E-commerce accounting is nothing like traditional bookkeeping

If you sell online, your books are inherently more complex than a traditional business. Every marketplace has its own fee structure, payout schedule, and reporting format. Amazon deposits don’t match sales because of FBA fees, referral fees, storage fees, and reimbursements. Shopify payments include transaction fees and app charges. Payment processors like Stripe and PayPal hold funds and charge varying rates. Sales tax obligations span dozens of states with different thresholds. And inventory cost of goods sold needs to be tracked accurately to know if you’re actually profitable. Generic bookkeepers try to reconcile all of this and end up with a mess of miscategorized transactions and incorrect profit numbers. Our e-commerce bookkeeping specialists understand marketplace accounting, COGS tracking, and multi-channel reconciliation. They work with the tools you already use and deliver books that show your real margins.

E-commerce Bookkeeping FAQs

E-commerce bookkeeping differs from traditional bookkeeping in several ways: marketplace payouts bundle hundreds of transactions (sales, fees, refunds, reimbursements) into single bank deposits that need to be unbundled and categorized; inventory costing requires tracking landed costs, FBA adjustments, and COGS per unit; sales tax nexus spans multiple states; and revenue recognition rules differ for pre-orders, subscriptions, and gift cards. A general bookkeeper typically miscategorizes marketplace fees, overstates or understates COGS, and can’t reconcile settlement reports - leading to inaccurate profit numbers.
We support all major platforms: Amazon (FBA and FBM), Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, Walmart Marketplace, eBay, Etsy, and Target Plus. For payment processing, we work with Stripe, PayPal, Square, Amazon Pay, and Shop Pay. Integration tools include A2X, Link My Books, and Webgility. Accounting software includes QuickBooks Online, Xero, and NetSuite.
Amazon FBA accounting is complex because settlement reports include dozens of transaction types: product sales, FBA fees, referral fees, storage fees, removal orders, reimbursements, advertising charges, and more. We use A2X or Link My Books to import settlement data into your accounting software with proper categorization. Each fee type maps to the correct expense account, refunds adjust revenue and COGS, and reimbursements are tracked separately. The result: your books match Amazon’s settlements exactly.
Yes. We track cost of goods sold using FIFO or weighted average methods, including landed costs (product cost, shipping, duties, tariffs). For FBA sellers, we account for inventory adjustments, disposals, and reimbursements. Monthly COGS calculations ensure your gross margin reporting is accurate. For businesses with complex supply chains or manufacturing, we work with your inventory management tool (Cin7, TradeGecko/QuickBooks Commerce, Ordoro) to maintain accurate unit costs.
Pricing depends on transaction volume, number of channels, and complexity. Most e-commerce businesses with 500-2,000 monthly transactions across 2-3 channels pay $1,200-$2,500/month for full-service bookkeeping. High-volume sellers (5,000+ transactions/month) or businesses with complex inventory costing may be $2,500-$4,000/month. Compare this to a US-based e-commerce bookkeeper at $3,000-$5,000/month, and the savings are substantial.
