Ecommerce bookkeeping that accounts for every payout. Fees, refunds and all.
One payout lands in the bank. Behind it sit hundreds of orders, marketplace commission, refunds and shipping costs, spread across every channel you sell on. Dext brings them together, codes them and hands your accounting software records that are right on arrival.
Built for peak season. Not just the first hundred orders.
No credit card required.
Selling gets easier with each channel. Bookkeeping doesn’t.
A marketplace, a storefront, a card reader and a payment provider each settle on their own schedule, net of their own fees. Every one of them describes the same sale differently. Dext is the intelligent bookkeeping platform that sits in front of your ledger. With the Commerce Lite add-on it takes the sales, fees and refunds behind each payout, puts them alongside your supplier invoices, and sends one coded, accurate set of records to the accounting software you already use.
With Dext, you can:
Read sales, fees, refunds and payouts from every channel in one place
Have online transactions categorised and given the right tax treatment as they arrive
Trace a payout in the bank back to the orders, commission and refunds behind it
Keep stock, packaging and shipping invoices with the sales they paid for, ready for tax time
The admin that grew with every channel. Handed over.
One deposit, hundreds of orders. Matched without the guesswork.
Sales, marketplace commission, refunds and shipping costs are gathered against the payout they came from, so a settlement that used to take an afternoon to unpick takes a glance instead.
Mis-coded fees are an expensive kind of mistake. Dext catches them first.
Transactions are categorised and rated correctly on the way in, so the discrepancies that normally turn up at quarter-end are settled before your books ever see them.
A thousand orders or ten thousand. Same amount of admin.
Volume is where manual ecommerce bookkeeping gives way. Dext treats a peak trading week exactly as it treats a quiet one, so growth shows up in your revenue rather than in your evenings.
Tax rates vary by channel and by country. Applied for you, either way.
Records reach your accounting software already categorised and rated as you trade, so filing a VAT or sales tax return means reviewing figures that are sitting there waiting.
What ecommerce bookkeeping needs. Built into one platform.
Whether you sell through one storefront or five marketplaces, Dext with the Commerce Lite Add-On covers both halves of your ledger: the money arriving from your channels and the supplier costs behind it.
Separate jobs. One set of books at the end of them.
Five channels reporting separately. One place to read them.
Each channel reports on its own schedule and in its own format. Dext lines them up, so what you sold this week is a single figure rather than five exports and a bit of arithmetic.
The payout is the net figure. Dext shows the gross.
Marketplace commission, processing fees, refunds and reimbursements are separated out and recorded against the sales they belong to, so margin is something you can read rather than estimate.
Thousands of orders, each one coded. Tax treatment included.
Dext applies your categories and the correct tax treatment to online transactions automatically, at over 99% accuracy, so what arrives in your books wants reviewing rather than repairing.
Stock, packaging and shipping invoices. Filed with the sales they paid for.
Selling is only half your ledger. Dext captures supplier invoices however they arrive, reads the details off each one and codes the cost, so the money going out is as organised as the money coming in.
Your books stay current while you trade. Not after the quarter closes.
Once sales and costs are organised, Dext keeps the accounting software you already use up to date as the transactions happen, so the numbers you are looking at are this week's.

The questions online sellers ask first. Answered plainly.
Ecommerce bookkeeping is the work of turning everything that happens on your sales channels into one accurate set of books: sales, marketplace and payment fees, refunds, shipping, supplier costs and the right tax treatment on each. Ecommerce bookkeeping software does the collecting and the coding for you, so a payout sitting in the bank can be traced back to the orders behind it.
Dext brings your online sales, fees and refunds together with your supplier invoices, categorises each one, applies the correct tax rate and sends accurate records into the accounting software you already use. Your books stay current while you are still trading, rather than being rebuilt at quarter-end.
Commerce Lite connects to major ecommerce platforms including eBay, Etsy, Shopify, and Squarespace.
Usually that is the first thing to go. Dext consolidates sales across your channels, categorises transactions automatically and syncs the records to your accounting software, so the spreadsheet that sat between your channels and your books has nothing left to do.
