Online stores generate a flood of transactions, fees, and payouts that rarely match your sales. ATS untangles it — reconciling Shopify, Amazon and Stripe payouts, handling multi-province and cross-border sales tax, and tracking your true margins — so your books are accurate and you know what you’re actually making.
Why is e-commerce bookkeeping so tricky? Online sales don’t hit your bank one-to-one: platforms like Shopify, Amazon and Stripe batch sales into payouts after deducting fees, refunds, and chargebacks, and you may owe sales tax in several provinces (or countries) at once. ATS reconciles those payouts back to actual sales, tracks fees and cost of goods for true margins, and handles multi-province GST/HST/QST — so your books reflect reality, not just what landed in the bank.
The classic e-commerce mistake is treating a Stripe or Shopify payout as revenue. It isn’t — it’s sales minus fees minus refunds, netted and delayed. Record it wrong and your revenue, your sales tax, and your margins are all off. ATS connects your sales channels and payment processors to QuickBooks or Xero, reconciles every payout to the underlying orders, tracks platform fees and cost of goods, and keeps multi-jurisdiction sales tax straight — so you get a true picture of margin by channel and product.

E-commerce breaks generic bookkeeping: the payout-vs-sales gap, multi-province tax, and high volume trip up bookkeepers who don’t live in it.
