Accounting software for online stores
An online store has payouts, fees and refunds arriving from several places, often in more than one currency. Xero starts at $27/mo with unlimited users on every plan and handles multi-currency well. Its early plans have tight limits and fewer US accountants use it, so QuickBooks Online at $38/mo may suit you if your accountant works in it.
