All SORTS of small improvements

Now that we’re through another tax season (for those that didn’t file extensions,) we’ve released a few minor enhancements around sorting. Specifically, around sorting columns in the Income and Expense views, as well as Inventory.

Under both the Income an Expense tabs, you can now sort values based on the Amount column. Just click on the icon to the right of the column header.

Under the Inventory tab, we have also adde the ability to sort results by a number of different columns. In the Purchases sub-tab, you can now sort by Date, Purchased from and Total Amount columns:

In addition, you can also now sort by every column in the “In Stock” sub-tab and the Date and Total Amount columns under the Sold sub-tab.

Keep those customer suggestions coming and we’ll keep cranking out the improvements. Just email us at [email protected]

Export your Profit and Loss and Schedule C Tax reports

In our continued efforts to make it easier to get data out of Seller Ledger, we just added the ability to export both the Profit and Loss report and the Schedule C tax report.

Just click the “Export” button in the upper right of the Filters section and Seller Ledger will generate a comma-separate (CSV) file containing the values. You will then be taken to the Exports page under Settings (which we announced a few months ago) where you can download the file you just requested:

As always, we look forward to more customer suggestions. Keep them coming by emailing us at [email protected].

See your profit or loss in bright color

To make it easier to see trends in your business profit or loss, as well as what’s driving it, we are excited to add a new chart to the top of your Profit and Loss report, above the traditional table:

Mouse over any color on the chart to see the amount for that category, for that period.

One fun feature – if you click a category name in the legend, it will toggle that category on and off, so you can choose to isolate certain categories.

Grant an Accounting Professional access to Seller Ledger

In our ongoing efforts to streamline eCommerce accounting and bookkeeping, we’ve just rolled out the ability to invite an accounting professional to access your books in Seller Ledger.

If you work with an accountant, bookkeeper, enrolled agent, or anyone else who helps you with your accounting, it’s now quite simple to grant them access to your Seller Ledger account. Just go to newly redesigned Settings -> Business page and you’ll see a new option to invite an accounting pro:

Just click on that button, enter the email address of your accounting professional, and they will receive an invitation to link to your account. Clicking on that invitation will allow your accounting pro to create their own Seller Ledger account, with their own login details.

What will my accounting pro have access to?

Once your accounting pro has accepted your invitation s/he will be able to view all of your financial data, categorize transactions and run reports. S/he won’t be able to do the following:

  1. Add or remove connected accounts, banks or credit cards
  2. Change your billing information
  3. Change your business name

Can I revoke access?

You certainly can, at any time.

Does this feature cost extra?

Nope. Not only does it not cost you anything, but as of right now, accounting professionals can use Seller Ledger for free. Think of them as your first “extra” user on your Seller Ledger account.

As with all new features we roll out, we welcome any and all feedback to help us improve over time. Please encourage your accounting professional to also send us feedback at [email protected].

Automated accounting for Walmart Marketplace sellers is here.

Seller Ledger is pleased to announce the launch of our direct integration with Walmart Marketplace, allowing us to provide automated accounting for Walmart sellers.

Like our other automated connections, Seller Ledger will import your sales, commissions and payouts each night, automatically categorize them for tax purposes, and match payouts to your linked bank account.

Note: where several other marketplaces allow us to get a year’s worth of transaction history or more, Walmart only offers 180 days of sales and commission history. So it’s a good idea not to wait too long into a tax year to connect your account.

You can see our official listing on Walmart Marketplace’s solutions page.

Want to start selling on Walmart?

If you’d like to give selling on Walmart a try, you can sign up here. As you add more channels, feel confident knowing that Seller Ledger will organize your finances as you do.

New to Seller Ledger?

If you are a Walmart seller who’s looking to automate your accounting, you’ve come to the right place. Seller Ledger offers a 30-day free trial, no credit card required.

Thanks again to all of our Walmart beta testers who helped us get this integration off the ground and approved!

See your sales and expenses by channel with new Seller Ledger report

To help our multi-channel sellers compare metrics across sales channels, we have just released (in open beta,) a new “Channel Breakdown” report. Now you can see your sales and expenses by channel.

Sales and expense information that we import directly from each channel will show up in the proper categories. And don’t forget, we allow you to customize how all of those transactions get categorized, by channel.

In the future, we hope to make it easier to add additional channel cost information from other sources, like credit cards.

Automate your Poshmark accounting with updated Seller Ledger integration

When we first launched our Poshmark integration, the only option was to download sales history reports in CSV file format and upload them to Seller Ledger. While this provides an accurate view of your Poshmark financial performance, it required ongoing effort on your part to keep your finances up to date.

Fortunately, now users have a more automated choice. By using the Chrome browser and Seller Ledger’s custom-built Browser Extension, Poshmark sellers can now see their sales history import into Seller Ledger on a daily basis. Not only that, but we also now import your payout information (which is not included in the downloadable Sales Reports from Poshmark.)

To learn more about how to automate your Poshmark accounting, view this support article.

If you’re new to Seller Ledger and want to make your Poshmark accounting much easier, try it free for 30 days, no credit card required.

A more flexible dashboard

The “At a glance” section of the Seller Ledger dashboard hasn’t received a lot attention since we first launched. Based on feedback from customers, we recently added the ability to choose from a few time periods that you can view.

Have you ever logged into Seller Ledger and seen your data at the top of the screen changed to all zeros? Well, that’s because the default view was “This month”, which, on the first of a month, often reverts to zero because we haven’t imported any new transactions yet. It’s even more alarming when you get to January first.

Well, we’ve made a couple of changes to help with that.

First, we now offer a few different time periods to choose from:

As you can see, instead of always being “Month to date”, you can now choose “Prior 30 days” and “Year to date”.

Second, we now default to “Prior 30 days” so that this section is likely to always have data displayed.

While a small change, we hope it helps avoid some confusion and adds value to the customer experience.

Add new accounts more easily

In our continued efforts to make Seller Ledger easier to use, we rolled out some improvements to how accounts are linked and displayed on the Dashboard page

The first thing you might notice is that, if you have multiple accounts from the same sales channel or bank, they are now grouped more obviously together:

But the biggest change is the addition of the new “plus” icon within each channel/bank header:

add-new-account

Clicking this icon allows you to quickly add another account from that same bank or sales channel.

To add a new sales channel, or accounts from a new bank or credit card, you would still click the button below your accounts, now more accurately labeled “Add Channels & Banks”
