Software
How do I connect Shopify or Amazon to my accounting software?
Short answer
Use a connector such as A2X, Link My Books or the native app to post summarised sales, fees and refunds per payout. This keeps e-commerce books accurate without importing every individual order.
Detailed answer
Reconcile the full payout
A bank deposit is usually net of fees, refunds and other adjustments, so recording it as sales can understate revenue and hide costs. A connector should produce entries that explain the gross activity and clear through a settlement account. Check currency conversion, platform taxes and reserve balances as part of the design.
Check settings and exceptions
Test sample payouts against the platform settlement report before automating the process. Map sales, fees, refunds and taxes separately, and ensure inventory and cost of goods sold are handled appropriately. Investigate unmatched settlements and avoid importing both individual orders and summary entries for the same sales.
