Our Service
ECOMMERCE & SHOPIFY SELLERS
Ecommerce Accounting Services for Amazon and Online Sellers
: Understand the true performance of your online business with accounting built for marketplace data, payment gateways and high-volume transactions. SNS Accountancy supports Amazon sellers, Shopify stores, eBay businesses, Etsy sellers and multi-channel ecommerce brands across the UK. We reconcile platform payouts, fees, refunds, VAT, inventory and payment processors so your accounts reflect what was sold, what was received and what the business actually earned.
What's Included
Marketplace Payout Reconciliation
Amazon, eBay, Etsy and other marketplace settlements reconciled against sales, fees, refunds, reserves and the amounts received in the bank.
Shopify & Payment Gateway Accounting
Shopify sales and payment processors such as Stripe or PayPal mapped and reconciled so clearing balances do not remain unexplained.
Amazon Accounting
Accounting for Amazon settlement reports, marketplace fees, refunds, advertising charges and other deductions that affect reported revenue and margin.
VAT & Ecommerce Tax Records
Sales and transaction data organised to support UK VAT records, marketplace treatment and tax preparation based on the seller’s actual supply chain.
Inventory & Cost of Goods Sold
Inventory purchases, landed costs and cost of sales information structured to provide a more realistic view of gross profit.
Multi-Channel Performance Reporting
Consolidated reporting across sales channels, currencies and payment providers to show revenue, fees, costs and profitability more clearly.
Service Benefits
Know Your Real Profit Across Every Sales Channel
Marketplace deposits rarely equal gross sales. Fees, refunds, advertising, reserves, VAT and payment timing can distort the picture if they are posted as a single bank receipt. Our ecommerce accounting services separate those movements and turn platform reports into clearer financial information.
Benefits
- Accurate reconciliation of marketplace and payment gateway payouts
- Clear separation of sales, fees, refunds, reserves and advertising costs
- Better visibility over gross margin and channel profitability
- More reliable VAT and year-end accounting records
- Reduced risk of duplicate or missing marketplace transactions
- Reporting that supports pricing, inventory and growth decisions

Why SNS Consultancy
Ecommerce Accountants Who Understand Marketplace Reports
Platform-Specific Knowledge
The workflow recognises that marketplace settlements contain multiple transaction types, not just one sales figure.
Multi-Channel Reconciliation
Sales channels, payment gateways and bank receipts are connected so outstanding clearing balances can be explained.
Commercial Reporting
Reporting focuses on fees, margin, inventory and channel performance - the figures online sellers need to manage growth.
UK Compliance Support
Ecommerce records are organised to support UK accounting and tax requirements while recognising that VAT treatment depends on the actual transaction facts.
FAQs
Do you provide accounting for Amazon sellers?
Yes. Amazon accounting can include settlement reconciliation, fees, refunds, advertising charges, VAT records, inventory information and reporting across one or more marketplaces.
Which ecommerce platforms do you support?
The service can support Amazon, Shopify, eBay, Etsy and other channels, together with payment platforms such as Stripe or PayPal. Confirm the exact integrations during onboarding.
Why does my marketplace payout not match my sales?
A payout may include fees, refunds, reserves, taxes, advertising charges and transactions from different dates. Reconciliation separates these movements and matches the net deposit to the bank.
Can you help with ecommerce VAT?
Yes. We can organise sales and marketplace data for UK VAT work. The correct treatment depends on factors such as seller location, goods location, customer status, marketplace involvement and the value and route of the supply.
Do you work with overseas sellers trading in the UK?
Potentially, yes. The onboarding review must first establish where the business and goods are located, how products reach UK customers and which party is responsible for the relevant VAT treatment.
How much do ecommerce accounting services cost?
Pricing depends on sales volume, number of marketplaces, currencies, payment gateways, inventory complexity, VAT requirements and the quality of the existing records.
