Accountant for Shopify Store Owners UK: How You Get Paid
Shopify income rarely shows up as one clean number, and the mix of platform, app and processor fees is different for every store.
Sales, refunds, fees and payouts
As an accountant for Shopify store owners UK, we know Shopify stores move money through several systems at once: orders, refunds, discounts, fees, Shopify Payments, Stripe, PayPal and chargebacks. We reconcile all of it so your revenue and margin figures stay accurate.
Shopify Payments, Stripe and PayPal
Shopify Payments settles in payouts with fees, refunds and adjustments already netted off, so your bank statement shows a net figure rather than gross sales. If you also use Stripe, PayPal or another gateway, each settles separately with its own balance and schedule. We bring every gateway into Xero and reconcile each payout against your order data.
Multi-channel sellers
Shopify can be your main store without being your only sales channel. If you also sell on Amazon, eBay, Etsy or TikTok Shop, or run wholesale, we bring every channel into one set of accounts. See our Amazon FBA accountant page, or our wider e-commerce accountant hub if you trade across several platforms.
Tax and VAT for Shopify Store Owners
Shopify makes it easy to sell to customers anywhere, which is exactly what makes the VAT position complicated.
VAT for Shopify stores
As an accountant for Shopify store owners UK, UK VAT registration is generally required once your taxable turnover exceeds £90,000. Your VAT position also depends on what you sell, where your customers are located and how your sales are structured, not simply what Shopify reports.
Overseas sales
Selling to customers outside the UK can introduce extra VAT and tax considerations, depending on your customer’s location, whether they are a business or consumer, and where your goods are shipped from.
Stock and cost of goods sold
Turnover alone does not show profitability, £100k of sales does not mean £100k of profit. We track cost of goods sold, including supplier costs, freight and import duty, whatever your stock model.
Sole trader or limited company
There is no fixed income level at which becoming a limited company automatically makes sense. The right structure depends on your profits, personal income needs, other income, how much you plan to leave in the business and your longer-term plans. NDCA can compare the options using your actual figures.
We also handle your bookkeeping, VAT returns, annual accounts and Corporation Tax.
How NDCA works
Three things set us apart from a general accountancy practice that has taken on a few Shopify clients.
As your accountant for Shopify store owners UK, we work with e-commerce sellers specifically, so we already understand Shopify Payments, payment gateway payouts and app subscription costs. You pay one fixed monthly fee, your numbers stay current in Xero, and you get a named accountant, with most queries answered within one working day.
The software we use: Xero and Link My Books
Modern tools built for how Shopify actually pays store owners.
As an accountant for Shopify store owners UK, we run your bookkeeping through Xero, connected to Link My Books, which breaks each Shopify and payment gateway payout down into sales, refunds, fees and VAT rather than one unexplained lump sum. We also use Apron for bill payments. NDCA is an ACCA-regulated accountancy practice.
