Built for this industry
E-commerce businesses collect revenue through platforms that net out fees, refunds, and holds before anything reaches the bank — so what hit the bank and what you actually sold are two different numbers that need to be reconciled separately.
Why it differs
Ecommerce accounting services reconcile what your platforms say you sold against what reached the bank after fees, refunds and holds. Juris CFO separates revenue, fees, returns, inventory cost and sales tax so you can see margin by channel.
Ecommerce accounting services cover payouts, processing fees, refunds, inventory and sales tax. A payout is a net figure that bundles many orders, fees and adjustments, so a deposit alone is not a sale.
An ecommerce accountant records gross sales, refunds and fees as separate lines, then reconciles the total to the deposit. DTC accounting by channel shows which sales actually earn a profit.
Platforms
Shopify bookkeeping centers on payouts that bundle orders, fees and refunds. Amazon seller bookkeeping adds referral, fulfillment, storage and advertising charges in each settlement.
Ecommerce bookkeeping services break each payout into components and investigate any difference rather than parking it in a suspense account.

FAQ
