Practical guidance for cleaner multi-channel ecommerce accounting in Xero

Understand paid dates, daily summaries, individual invoices, refunds and gateway clearing before you automate the workflow.

Accounting dates

Why the date a customer pays can be more useful than the date the basket was created.

Posting strategy

Choose a posting model based on retail volume, trade customers and reconciliation needs.

Payment gateways

Use gateway clearing accounts to connect gross ecommerce receipts with fees and bank settlements.
