Our Shopify Accounting Process

From Store Activity to Reconciled Month-End Books

The workflow follows the financial path of a Shopify order so sales activity, deductions and cash settlement can be traced rather than treated as unrelated totals.

01

Collect

Gather Shopify sales, payout, refund, bank and supporting accounting records for the agreed period.

02

Map

Separate gross sales, discounts, refunds, platform charges and other relevant transaction components.

03

Reconcile

Trace Shopify payout batches and payment activity to the amounts reflected in the financial records.

04

Cost

Incorporate reliable inventory and cost-of-goods-sold inputs where they are included in the scope.

05

Close

Review balances, unresolved exceptions and the accounting treatment needed to complete the period.

06

Report

Deliver the agreed bookkeeping outputs, statements, close notes and any open-item handover.

The Shopify Payout Gap

Why Store Sales Rarely Equal the Bank Deposit

Shopify accounting becomes unreliable when the gross storefront number is posted as if it were the cash received. A payout can contain several financial movements that need to be separated and reconciled.

Refunds and adjustmentsReturns, refunds and reversals can reduce the amount ultimately settled.
Fees and payment deductionsCharges need their own accounting treatment instead of disappearing inside net deposits.
Payout timingStore activity and bank settlement can fall into different dates or accounting periods.
Inventory and COGS inputsRevenue alone does not show product economics when cost data is missing or misaligned.

Illustrative Payout Bridge

A reconciliation explains how gross store activity becomes a net payout rather than forcing the bank deposit to stand in for sales.

Accounting Coverage

The Shopify Financial Activity We Organize

Each component is handled according to the selected plan and the records available for the engagement.

Sales Capture

Organize store sales activity so gross revenue is recorded separately from downstream settlement movements.

Refunds & Returns

Separate refund and adjustment activity so returns do not remain hidden inside net payout totals.

Fees & Deductions

Classify platform, payment or other agreed charges instead of posting every difference as an unexplained variance.

Payout Reconciliation

Connect Shopify payout batches to the relevant financial records and identify exceptions that need evidence.

COGS Inputs

Use reliable cost and inventory information where supplied and included in the accounting scope.

Month-End Close

Review transaction categories, balances and open items before the period is finalized for reporting.

Record Discipline

Maintain a clearer source-to-entry trail so questions can be traced back to supporting store and payout information.

Reporting Handover

Deliver the agreed financial summaries plus concise notes on unresolved items requiring customer input.

Before and After Service

Move From Payout Guesswork to a Traceable Accounting Close

The service is designed to improve the organization and visibility of your Shopify books without making unsupported performance promises.

Before Shopify Accounting

  • !
    Bank deposits are treated as sales without a clear payout bridge.
  • !
    Refunds, fees and adjustments are bundled together or inconsistently categorized.
  • !
    Month-end balances contain unexplained differences and unresolved store activity.
  • !
    COGS or inventory inputs are disconnected from the sales period they relate to.
  • !
    Reporting depends on manual spreadsheets that are difficult to trace back to source records.

After the Agreed Scope

  • Shopify sales and payout activity are organized into a clearer reconciliation trail.
  • Refunds, fees and relevant deductions are separately visible in the books.
  • Open exceptions are identified rather than silently forced into a balancing number.
  • Reliable cost inputs can be incorporated where they are part of the selected package.
  • Month-end outputs are easier to review because source activity, reconciliation and reporting are connected.

Backlog Before Reporting or Tax Work

Actual work depends on your records, transaction volume, accounting status and selected scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

Shopify Accounting FAQs

Answers to the practical questions store owners and finance teams usually need resolved before starting.

What does Shopify accounting include?

Shopify accounting organizes the financial activity behind your store, including sales, discounts, refunds, platform fees, payment-gateway activity, payouts, cost of goods sold inputs and month-end reporting. The exact scope depends on the package and the records you provide.

How is Shopify accounting different from basic bookkeeping?

Shopify bookkeeping has to bridge the gap between storefront activity and the amounts that reach your bank. That means separating fees, refunds, taxes or other deductions from gross sales and reconciling payout batches so the accounting trail can be followed.

What information do you need from my Shopify store?

Typical inputs include Shopify sales and payout exports, bank or payment statements, refund information, opening balances, inventory or cost data, and your existing accounting records where applicable. We confirm the exact input list before work begins.

How much does Shopify Accounting cost?

Rudrriv Shopify Accounting starts at $20 USD for the Reconciliation Starter package. Larger or more complex stores can choose the $75 Monthly Close or $155 Finance Pack, while multi-store, backlog or unusual scopes are quoted separately.

How long will the work take?

The standard delivery window is 5–7 working days after the required records and access or exports are available. Larger backlogs, multiple stores or incomplete records may require a custom timeline.

Can you reconcile Shopify payouts to my bank activity?

Yes. Payout reconciliation is a core part of the service. We trace the components that make up Shopify payout activity and compare the resulting net amounts with the financial records included in the agreed scope.

Can you help if my Shopify books are behind or messy?

Yes. We can review a cleanup or catch-up requirement and define a scope based on how many periods are outstanding, transaction volume, available supporting records and the level of reconciliation needed. Backlog work may require a custom quote.

Do you handle inventory and cost of goods sold?

The service can incorporate inventory and cost-of-goods-sold inputs when reliable source information is available. The depth of inventory accounting depends on the selected package, your records and the complexity of the store.

Can the service support a multi-currency or multi-channel business?

A broader ecommerce setup can be scoped, but multiple currencies, payment processors, marketplaces or legal entities increase reconciliation complexity. We review those requirements before confirming price and delivery.

What will I receive at the end of the engagement?

Depending on the selected package, you receive reconciled bookkeeping outputs, categorized transaction records, month-end summaries, financial statements or close notes, together with a clear handover of any open items that still need your input.

Can Shopify Accounting be customized for my store?

Yes. If the listed plans do not fit your order volume, backlog, reporting needs, payment setup or number of stores, use the enquiry form and we will scope a custom service.

How do I get started?

Choose a plan or submit the Shopify Accounting enquiry form with your store volume, current accounting status and the main issue you want solved. Rudrriv can then confirm the records required, final scope, price and delivery window.
