Which ledger account for what
Under Ledger accounts you assign the accounts. The suggestions come from your own chart of accounts in Moneybird; Boekvogel does not invent any.
The six fields
| Field | Used for | Leaving it empty means |
|---|---|---|
| Revenue | All product lines | Not possible: this field is required |
| Shipping costs | Shipping costs you charge customers | Booked to Revenue |
| Tips | Tips via Shopify | Booked to Revenue |
| Payment fees | Fees Shopify deducts on payouts | Only needed for reconciling |
| Rounding differences | Differences up to five cents between Shopify and Moneybird | Those orders keep waiting |
| Gift cards (liability) | Sold gift cards | Orders with gift cards keep waiting |
Why leaving some empty does have consequences
For shipping costs and tips Boekvogel has a reasonable alternative: booking to revenue. For rounding and gift cards it does not — there it would have to guess which account something belongs to. It does not do that. The order then goes into the “Needs attention” list with a message saying which account is missing.
Tip. Gift cards are not revenue at the moment of sale, but a liability until they are redeemed. That is why they get their own account.
