A general-purpose chart of accounts doesn't fit how an online seller makes money. Shipping you charge lands in Sales, marketplace fees, fulfillment fees and storage fees pile into one line, and anything a payout can't place falls back to a catch-all you have to clean up at month end. Fixing it by hand means creating a dozen accounts and pointing every mapping at the right one. The ecommerce standard chart of accounts does that for you. New accounts start with it, and if you're already set up, Apply ecommerce standard shows you exactly what's missing and adds only that, leaving everything you've already set exactly as it is.

Marketplaces don't pay out on the 1st of the month. An Amazon settlement deposited on August 11 can carry two weeks of July sales, so July's revenue, fees and refunds land in your August books, and every month-end close needs a manual adjustment. Month-end split fixes that for Amazon, Walmart, eBay and TikTok Shop. When a settlement or payout runs across a month end, SKU.io posts one set of documents per month: each month's lines are booked in that month, and together they still add up to the deposit.

Amazon lets every offer carry a minimum and a maximum price, and it quietly deactivates a listing whose price falls outside them. Those limits often get set in Seller Central, sometimes with the minimum and maximum equal to pin a price, and the next price SKU.io sent could land outside them. The listing stopped selling, and nothing in SKU.io said why. Amazon min/max allowed price fixes that: SKU.io now reads Amazon's limits back for every listing, checks each price against them before it goes out, and shows you every listing that's outside its limits, with a one-click fix that doesn't change your prices.

TikTok Shop pays you about once a week, and each payment covers a week of daily statements full of sales, refunds, referral and transaction fees, shipping labels, affiliate commissions and ads charges. Booking each order as its own invoice never matches what lands in your bank, and TikTok's reserve and negative balance make it worse: money TikTok holds back, or takes back from a later payout, ends up looking like a fee or a shortfall. TikTok Shop payouts fixes that. SKU.io reads every payment straight from TikTok and posts it as one sales invoice and one fee bill that add up to the deposit to the cent. It works like Shopify, eBay, Walmart and Temu payouts, so every channel now reconciles the same way.

Temu pays you every couple of weeks, and it holds part of each payout back as a rolling reserve that it releases on a later statement. Booking each order as its own invoice never matches what lands in your bank, and the reserve makes it worse: money you've earned but haven't received yet ends up looking like a fee or a shortfall. Temu payouts fixes that. You import each statement from two files you download from Temu Seller Center, and SKU.io posts it as one invoice that adds up to the deposit to the cent, with the reserve kept on your balance sheet as money Temu still owes you. It works like Shopify, eBay and Walmart payouts, so every channel now reconciles the same way.

Business buyers on Amazon see their own price: a separate Business price, plus up to five quantity discounts that lower the unit price for bigger orders. Those prices are set by hand in Seller Central, so they drift. Your consumer price changes, and the Business price doesn't, until a business buyer is paying more than everyone else, or a discount quietly takes the price below what you can afford. Amazon Business pricing lets SKU.io manage both for you. It works out the Business price and every quantity discount from your consumer price on each push, checks them against your floor, and shows you every Business offer that has gone stale.

A reseller who ships to California, Texas and Florida needs a certificate for each state, but until now a customer could hold only one exemption, and ticking Tax exempt took tax off every order they placed, even when their certificate had expired or covered a different state. That's exactly what a sales tax audit finds. Resale and tax exemption certificates gives each customer a set of certificates with their states, dates and documents. An order is created without tax only when an approved, in-date certificate covers the state it ships to, and every order shows why it was or wasn't taxed.

Walmart pays you every two weeks: one deposit for all your sales, minus commission, refunds, return-shipping charges and fees. Booking each order as its own invoice never adds up to what actually lands in your bank, so reconciling Walmart becomes a monthly chore of spreadsheets and adjusting entries. Walmart settlements fixes that. SKU.io imports Walmart's reconciliation report for every deposit and posts it to your books as one sales invoice and one fee bill that add up to the deposit to the cent. It works like Shopify and eBay payouts, so every channel now reconciles the same way.

If your warehouse prints its labels in ShipRush, every order used to mean typing it into ShipRush by hand, then copying the tracking number back so your sales channel could tell the customer it shipped. Label costs stayed in ShipRush, and nothing stopped the warehouse from shipping an order you'd already cancelled. The ShipRush integration connects the two. SKU.io keeps an order feed that ShipRush picks up on its own schedule, your team rate-shops and prints in ShipRush as usual, and each label comes straight back to SKU.io as a shipment.

Ship with Walmart gives you Walmart's negotiated carrier rates, and Walmart regularly adds shipping credits on top. But if a 3PL packs your Walmart orders, a label you buy yourself never reaches them, and they buy their own postage anyway. So you either skip Walmart's rates or pay for shipping twice. Walmart labels for 3PL orders closes that gap: SKU.io buys the Walmart label for each order going to your 3PL, sends it to them with the order, and tells them plainly to ship on it.
