Why you need cloud accounting for eCommerce business?
We’ve been doing this for some time and we noticed that more and more e-commerce businesses are having serious problems with accounting and reconciling their Amazon, Shopify of WooCommerce transactions. The problem is that the traditional accounting software like Sage are desktop based and they have no real time connection with other applications which register e-commerce transactions.
Xero cloud accounting is different.
It integrates smoothly with most common eCommerce application and your e-shop transactions will flow seamlessly to the accounting system. This will make the reconciliation much easier and will save you tons of time needed for processing manual entries.

E-commerce businesses do not always realise that eventually they will need to account for all these transactions which flow through their online shop. Many of them try to manage online sales using spreadsheets and the reconciliation to the accounting system seems a never-ending story. And I agree. This can be a nightmare.
