eCommerce Accounting: How to Automate Shopify & WooCommerce Financials

"You sell online. Your accounting should happen online too — automatically."

You sell online. Your accounting should happen online too — automatically. Most Shopify and WooCommerce merchants still export CSV files and manually reconcile orders with their accounting software. That process breaks every month.

The Problem

eCommerce accounting has specific challenges:

  • Orders come in 24/7 — manual entry can't keep up
  • Refunds need to be properly accounted for (not just subtracted from revenue)
  • GST on mixed-rate items (digital vs physical goods) needs correct treatment
  • Payment processor fees (Stripe, PayPal) need to be tracked as expenses
  • Multi-currency orders need proper AUD conversion

The XIntelliSync Solution

Connect Shopify (OAuth) or WooCommerce (API key) and orders flow directly into your financials:

  • Revenue appears in your P&L by product category
  • Refunds are tracked as separate line items — not netted from gross revenue
  • GST is calculated per order based on your tax configuration
  • Cash flow reflects actual payment settlement cycles
  • COGS is calculated if you track inventory

Common Questions

Can I connect both Shopify and WooCommerce?

Yes. You can connect multiple eCommerce platforms simultaneously. Orders from each platform import separately and are clearly tagged by source.

How is GST handled on eCommerce orders?

GST is calculated based on your tax settings and the destination of each order. Australian orders include 10% GST automatically. Export orders may be GST-free depending on your configuration.
