Managing settlements and payouts from your sales channels (like Amazon or eBay) is crucial for keeping your books in order. Plugbooks makes this easy with two methods: manual and auto-post. In this blog, we’ll walk you through how to send your settlements to your bookkeeping software using both methods.
1. Manual Method: Sending Settlements to Bookkeeping
To manually send a settlement to your bookkeeping software, follow these steps:
Step 1: Log In to Plugbooks
Start by logging into your Plugbooks account. Once logged in, you’ll land on the dashboard.
Step 2: Navigate to the Settlements Page
In the menu on the left, click on the “Settlements” option. This will take you to a page where all your settlements from sales channels like Amazon and eBay are listed in a table.

Step 3: Sending the Settlement
In each row of the table, you’ll see settlements with information such as payout dates, amounts, and other key details.

- Method 1: Using the Action Button
- On the right side of every settlement row, there’s a 3-dot action button.

- Click on this button, and a small menu will appear.
- In the popup menu, you’ll see multiple options. Click on “Send to Bookkeeping” to send the settlement directly to your connected bookkeeping software.

- Method 2: Viewing the Settlement
- Alternatively, you can double-click on the settlement row, or click “View” in the action menu.
- This will take you to a detailed page showing the complete settlement breakdown.
- On this page, you’ll also find a button called “Send to Bookkeeping”.
- Click on this button to send the settlement from here as well.

Step 4: Confirmation
After clicking “Send to Bookkeeping,” your settlement will be forwarded to the bookkeeping system that you’ve integrated with Plugbooks.
2. Automatic Method: Auto-Send Settlements
If you don’t want to send settlements manually every time, Plugbooks also offers an Auto-Post feature. With this feature, settlements are automatically forwarded to your bookkeeping software, saving you time and ensuring that everything is up-to-date.
