For marketplaces

Accounting software for growing marketplaces

Buyer payments, seller balances and platform fees need distinct accounting treatment. Connect your transaction platform to Light through an agreed integration, then reconcile bank activity and report across entities from the same ledger.

Chosen by marketplace and payments teams

How do marketplace transactions reach the ledger?

Accounting software for marketplaces records the revenue, fees, payments and liabilities created by transactions between buyers and sellers.

Built for transaction volume and payouts that a general ledger wasn’t designed to keep up with.

Questions, answered

What should your finance team know?

Can we keep our marketplace transaction platform?

Yes. Keep orders and operational payout calculations in the specialist platform. Scope the financial data and mappings needed for Light, including fees, refunds, currencies and entity ownership.

How should we record commission revenue?

Your finance team defines the accounting treatment for commission and amounts owed to sellers. Configure the integration and reporting around that treatment, and test representative transactions before go-live.

How do we reconcile payments across entities?

Bring bank activity into Light through supported feeds or statement uploads. Matching rules help connect movements to the books, while finance reviews exceptions and outstanding balances.
