At the beginning of your online business, you might manage your business with a simple ledger or Excel spreadsheet. But over time, you start receiving numerous invoices, increasing orders, and adding expenses, shipping, and services... This is where the need for an automated control tool begins.
Linking your online store to an accounting system isn't just convenient; it's a smart move that saves you from mistakes and lets you know exactly what your true profit is.
1. Can you link your store to accounting systems?
Yes, you can, and easily! Most online store platforms, such as Shopify, WooCommerce, OpenCart, and others, support integration with well-known accounting systems such as:
• Zoho Books
• QuickBooks
• Xero
• Locally: Daftra - Qayoud - SMACC
Linking is done through an API or ready-made add-ons that run automatically and transfer data between the store and the accounting system.
2. What are the benefits of accounting integration?
This integration provides you with:
• Automatic recording of every sale and invoice.
• Accurate tracking of expenses and costs.
• Preparing ready-made financial reports at any time.
• Know your net profit after deducting all costs.
• Be prepared for zakat and taxes with ease.
Especially if you operate within the Kingdom and need to comply with electronic invoicing and zakat regulations, the accounting system provides this for you in a systematic and formal manner.
3. When should you start considering linking your store to accounting?
There are clear signs that tell you it's time:
• Orders have increased and it's difficult to track them manually.
• You have incurred large expenses (shipping, inventory, advertising).
• You've started receiving numerous invoices and need to be organized.
• You've received an accounting from the General Authority for Zakat and Taxes.
• You want to know your profit accurately and not rely on estimates.
4. Is it difficult?
No, if you have a technician or programmer they can help with the delivery. If you use a platform like "Sahl" to build your store, we can provide you with direct accounting integration with a local or global system, depending on your needs.
Some systems provide full technical support to help you link your accounts seamlessly and without complications.
5. How do you choose the right system?
Your choice depends on:
• Your sales volume.
• Do you operate only within Saudi Arabia or do you have clients abroad?
• Do you need support for taxes and zakat?
• Do you want an Arab or foreign system?
If you're in Saudi Arabia, we recommend starting with local systems like "Daftra" or "Qayoud," as they officially support electronic invoicing.
Linking your store to an accounting system is an essential step if you're thinking of growing and operating professionally. Don't wait until your data piles up and your accounts get lost. Stay organized from the start and let the numbers work for you, not against you.
