Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
What is DropFlowLister Bookkeeping?
Bookkeeping is a dashboard in the DropFlowLister web app that tracks your sales and profit for eBay and Poshmark, together or one at a time. For each sale it shows the sale price, marketplace fee, supplier cost, fulfillment cost, and true profit. The Sales Overview shows your totals for all time or a date range. The extension adds sales to it after you order them from your supplier with Auto Order.
How do I open Bookkeeping for each marketplace?
In the extension popup, pick eBay or Poshmark in the marketplace dropdown and click the Bookkeeping card. The web app opens on that marketplace's section at app.dropflowlister.com.
Which orders get recorded in Bookkeeping automatically?
eBay orders placed with Place Auto Order are recorded when Auto Bookkeeping is on. Poshmark orders placed with the Auto Order button on a Poshmark sale page are recorded from Amazon Order History. Amazon orders you start some other way are skipped.
How do I turn on Auto Bookkeeping for eBay Auto Orders?
Open an eBay order, click the gear on the DropFlow Auto Order panel, and turn on Auto Bookkeeping. Check that Store Name is right, because it labels each sale.
What should I do when a sale says it couldn't be saved to Bookkeeping?
Check that you're signed in to the extension and have enough credits, then reopen the supplier's order page. If you see "Queued locally for retry", the sale is kept in your browser for now. See the Bookkeeping troubleshooting article for each message.
Can I add or edit expenses in Bookkeeping by hand?
You don't need to. Sales are logged automatically, marketplace fees are worked out for you, and supplier costs come from your Auto Orders. In the Bookkeeping dashboard, you can set a default fulfillment cost or change it on each order. You can't add a sale by hand.
Can I export my Bookkeeping data?
Yes. The Bookkeeping dashboard in the DropFlowLister web app has a one-click CSV export. It includes the date, order number, sale price, fees, supplier cost, and profit for each order, ready for your accountant or tax preparation. The extension itself has no export button.
What does "Store Name" in Auto Order Settings do for Bookkeeping?
Store Name labels each eBay sale with your store in Bookkeeping. It fills in from the seller name on the eBay page, and you can change it.
Is Bookkeeping included in my plan?
Yes. Bookkeeping is included in every DropFlowLister plan, and saving a sale doesn't use credits. It needs a signed-in DropFlowLister account. If you ever see an "Insufficient credits" message when saving a sale, email contact@dropflowlister.com.
How does DropFlowLister Bookkeeping calculate true profit?
True profit is your sales revenue minus marketplace fees, cost of goods, and fulfillment costs. Supplier costs come from your Auto Orders, and fees come from the marketplace's records. You can set a default fulfillment cost or change it on each order.
