Marketplaces and processors deposit a net number — gross sales minus fees, refunds, chargebacks, and ad spend, sometimes across several settlement periods. Recording that deposit as revenue understates both sales and expenses, and makes margin impossible to read.
Gross, not net
Platform payouts broken back out into sales, fees, refunds, and chargebacks.
Margin per channel
Revenue reported by platform so you see which channel actually earns.
Nexus watched
Sales tracked by state against each threshold, before you cross one.
COGS that ties
Inventory and cost of goods reconciled across every channel you sell on.
What we handle
- Reconciling platform and processor settlements to bank deposits, gross rather than net
- Separating merchant fees, refunds, chargebacks, and shipping into their own accounts
- Inventory and cost-of-goods-sold tracking across channels
- Sales tax tracked by state, including marketplace-facilitator versus seller-collected
- Multi-channel revenue reported by platform so you see which channel earns
Common problems we fix
- Net deposits booked as revenue, so both sales and fees are understated
- No idea which channel or SKU is actually profitable
- Nexus triggered in states nobody was tracking
