FreshBooks + E-commerce Sellers: Faster Bank Import
E-commerce sellers receive payments from Amazon, eBay, Shopify, and PayPal — but bank statements lump these together, making reconciliation painful. If you use FreshBooks for your accounting, you need a fast way to get bank statement data into the system.
BankScan AI for E-commerce Sellers Using FreshBooks
BankScan AI converts any bank statement PDF to CSV / OFX formatted for direct import into FreshBooks. Convert your bank statements to structured spreadsheets so you can match marketplace payouts, refunds, and fees against your sales records.
The E-commerce Sellers + FreshBooks Workflow
E-commerce sellers receive batched payouts from marketplaces and payment processors, then reconcile these against individual order records. They need to match Stripe or PayPal settlements, identify refunds and chargebacks, track advertising spend, and separate marketplace fees from net revenue. Multi-channel sellers must reconcile across several payout sources.
Key terms you'll encounter: marketplace payout, settlement report, chargeback, FBA fees.
