E-commerce & Web Shops
E-commerce bookkeeping has a structural quirk that catches a lot of online sellers out: the money that hits your bank account from a marketplace or payment provider is never the same as the money customers actually paid. It's a net payout, after fees, refunds, and sometimes reserves have already been deducted.
What Makes This Industry Different
A single payout might represent dozens or hundreds of individual orders, minus platform fees, minus a handful of refunds, sometimes spanning several days of sales. Treating that payout as a single bank line — the way simple bookkeeping tools do — throws away the detail needed for accurate VAT reporting and makes it impossible to see true margins.
Why It Matters
Multiple payment providers compound the problem: a seller using more than one marketplace or payment gateway ends up with several different payout patterns to reconcile, each with its own fee structure and timing, on top of whatever direct bank transactions the business also has.
How It Works for You
FiscFort reconciles net marketplace and payment-provider payouts against the underlying gross sales and fees, rather than treating every payout as one unexplained bank line. Connect your payment provider exports and bank statements, and the system rebuilds the real picture — orders, fees, and refunds — ready for accurate VAT reporting.
