For Accountants and Bookkeepers
Close Your Ecommerce Clients' Books Faster, Every Month
Ecommerce clients are your highest-complexity accounts. Multiple channels, thousands of transactions, marketplace fees, shipping costs, and sales tax across dozens of states, all of it needs to land in QuickBooks accurately every period. Webgility automates the data work so your team can focus on the advisory work that grows your practice.
Why Ecommerce Clients Are Different
Multichannel ecommerce creates accounting complexity that general business software and manual workflows cannot handle at scale. Webgility is built specifically for this problem.
Thousands of Transactions Per Month
High-volume ecommerce sellers generate more transactions in a week than a typical small business generates in a year. Manual data entry at this scale is not a workflow, it is a liability.
Multiple Channels, Multiple Data Formats
Shopify, Amazon, eBay, Walmart, WooCommerce, and each other channel all export data differently. Your team should not have to translate each one manually into QuickBooks every month.
Marketplace Fees That Erode Margins
Amazon, eBay, and other marketplaces deduct referral fees, FBA fees, storage fees, and advertising costs before paying out. Each of these needs to post to the correct account in QuickBooks or COGS is wrong.
Sales Tax Across Multiple Jurisdictions
Post-Wayfair, ecommerce sellers may have sales tax obligations in 30 or more states. Your client needs clean, jurisdiction-level sales data in QuickBooks to make tax filing manageable.
Inventory That Changes Constantly
Every sale, return, kit assembly, and transfer changes inventory levels. For ecommerce businesses, those changes happen simultaneously across multiple channels and need to be reflected in QuickBooks instantly.
Returns and Refunds at Volume
Ecommerce return rates can reach 20 to 30 percent in certain categories. Each return needs to reverse the original sale, restore inventory, account for restocking fees, and post correctly in QuickBooks without creating reconciliation errors.
How Webgility Helps Accountants Serve Ecommerce Clients
Webgility automates the data pipeline between your clients' ecommerce channels and QuickBooks so your team works with clean data instead of creating it.
Automated Order Sync to QuickBooks
Webgility posts every order, refund, and fee from every connected channel to QuickBooks automatically. No CSV exports, no manual entry, no end-of-month data dumps. Just clean books.
Fee and Payout Reconciliation
Webgility breaks out Amazon FBA fees, Shopify payments fees, and other platform costs and maps them to the correct QuickBooks accounts so your P&L reflects true channel profitability.
Sales Tax Mapping by Jurisdiction
Webgility maps sales tax at the city and state level into QuickBooks for granular compliance reporting. It works alongside Avalara and other sales tax tools to validate that the right tax was collected on every transaction.
Inventory Sync Across Channels
Webgility updates QuickBooks inventory with every sale, return, and restocking event across all connected channels, so your client always knows what they have and COGS stays accurate.
