Shopify accounting integrations that explain why a payout rarely matches the sales.

Excello runs Shopify accounting integrations for you: sales, discounts, fees, refunds and reserves from Shopify, Amazon and Noon are recorded daily, matched to every payout and reconciled inside your own QuickBooks, Xero or Odoo.

Stock quantities and cost of goods sold are kept in step, and the month closes within five business days as standard.

Why Shopify accounting is harder than it looks

The payout puzzle

Stores and marketplaces rarely pay you what you sold. They pay what is left after fees, refunds and holdbacks, often days later and in one lump sum.

Record only the deposit and your revenue looks smaller than it is, your fees disappear, and your margins stop meaning anything. Good ecommerce books start from the gross sale and account for every deduction.

  • Net payouts. The deposit in your bank is sales minus fees, refunds and adjustments, often across several days of orders.
  • Reserves. Marketplaces hold back part of your balance and release it later.
  • Refunds and chargebacks. Money that left after the sale was recorded.
  • Several channels. The same product sold on your store and two marketplaces, each paying out differently.

How Excello turns payouts into clean books

Four steps

  1. Step 01

    Recorded

    Orders and settlements from Shopify, Amazon and Noon arrive every day. Every connection is checked daily.

  2. Step 02

    Split

    Each payout is broken into gross sales, discounts, fees, refunds and reserves.

  3. Step 03

    Matched

    The net amount is matched to the deposit in your bank, and stock and cost of goods sold are updated.

  4. Step 04

    Reconciled

    At month-end, every channel, reserve and inventory balance is agreed and the month closed within five business days as standard.

Shopify accounting integrations, apps and software, channel by channel

What arrives

Shopify accounting apps move orders or payout summaries into your ledger. Shopify accounting software on its own leaves the splitting and checking to someone, and that is the part Excello does.

What each sales channel sends, and how it is split

Amazon settlements, split and matched

Marketplaces

Amazon pays sellers through settlements. Each one combines sales with referral fees, fulfillment fees, refunds, advertising charges and reserves, and only the remainder reaches your bank.

Amazon seller software for accounting pulls those settlement reports into your ledger. Excello checks that every part lands in the right account, that reserves released in later settlements are tracked, and that stock sent to Amazon warehouses is counted in your inventory.

Automated bookkeeping services for ecommerce, compared with apps

Side by side

Accounting software for ecommerce inventory and payouts can post the data. Automated bookkeeping services for ecommerce also check it, reconcile it and close the month.

Here is how running the apps yourself compares with Excello.

An app can post a payout. Someone still has to prove it.

Your store, your ledger, your access

Frequently asked questions

What are Shopify accounting integrations?

Shopify accounting integrations connect your store to accounting software, so orders, fees, refunds and payouts reach your books without retyping. Excello runs them into your QuickBooks, Xero or Odoo, with accountants checking every payout.

Why does my Shopify payout not match my sales?

Shopify pays out after deducting processing fees, refunds and adjustments, and a payout can cover several days of orders. Recording gross sales and each deduction separately makes the payout match the bank deposit.

How does Amazon seller data reach the books?

Excello connects to your Amazon seller account and records orders, fees and refunds daily. When each settlement is paid, it is split into sales, fees, refunds, advertising and reserves in your QuickBooks, Xero or Odoo, and matched to the deposit.

Can Excello handle other marketplaces?

Shopify, Amazon and Noon are connected directly. Sales from WooCommerce, Etsy, TikTok Shop, eBay, Walmart and other stores are handled from their exports and reports on a regular schedule, and reconciled at every month-end close.

How do I give my accountant access to Shopify?

Shopify lets the store owner add staff or collaborator accounts with only the permissions you choose. You can remove that access at any time, and the store and its data stay under your ownership.

Does Excello track inventory for ecommerce stores?

Yes. Stock quantities and item records are kept up to date alongside inventory value and cost of goods sold, using the sales, returns and purchases from each of your channels.
