How We Work

How the Ecommerce Bookkeeping Process Works

A service-specific close workflow connects ecommerce source reports to categorized books, reconciled settlements and review-ready financial reports.

1

Collect Store Data

Confirm channels, accounting records, bank activity, payout files and the required reporting period.

2

Review Transactions

Check sales, refunds, fees, expenses and other activity that needs to be classified in the books.

3

Map Payouts

Break settlement activity into its agreed components instead of treating the bank deposit as unexplained revenue.

4

Reconcile Accounts

Match bank, card and payout activity and identify items that need clarification or supporting records.

5

Quality Review

Review classifications, reconciliation status, opening balances and period consistency within the agreed scope.

6

Deliver Close Pack

Provide the agreed bookkeeping outputs and review notes for a clearer monthly financial position.

Ecommerce Reconciliation

A Payout Is More Than One Bank Deposit

Ecommerce bookkeeping needs a clear trail from customer sales activity to the net amount received. The exact data differs by channel, but the logic remains focused on separating what happened before the settlement reached the bank.

Gross sales activity
Sales recorded according to the agreed bookkeeping method
Fees & charges
Marketplace, processor or service fees categorized separately
Refunds & returns
Refund activity identified so it does not disappear inside net settlements
Adjustments
Other settlement adjustments reviewed and mapped within scope
Net payout
Matched to the corresponding bank deposit and reconciliation trail

What the Bookkeeping Trail Should Make Easier to Review

The goal is not a decorative dashboard. It is a traceable monthly record that connects ecommerce activity to the ledger and the bank.

Revenue trailSales activity is separated from payout deductions.
Fee visibilityPlatform and payment costs are easier to identify in the books.
Refund treatmentRefunds and returns are reviewed as part of the settlement flow.
Bank matchingNet settlement amounts can be tied back to bank activity.
Inventory contextInventory or COGS records can be incorporated when the scope and data support it.
Month-end reviewOpen questions are surfaced before the reporting pack is finalized.

FAQ

Questions About Ecommerce Bookkeeping

Key questions about scope, pricing, data requirements, reconciliation, setup and ongoing bookkeeping support.

What is ecommerce bookkeeping?

Ecommerce bookkeeping organizes sales, marketplace payouts, payment-gateway activity, fees, refunds, expenses, bank movements and other agreed records so your books can be reconciled and reviewed consistently.

What is included in the Ecommerce Bookkeeping service?

Scope can include transaction categorization, bank and card reconciliation, marketplace or payment-payout reconciliation, fee and refund mapping, agreed COGS or inventory bookkeeping support, month-end review and standard financial reports. The exact scope is confirmed before work begins.

How much does ecommerce bookkeeping cost?

Rudrriv plans start at $50 USD per month for a focused low-volume, single-channel bookkeeping scope. A broader growth plan is $299 USD per month, while multi-channel or high-volume requirements are quoted after scope review.

How long does setup take?

The standard initial setup and first review window is 5–7 working days after the required records and access are available. Ongoing monthly close timing is agreed according to transaction volume and reporting needs.

Which ecommerce sales channels can be included?

The bookkeeping scope can be built around exports or reports from common ecommerce marketplaces, storefronts and payment providers. Tell us which channels you use so the reconciliation workflow can be scoped around your actual data.

Can you reconcile marketplace payouts to bank deposits?

Yes, payout reconciliation can be included. The bookkeeping workflow can separate gross sales, platform fees, refunds, adjustments and other agreed components before matching the net settlement to the corresponding bank activity.

Can you support inventory and cost of goods sold bookkeeping?

Inventory and COGS support can be included when the required inventory records, purchase data and accounting method are available. More complex inventory accounting may require a larger or custom scope.

What information do you need from my ecommerce business?

Typical inputs include accounting-system access or exports, bank and card statements, marketplace settlement reports, payment-gateway reports, sales and refund data, expense records, inventory or purchase information where relevant, and prior-period balances if continuity is required.

Can you clean up old ecommerce bookkeeping?

Catch-up or cleanup work can be scoped separately. The amount of work depends on how many periods are outstanding, transaction volume, number of channels, data quality and whether earlier balances need to be reconstructed.

Do you file taxes or sales tax as part of bookkeeping?

Tax filing is not automatically included in the bookkeeping plans shown on this page. If tax, sales-tax, GST or other compliance support is required, it should be confirmed separately so the correct scope and responsible professionals can be identified.

Can the service be customized for a multi-channel store?

Yes. Multi-channel stores often need additional payout mapping, fee categories, inventory coordination and consolidated reporting. Rudrriv can review the channel mix and provide a custom scope rather than forcing the work into a standard plan.

How do I get started?

Choose the closest plan or submit the enquiry form with your channels, approximate monthly volume and current bookkeeping situation. Rudrriv will review the requirement and confirm scope, timing and next steps before work begins.
