Why e-commerce accounting is uniquely hard (and how to fix it)
Indian online sellers juggle multi-channel orders, payment gateways, COD settlements,
returns/partial refunds, marketplace fees, and ever-moving GST rules. Spreadsheets crack
under this weight. Legacy desktop tools weren’t built for order-level tax logic, fast
reconciliations, or branch-wise visibility.
Intelligere solves this with a cloud-native, automation-first stack tuned for Indian
e-commerce, from GST-ready invoicing and CN/DN to lightning-fast bank/PG/marketplace
reconciliation.
Intelligere’s Hero Features for E-commerce
1) Bank Statement Reconciliation (BSR)
- Auto-match settlements from banks/payment gateways to orders, invoices, and fees.
- Handles partial payouts, T+N delays, aggregated batches, chargebacks.
- Rule engine flags mismatches, short-pays, duplicates, so you recover revenue faster.
2) Invoice Import (Bulk & API)
- Pull invoices from Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento or upload CSV in seconds.
- Auto-assign HSN/SAC, GST rates, place of supply, and reverse-charge where applicable.
- De-duplicates intelligently & preserves original order IDs for audit trails.
3) CN/DN Automation (Returns, Exchanges, Fee
Adjustments)
- Auto-generate Credit/Debit Notes for returns, cancellations, partial refunds,
promotions, and fee corrections.

reports.
- Versioning, access control, and audit trails built in.

5) GST Integration (India-ready)
- GSTR-1/3B prep with marketplace-wise, state-wise, branch-wise summaries.

6) Cloud Access (Multi-user, Multi-branch)

- Consolidated dashboards for D2C + marketplace + retail in one view.
Product-first promise: fewer clicks per transaction, fewer
spreadsheets per month.
