Bookkeeping for Shopify sellers in the Rio Grande Valley reconciles payment processor payouts against your storefront's actual sales, tracks the app and subscription fees that quietly add up every month, and shows true product margin after shipping costs — not just what your dashboard reports as revenue.
Shopify's own dashboard reports gross sales, but the money that actually reaches the bank comes from a payment processor — usually Shopify Payments, Stripe, or PayPal — that deposits sales minus processing fees on its own schedule, sometimes days after the order. When that processor deposit doesn't match the storefront's sales report, most sellers just record whatever number shows up in the bank feed, which understates real revenue and hides the true cost of accepting payments.
Running a Shopify store also means paying for a stack of apps — for email marketing, upsells, reviews, inventory management, subscriptions, and dozens of other functions — each billed monthly or annually, often through a separate charge that doesn't show up clearly next to the sales it's supporting. Individually these subscriptions look small; added together across a dozen or more apps, they can quietly become one of the largest fixed costs in the business, and most sellers couldn't list what they're currently paying for if asked.
Shipping is the other margin-killer. A flat shipping rate charged to the customer rarely matches the actual carrier cost, and free-shipping thresholds meant to boost average order value can turn a marginal sale into a loss once the real shipping bill comes in. Without tracking shipping cost against each order, sellers often don't realize a product line is unprofitable until they've been promoting it for months.
Here's how we make sense of Shopify's moving pieces:
Payment processor payouts — Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal — are reconciled against your storefront sales reports, so processing fees and payout timing are accounted for instead of hidden inside a bank deposit.
App and subscription charges are tracked and categorized monthly, so you have a clear, current list of what you're actually paying for and can spot subscriptions that have quietly stopped earning their keep.
Shipping costs are tracked against actual orders, not the flat rate charged to customers, so you can see whether free-shipping thresholds and flat rates are actually cutting into margin.
Product-level cost of goods, combined with processing fees and shipping, shows true margin per product — the number that should drive pricing and promotion decisions.
Shopify sellers across the Valley run everything from home-based storefronts to small warehouse operations, often alongside other online sales channels. We support Shopify sellers based in:
Your payment processor — Shopify Payments, Stripe, or PayPal — deposits sales minus processing fees on its own schedule, so the bank deposit is never the same number as gross sales. We reconcile the two so your books show accurate revenue and the real cost of accepting payments.
Yes. We categorize every app and subscription charge monthly, giving you a clear running total of what your Shopify stack actually costs — which for many sellers turns out to be a bigger number than expected once it's all added up in one place.
We track actual shipping cost against each order rather than the flat rate charged to the customer, so you can see whether your shipping policy — including any free-shipping threshold — is helping conversion or quietly cutting into your margin.
