Choose your starting point
Five parts of reliable Shopify books.
Start with the problem in front of you. Every guide belongs to one primary hub, so the next accounting step stays clear.
Payouts & reconciliation
Explain every Shopify deposit from gross sales through refunds, fees, adjustments, clearing, and the final bank match.
QuickBooks setup
Choose a clean Shopify–QuickBooks workflow, design the chart of accounts, and prevent overlapping integrations from duplicating activity.
Month-end close
Close Shopify with complete payout coverage, correct cut-off, reviewed journals, matched cash, and documented exceptions.
Tax & VAT
Keep Shopify tax liabilities separate from sales and cash while reconciling US sales tax or UK VAT in QuickBooks.
COGS & profitability
Record product costs and liabilities correctly so Shopify gross profit is based on economic activity rather than net deposits.
