For online sellers and marketplace traders in the United States
Marketplace payouts and ad spend, in a ledger that balances.
Orders, fees, refunds and stock — recorded as they happen instead of reconstructed from three dashboards.
Money arrives net of fees, refunds arrive later, and the platform report is not a set of books.

Questions online sellers and marketplace traders ask
- Can it separate fees from sales?
- Record the payout and the fee as what they are. They land in different accounts, which is the whole point of double entry.
- What about refunds?
- A refund is a reversing entry. The original sale stays on record and the balance moves, so the trail is intact.
- Will this satisfy my accountant?
- It is proper double-entry bookkeeping with a full export. That is what they ask for.
