You sell across Shopify, Stripe, maybe Amazon. Stock moves constantly. VAT gets complicated. Generic accounting software wasn't built for this — Ledgers tracks inventory at weighted-average cost, posts COGS on every sale, and surfaces true per-SKU margin you can actually trust.
You see top-line revenue from Shopify, you see bills from suppliers, you don't see what either really meant for profit. COGS gets posted as one round number at year-end (if at all). By then any pricing call is two quarters late.
Estimate. Or wait for the year-end accountant.
Auto-posted on every sale at the SKU's weighted-avg cost. P&L shows real gross margin within hours.
Spreadsheet that lies. Or count at midnight.
Live qty on hand per SKU, value at avg cost on every dashboard. Stock-in / sale / write-off as movements.
You don't know until quarterly review (or ever).
Margin per SKU surfaces in Insights when it goes negative. Caught before you reorder the dud.
Spend an hour matching the payout to fees, refunds, tips.
Stripe/Shopify payouts auto-reconcile against multiple orders + fees + refunds. The mismatch becomes one line.
Pray. Or pay a specialist.
VAT scheme + rate per SKU. Reverse charge handling for EU. Quarterly return prepared with anomaly checks.
Read the Stripe dashboard, transcribe, hope you got the right line.
Multi-currency on Scale. Real conversion rate captured + FX gain/loss posted automatically.
Stock receipts update qty + avg cost. Sales post COGS at current avg. Adjustments + write-offs flagged + JE'd. No annual stock-take spreadsheet horror.
The moment an invoice flips to paid, COGS posts: Dr COGS / Cr Inventory at the current avg cost. Gross profit accurate, monthly, automatically.
Stripe payouts, Shopify reports, Amazon settlements — all reconciled against your books. Scale tier handles USD / EUR with proper FX accounting.
Insights surface your dog SKUs and your hero SKUs. Cancel the dogs, double down on heroes — with data, not vibes.
Cash or accrual basis. Multi-rate (standard, reduced, zero, exempt). EU reverse charge. Quarterly 9-box prepared, you sign off.
Photo a paper receipt or forward a supplier email, AI extracts everything, drafts a bill. Two taps to filed.
Inventory tracking in Ledgers is at the accounting layer: qty + avg cost + JE posting. For SKU-level fulfilment, bin locations, kitting, dropshipping, multi-warehouse — keep your dedicated tool (Linnworks, Cin7, Katana). We import the movements and post the accounting.
E-com creates a lot of transactions — every Shopify payout is multiple lines, every Stripe charge is fees + refunds. Growth (£79, 400 txns) suits early stores. Scale (£179, 1,000 txns) suits established sellers with multi-currency. Custom for groups doing 2,500+/mo across entities.
Replaces Xero (£32) + A2X (£19+) + Dext (£12) + bookkeeper (£300+) = £360+/mo dropping to £79–179.
