Ecommerce-specific miscategorizations we've seen
These show up on the very first diagnostic pass for most Shopify merchants we onboard. Each row is one pattern our analyzer flags automatically — drawn from the same detection rules in lib/qbo-analyzer.js.
-
Shopify Payments fees↓posted to Office Suppliesshould be Bank FeesProcessor charges flagged by the marketplace-fee detector when the memo signature matches a Shopify subscription line.
-
Stripe / PayPal payouts↓posted as gross Revenuenet against processing feesNetting against Payment Processing Fees keeps your true take-rate visible per transaction.
-
Refunds↓posted as a separate Refund Expenseshould net against gross RevenueA standalone refund expense inflates COGS. Net it against revenue so gross margin reflects reality.
-
Shipping labels↓posted to Marketing or Office Suppliesshould be Shipping ExpenseOutbound shipping is a cost of fulfillment — keep it separate from customer-acquisition spend.
-
Sales tax collected↓posted to Revenueshould be Sales Tax PayableSales tax collected is not your revenue. Posting it as income overstates your P&L and understates your liability.
