Track Off-site and Cash Sales
While we pride ourselves on providing the most automated accounting solution for eCommerce sellers, there will always be circumstances where a seller conducts business in person, or on a platform what doesn’t offer much in the way of connectivity.
For those cases, we’ve rolled out improved order history tracking for off-site and cash sales.
Step 1: Create an account to track those off-site or cash sales
We just rolled out the ability to create/add a new type of asset account that you can use to track these sales. From your dashboard, click the “Add Channels, Banks and Accounts” button and, if you scroll to the bottom of the next screen, you’ll see the following option:
This can be a “Cash” account, or an account to track sales from other online marketplaces like Facebook Marketplace, TCGplayer, StockX and more. Just name your account and you’re off to the races.
Step 2: Add your order details
Click into your newly created account from your Dashboard, and you’ll see a new button called “Add order” in the upper right:
Clicking on that button will bring up a much more detailed transactions screen that not only lets you enter the regular information like date, customer, and amount, but will also let you record the item(s) that you sold:
If you scroll down, you will also see that we allow you to enter additional information about each order, including:
- Any shipping you may have collected from the buyer
- Any sales tax you may have collected (or had collected for you)
- Any fees that may have been incurred (for example, by a non-connected marketplace that this order sold through
- Any shipping labels or other shipping costs you had to pay
- If a part of this order was donated to charity
As a reminder, the more details you can record that are tied to an order, the better able Seller Ledger is to tell you the EXACT net profit you make on every sale.
And as a reminder, you can always us the regular “Add transaction” button to record things like payouts (remember – they are transfers,) non-order fees, etc.
