Updated 29 October 2026. We include ourselves in this guide, so we have kept to general criteria and our own published prices, and make no claims about other firms.
Shopify, Amazon, Stripe and PayPal pay out net of fees, refunds and reserves. An e-commerce accountant should match each payout to gross sales and costs, otherwise turnover, VAT and profit will all be wrong.
Selling to UK and overseas customers raises questions on the VAT registration threshold, marketplace deemed-supplier rules, EU One Stop Shop registration and import VAT. Ask how they handle each for your sales channels.
Profit depends on accurate stock values at the year end and the right cost of goods sold. Check that the firm will agree a stock-count method with you and use it consistently.
Integrations between Shopify or Amazon and Xero or QuickBooks save time but still need setting up and checking. Ask who sets them up and who reviews the results.
Transaction volume drives the work. Ask how the fee changes as orders grow, so a busy quarter does not bring a surprise invoice.
Our own published fixed fees for e-commerce limited companies:
We do not publish other firms' prices or market averages we cannot verify. Fixed fees in this market are usually set by turnover, transaction volume, VAT registration and payroll size, so compare quotes on the same scope, line by line. All our fees exclude VAT.
A UK business must register once taxable turnover passes £90,000 in a rolling 12 months, and may need to register sooner when storing goods or selling in other countries. Marketplace rules can make Amazon responsible for VAT on some sales.
Yes, it should be part of the job. Payouts are net of fees and refunds, so they need matching to gross sales for accurate turnover and VAT.
Fees usually rise with transaction volume and VAT complexity rather than the sales channel itself. Compare quotes on the same scope.
