What is Link My Books and how can it support ecommerce?

by | May 6, 2021 | The Explorer

When managing your tax, it’s important to use the tools around you to make the job as painless and stress-free as possible, but what does Link My Books have to with that?

Well, we recognise that the time of any business owner is valuable, which is why efficiency and automation are at the heart of the services we offer.

A major part of that is making use of the latest apps and software to help automate manual tasks and generate the right data.

One great example of that philosophy in action is Link My Books.

What is Link My Books?

Link My Books has been designed to support Amazon, Ebay and native ecommerce merchants with their bookkeeping through accurate and automatic reporting.

The software integrates seamlessly with platforms such as Xero and QuickBooks, reconciling books and accounting for sales, taxes and fees.

The inspiration behind the app’s development is freeing up time for online store owners to focus on managing their platform, which may include auditing stock, fulfilling orders and responding to customer queries.

Many ecommerce operators work individually or in teams of two or three, so time truly is at a premium.

This is one of the reasons the app has become so popular.

Which platforms does Link My Books work with?

As well as integrating with apps like Xero and QuickBooks, Link My Books has been developed to deliver solutions for merchants with presences across the major online channels.

Many ecommerce retailers choose to sell their products through Amazon, while others operate a shop on Ebay.

A growing number, however, are choosing to develop their own platforms and are building a model where the majority of sales are completed through their own website.

This cuts down on commission and other fees that are required by Amazon and Ebay, although the business must manage the whole commerce platform itself.

Link My Books offers guidance to sellers operating across all three platforms and the app has in-built functionality that allows it to pull the correct data from the relevant platform.

How much does Link My Books cost?

Costs for using the app are calculated based on your number of orders, so the solution can effectively grow as your business does.

The lite version of the app starts at just £8 a month, although enterprise-level users can expect to pay close to £200 a month for the full suite of features.

This flexible pricing model is another factor in Link My Books’ break-out popularity.
