Introducing Smart Adjustments: The First End-to-End Solution for Point-in-Time Accuracy in E-Commerce Accounting

Launch Date: November 17, 2025

Closing the books has always assumed one thing: that the data you booked yesterday will still look the same tomorrow.

But in e-commerce, that assumption simply isn’t true.

Amazon issues retroactive corrections. Shopify orders are edited days later. PayPal updates settlement details after the fact. And suddenly the financials you trusted — the numbers you used to close a period — have changed.

For years, finance teams have been forced to choose between reopening old periods or living with inaccuracies.

Today, that changes.

We’re excited to introduce Smart Adjustments, a first-of-its-kind system that gives finance teams true point-in-time accuracy, automated adjustment entries, and complete confidence that their general ledger always stays in sync — even when upstream data drifts.

This release is the culmination of three major milestones:

1. Snapshot Journal Entries
2. Booking Management
3. Smart Adjustments (Automated Adjustment Generation)

Together, these capabilities create the most advanced financial accuracy engine in e-commerce accounting.

Why This Matters (Especially at Year-End)

Year-end is the highest-risk period for finance teams.
It’s when auditors demand proof that your numbers matched reality at the time you booked them — not weeks later after Amazon, Shopify, or PayPal made retroactive changes.

Smart Adjustments gives you:

• Accurate historical financials "as of" any date
• Full audit trails of every upstream data change
• Automatic deltas pushed to NetSuite or QuickBooks
• Confidence that closed periods don’t require rework
• Protection against missed adjustments and unexplained variances

This launch was intentionally timed for Q4 because teams need certainty now more than ever. Year-end should feel controlled — not chaotic.

The Problem: Data Drift Is the Silent Destroyer of Financial Accuracy

Every e-commerce brand experiences it:

You pull a report on October 9.
You close the books.
Everything ties.

Two days later, you run the same report — and the numbers don’t match anymore.

Why?

Because upstream systems changed something:

• Amazon retroactively edited order-level taxes
• Shopify updated order allocations or discounts
• PayPal added missing settlement data
• A marketplace corrected fees, reserves, or refunds

These changes break reconciliations, distort revenue, and undermine GL accuracy.
Until now, catching them required spreadsheets, manual research, and opening prior periods.

Real-World Examples

‍

Shopify + PayPal — Order Edit Lag

A Shopify order is booked to deferred revenue.
Days later, PayPal sends updated settlement information or the order is revised.

Smart Adjustments detects the changes and books the correction — no manual intervention.

Amazon Inventory Updates

Amazon retroactively adjusts:

• Shipping
• Taxes
• Product values

Your original entry remains preserved, and adjustments reflect every change.
