E-commerce Accounting in Serbia: Payment Processors, Inventory and VAT Under Control

Online selling looks simple from the outside: order, payment, delivery. In the books it is a chain connecting payment processors, couriers, inventory, returns and VAT, and that chain has to reconcile to the dinar. Here is what is specific about e-commerce accounting and how we run it.

What makes e-commerce specific

• Multiple payment channels. Cards, cash on delivery, payment processors and marketplace payouts: each channel has its own rhythm, fees and reports that must reconcile with sales.
• Returns and complaints. Returned goods and credit notes must flow cleanly through both inventory and financial records.
• Inventory and purchasing. Imports, customs, landed costs and accurate inventory value directly determine your real margin.
• VAT questions. Domestic and cross-border sales, the mandatory registration threshold and correct rates: the threshold is tracked monthly, not discovered at year-end.

What we cover for e-commerce

• complete bookkeeping with reconciliation of payment processor, courier and bank reports;
• inventory accounting: stock, costing, write-offs and counts;
• VAT threshold and obligation tracking, with tax consulting for expansion to foreign markets;
• payroll and engagements for a growing team.

Numbers you can actually read

E-commerce lives on margin, and margin is not visible from a bank statement: it shows in properly matched revenue, fees, delivery costs and inventory value. Our monthly report gives you exactly that: what you earn per channel and where the difference melts. Documents are exchanged digitally, no paper.
