Why ecommerce accounting is different from regular accounting
An ecommerce order is never just a sale. It carries fees, taxes, returns, settlements and inventory events. Here is how one order becomes many accounting events.
One order creates a sale, a set of marketplace charges, GST events, settlement and payouts, and inventory movements — each with its own accounting treatment.
AccountingOrder-wise accounting, explained in plain words
What it means to account every ecommerce order as its own set of journal entries — and why it beats daily sales summaries.
Instead of a daily sales total, each order produces its own revenue, charge, tax and settlement entries that can be traced back to the marketplace order.
ProfitabilityHow marketplace charges quietly change your profitability
Commission, fees, shipping, and settlement deductions appear after the sale. Here is how to understand the platform's real cost and see true margin.
Real platform cost is buried in settlement reports. Breaking charges per order is what turns marketplace data into true product-level profitability.
ReconciliationWhat payment reconciliation really means for marketplace sellers
Settlements pool hundreds of orders into one net payment. Reconciliation is how expected, earned, deducted and received come back into agreement.
A settlement is not a payment for one order — it is the net of sales, charges, refunds and taxes across many orders. Reconciling it means explaining every rupee.
GSTHow TCS and TDS appear in marketplace accounting
Ecommerce marketplaces collect TCS on sales and deduct TDS on merchant payments. Here is what both mean for your receivable and your GST-ledger reconciliation.
TCS is collected on the sale and remitted to the government; TDS is withheld by the marketplace on payments to you. Both must be captured per order to reconcile GST returns and receivables.
GSTHow GST flows from an order into your ERP
Follow one order's GST data — taxable value, rate, output tax, input tax, plus TCS — from the marketplace down to GST-wise accounting and ERP posting.
GST is not a single number per order. Sales, marketplace charges and reverse situations each carry their own taxable value and rate, and each needs its own line in accounting.
ERPWhy ecommerce needs an accounting layer between marketplaces and the ERP
Your ERP is built for postings, not for marketplace feeds. The accounting layer is what turns raw ecommerce data into ERP-ready accounting.
The ERP is the system of record. The accounting layer is what makes the ERP ecommerce-ready — feeding it order-wise, GST-wise, warehouse-wise entries it can actually process.
InventoryWarehouse-wise accounting: why inventory must be tracked where it moves
Stock transfers and multi-warehouse fulfilment create accounting events that are not sales. Here is how warehouse-wise movement stays traceable.
A stock transfer is not revenue and not a cost — it is a movement between locations that still must land accurately in the books and the ERP warehouse masters.
