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.
  • Keeps GST and stock impact consistent — no manual recalculation stress.

4) BIZ DOCs (File & Document Management)

  • Central vault for POs, invoices, e-invoices, e-way bills, GST filings, reconciliation reports.
  • Versioning, access control, and audit trails built in.
  • Search by order ID, invoice number, vendor, date, GSTIN — find anything in seconds.

5) GST Integration (India-ready)

  • GSTR-1/3B prep with marketplace-wise, state-wise, branch-wise summaries.
  • E-invoice & e-way bill ready; validates GSTIN, POS, B2B/B2C classification.
  • Tracks ITC and reversal scenarios neatly.

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

  • Work from anywhere — founders, finance, CA — with role-based permissions.
  • Consolidated dashboards for D2C + marketplace + retail in one view.

Product-first promise: fewer clicks per transaction, fewer spreadsheets per month.

How Intelligere fits your e-commerce workflow

Order → Invoice → Settlement → Recon → GST

  • Orders in (Amazon, Flipkart, Myntra, Meesho, Shopify, WhatsApp Commerce).
  • Invoice import assigns tax logic, HSN/SAC, customer & GST details.
  • Payment settlements (PG/marketplace/COD) land in the bank.
  • BSR matches receipts, fees, refunds, shipping charges to invoices.
  • CN/DN auto-created for returns/cancellations/fee corrections.
  • GST module compiles filings; BIZ DOCs stores every proof.

What this means in practice

  • COD leakage closed: match courier remits to orders; auto-flag short remits.
  • Gateway fee clarity: split MDR/fees per order; prevent margin erosion.
  • Return chaos tamed: CN/DN issued with correct GST & stock traceability.
