About Ecommerce Accounting
A clear overview, in simple terms — what it is, why it matters, and how we handle it.
E-commerce accounting reconciles each marketplace and payment-gateway payout back to the orders, returns, commissions, shipping fees, GST TCS (0.5%) and income-tax TDS (0.1%) inside it. Without it, sellers book the payout as revenue, under-report sales for GST, miss claims for lost or damaged returns, and can't see their true margin by product or channel.
A single Amazon or Flipkart settlement can contain hundreds of orders, refunds, reimbursements and fee lines. Shopify and D2C sellers add payment-gateway settlements, COD remittances from courier partners and ad spend across platforms.
We reconcile each settlement to the order-level reports, book revenue at sale value with fees and taxes separated, track returns and reimbursement claims, and keep inventory by warehouse so stock in fulfilment centres in other states is accounted for.
The result is books that match your GST returns and marketplace tax reports, plus a margin report by channel and SKU that shows what actually makes money.
| GST TCS | 0.5% collected by marketplaces (Section 52) |
|---|---|
| Income-tax TDS | 0.1% deducted by marketplaces (Section 194-O) |
| Revenue | Booked at sale value; fees and taxes recorded separately |
| Inventory | Tracked by warehouse and state |
| Channels | Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra, Shopify, WooCommerce |
