, refunds and chargebacks posted correctly, helping protect sales and profit reporting.
VAT & Overseas Sales
VAT treatment reviewed across UK sales, overseas sales, marketplace sales and mixed VAT rates, helping support cleaner VAT returns.
Stock, Import Costs & Margins
Stock, cost of sales, shipping, customs declarations, import VAT, duties and overseas supplier costs tracked more clearly for margin reporting.
Client snapshot
E-commerce bookkeeping made clearer, leaner and easier to manage.
An e-commerce business selling across multiple platforms came to us with high bookkeeping costs, too many reporting categories and manual monthly processes. We reviewed the setup, gained direct access to the sales channels, simplified the chart of accounts and introduced a summary posting method where appropriate, helping reduce processing time while keeping platform fees, payouts and sales records clear.
