High-volume order accounting
Book sales in summary or import them by CSV rather than keying every order, so a busy store’s revenue lands in your ledger without hours of data entry.

Accounting software for UAE e-commerce businesses
Book high order volumes without the busywork, reconcile marketplace payouts, keep inventory and returns clean, and file VAT — so you always know your real margin after fees.
Where online sellers lose track of margin
An online store looks simple until you open the books. Orders arrive in the hundreds, money lands as net payouts with marketplace fees already deducted, returns claw back revenue days later, and stock has to be costed as it sells. Keyed one order at a time, that is unworkable; ignored, it hides your true profit behind a bank balance.
AIMuhaseb keeps it clean. You bring orders in by CSV or in summary, record payouts with fees separated out, cost inventory on FIFO, and handle refunds through proper credit notes — all with the right VAT applied. The result is a live view of contribution after fees, shipping, and cost of goods, on IFRS double-entry books.
What you get for your online store
The workflows an e-commerce seller needs — from order to VAT return.
Marketplace payouts
Record net payouts from marketplaces and gateways, and split out the platform fees and commissions so your true revenue and costs are clear.
Inventory & COGS
Track stock on a FIFO basis so cost of goods sold moves with each sale and your gross margin reflects what you actually paid for goods.
Returns & refunds
Record refunds and credit notes so returns reduce revenue and restore inventory cleanly, keeping net sales honest.
VAT on online sales
Apply the standard 5% VAT where it applies, capture input VAT on stock and fees, and generate a VAT 201 return from your books.
Real margins, live reports
Trial Balance, P&L, and Balance Sheet update with every entry, so you can see contribution after fees, shipping, and cost of goods.

E-commerce accounting questions
Can AIMuhaseb handle a high volume of online orders?
Yes. Rather than keying every single order, you can post sales in summary or import them by CSV, so a busy store’s revenue lands in your ledger with the correct VAT without hours of manual entry. AIMuhaseb does not connect directly to a storefront, but CSV import makes it straightforward to bring order and payout data into clean books.
How does it handle marketplace payouts and fees?
You record the net payout you receive from a marketplace or payment gateway and split out the platform fees and commissions as expenses. That way your reports show true gross revenue and the real cost of selling on each channel, not just the net amount that hit your bank.
How is VAT treated on online sales?
AIMuhaseb applies the standard 5% VAT rate where it applies to your sales and captures input VAT on stock and fees, then produces a VAT 201 return for filing to the FTA via EmaraTax. VAT treatment can differ for exports, cross-border sales, and certain digital services; where you are unsure how a particular transaction should be treated, confirm the correct treatment with your tax adviser or the FTA and apply it in the software.
Can I account for returns and refunds properly?
Yes. You record refunds and credit notes so that returns reduce your recorded revenue and, where relevant, restore inventory. This keeps net sales and gross margin accurate instead of overstated.
Does it track my product margins?
AIMuhaseb tracks inventory on a FIFO basis, so cost of goods sold moves with each sale. Combined with the live Profit & Loss, you can see your contribution after cost of goods, marketplace fees, and shipping.
