Reliable multichannel marketplace reconciliation for small businesses
A SaaS platform that connects Amazon Seller Central, eBay, Etsy, Xero, and QuickBooks, then converts marketplace settlement reports into clean, auditable accounting entries. It would automatically separate sales, refunds, fees, shipping, taxes, reserves, and payouts; match transactions to bank deposits; flag discrepancies; and provide a sandbox or trial mode so sellers and accountants can validate the integration before subscribing.
The problem
E-commerce sellers using Amazon FBA, eBay, and Etsy struggle to reconcile marketplace settlements, fees, refunds, and sales transactions in accounting tools such as Xero. Amazon is especially difficult, with CSV imports and existing integrations still requiring substantial manual matching and cleanup. Sellers also face uncertainty about whether integrations will work for their specific setup before committing to a paid plan.
