It\u2019s quite a challenge to keep error-free entries in journals manually. Luckily, advances in modern technology enabled us to automate this demanding routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"how-to-automate-the-process-of-journal-entries-recording\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to automate the process of journal entries recording&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Manual data entry is a tiresome, time-consuming and highly error prone process of keeping accounts of financial transactions. It might be especially painful for e-commerce businesses&nbsp; due to a larger volume of business transactions that need to be recorded, as well as the complexity of the e-commerce model that involves multi-channel sales. This can make it difficult to control so many accounts and sources of transactions and identify errors, and may result in inaccuracies in financial statements and challenges during tax filing and further reconciliation with your bank account. Luckily, there\u2019s a high-tech pill to relieve this pain.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/industry\/syndersync\/\">Synder Sync<\/a>&nbsp; is a top-notch accounting app that has a great number of integrations with the most popular sales and payment channels like Shopify, Etsy, eBay, Amazon, PayPal, Stripe, and <a href=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/integrations\/\">many more<\/a>, as well as with accounting software like QuickBooks or Xero. The app acts like a bridge between them, synchronizing the details of sales transactions from all sales channels you\u2019re selling on, and all payment gateways you\u2019re using, and transferring this data into your accounting software.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To facilitate this process for e-commerce businesses with a big number of sales transactions happening daily, Synder offers the Daily Summary feature that allows users to import summarized totals of the day\u2019s transactions instead of importing each transaction individually.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When this feature is enabled, Synder batches the daily amount of transactions into a single journal entry, automatically categorizing transaction details to ensure all incomes, expenses, fees, and taxes are accurately synced with your accounting software. This is what Synder\u2019s summary looks like:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"465\" src=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Daily-summary-1024x465.png\" alt=\"accounting journal entry example\" class=\"wp-image-13286\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Daily-summary-1024x465.png 1024w, https:\/\/synder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Daily-summary-300x136.png 300w, https:\/\/synder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Daily-summary-768x349.png 768w, https:\/\/synder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Daily-summary-1536x698.png 1536w, https:\/\/synder.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2023\/05\/Daily-summary.png 1884w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>However, you can also view what exactly is included in each journal entry.&nbsp; Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh5.googleusercontent.com\/gerCchAZCWe3A0SB5h7z54NPuYqVmWE_iv8-zBhb_BW99TH1sgO4isUFGjPngFKd0-yNZgmQaeHSt55YjaHnqOYZeMiEgI_MP-D1Yzt0Hg-D-ADvMr4qMwqCo2ym6WBQIa6_edCcYd5O1CS76LtBh6Q\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Synder\u2019s Daily Summary feature helps prevent the system from being overloaded with unnecessary details, speeds up data import, and ensures accurate categorization of transactions.
