e-Commerce (Amazon, Shopify, …)

As an e-commerce owner, it’s important to understand the nuances and complexities of your e-commerce booking – what makes it different from any other bookkeeping process? The short answer is a lot.

Understanding the differences and how to account for them will help you get the most value and insights from your financials and prevent major issues down the line. For non-eCommerce businesses, you see a deposit in your bank of $220, and you record an income of $220. For e-commerce, it’s not quite so simple. A deposit of $220 from Shopify, Amazon, or Walmart, is not $220 of income. It could mean, $300 of income, $60 of returns, and $20 of merchant fees. It could also mean that of the $220, $15 is sales tax you owe to the tax authorities. In other words, it’s complicated.
