Accounting for Amazon, Shopify and eBay Sellers
Online sellers rarely have a bookkeeping problem in the usual sense. They have a settlement problem: one deposit hides gross sales, refunds, platform fees, advertising, shipping and reserves.
Booked as revenue, that deposit makes both margin and inventory meaningless. Broken out properly, it tells you exactly which products earn money.
What gets in the way
Where the accounting usually breaks down
Settlements booked as revenue
Net payouts recorded as sales understate revenue and hide fees, refunds and advertising entirely.
Inventory and cost of goods
Without a consistent inventory and COGS method, gross margin moves with purchase timing rather than with sales.
Sales tax and multi-channel data
Multiple platforms, marketplace facilitator rules and nexus questions create reporting that spreadsheets stop handling.
Cash tied up in stock
Profitable sellers still run out of cash because purchasing, ad spend and payout timing are never modeled together.
