We generate photos and push them to Amazon. Copy is included on every plan. ₹7 per photo, wallet. ₹139 per 6s video, wallet — download, then upload in Seller Central (Amazon has no video API).

Question 3

How does eCominess help with GSTR-1 filing for Amazon sellers?

Accepted Answer

eCominess imports your Amazon MTR (Merchant Tax Report) and auto-generates a complete GSTR-1 Excel export with all required tables: B2B invoices (Table 4), B2CS state-wise summary (Table 7), HSN summary (Table 12), and B2B/B2C credit notes — ready to upload directly to the GST portal. No manual data entry needed.

Question 4

Can I file GSTR-1 for Flipkart sales using eCominess?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Upload your Flipkart GSTR Sales Report and eCominess automatically maps all columns to GSTR-1 tables — detecting B2B vs B2C orders, splitting IGST/CGST/SGST, handling returns and replacements correctly. Your GSTR-1 Excel is ready in seconds.

Question 5

Does eCominess support Meesho and Myntra GSTR-1 filing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. eCominess supports all major Indian marketplaces: Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, and Myntra. Upload your reports from any platform and eCominess generates a unified GSTR-1 export covering all platforms for the filing period.

Question 6

How does profit tracking work for Amazon and Flipkart sellers?

Accepted Answer

eCominess calculates exact profit per order by deducting platform fees (commission, fulfilment), GST collected, returns and cancellations, and cost of goods sold (COGS) from gross sales. The dashboard shows profit margin per SKU, per platform and per month — so you always know your real earnings.

Question 7

What is GSTR-2B reconciliation and does eCominess support it?

Accepted Answer

GSTR-2B is the auto-drafted statement of Input Tax Credit (ITC) available to you each month from your supplier invoices. eCominess lets you upload your GSTR-2B Excel and reconcile ITC against your purchases — giving you a clear ITC summary and net GST payable for GSTR-3B filing.

Question 8

Can I create GST invoices with eCominess?

Accepted Answer

Yes. eCominess generates professional GST tax invoices (B2B and B2C), proforma invoices, and credit notes as PDF. Features include auto invoice numbering, GSTIN validation with live GST portal lookup, auto-detection of IGST vs CGST/SGST (interstate vs intrastate), email delivery, and WhatsApp sharing.

Question 9

What is TCS in e-commerce GST and how does eCominess handle it?

Accepted Answer

TCS (Tax Collected at Source) is 1% deducted by marketplaces like Amazon and Flipkart from seller payments under Section 52 of the GST Act. eCominess tracks TCS credits from your marketplace reports and applies them as credits against your GST payable, reducing your net tax outflow in GSTR-3B.

Question 10

What are the GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filing deadlines?

Accepted Answer

For monthly filers: GSTR-1 is due on the 11th of the following month and GSTR-3B is due on the 20th. For quarterly filers (QRMP scheme): GSTR-1 is due on the 13th of the month after the quarter end. eCominess's compliance calendar shows upcoming deadlines and sends reminder emails automatically.

Question 11

Can I track inventory and SKUs across Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho?

Accepted Answer

Yes. eCominess has a central SKU management system where you can group product variants across platforms (Amazon ASIN, Flipkart FSN, Meesho ID) under one master SKU. See total sales, stock movements, and profit by SKU — across all platforms in one place.

Question 12

Does eCominess export data to Tally or Zoho?

Accepted Answer

Yes. eCominess supports Tally XML export and Zoho-compatible CSV export for invoices and sales data. Growth and Pro plan users can export all invoice data directly to Tally with one click — saving hours of manual Tally entries every month.

Question 13

Is eCominess free to use?

Accepted Answer

Paid plans include a 14-day trial with no credit card, then Starter is ₹1,299/month. A free plan also exists: 10 SKUs, 100 orders/month, GSTIN required. Paid plans include GSTR-1 exports, GST invoicing, and ITC reconciliation for the covered order volume.

Question 14

Does eCominess calculate import duty (BCD, Cess, IGST) for products sourced from China?

Accepted Answer

Yes. eCominess has a built-in import duty calculator for sellers sourcing from Alibaba, 1688, AliExpress or any overseas supplier. It computes BCD (Basic Custom Duty), Social Welfare Surcharge, Cess, and IGST on imports based on the Bill of Entry (BOE), plus international payment fees (PayPal, Wire, Wise) — giving you the true landed cost per unit and ITC available.

Question 15

Can Shopify, WooCommerce or Ajio sellers use eCominess for GST filing in India?

Accepted Answer

Yes. While eCominess has direct importers for Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho and Myntra, sellers on Shopify, WooCommerce, Ajio, BigCommerce or any other platform can use the Offline B2C / B2B Excel template to upload sales — and get the same GSTR-1 auto-export, profit tracking, GST invoicing and ITC reconciliation as marketplace sellers.

Question 16

How does eCominess handle returns, cancellations and replacements for GST?

Accepted Answer

eCominess automatically detects returns, cancellations and replacements from your marketplace reports and applies the correct sign convention (negative values) per platform. Returns reduce your taxable value, GST liability and platform fees in GSTR-1. Replacements net to zero. The dashboard shows separate metrics for gross sales, returns, replacements, and net revenue.

Question 17

Can I generate a P&L (Profit & Loss) statement from my e-commerce sales?

Accepted Answer

Yes. eCominess generates a complete P&L statement showing gross revenue, returns, platform fees, GST collected, COGS, advertising spend, logistics, and other expenses across all platforms. View P&L by month, quarter or year — and export to Excel or Tally for your CA.

Question 18

How does eCominess split IGST, CGST and SGST automatically?

Accepted Answer

eCominess auto-detects interstate vs intrastate sales by comparing your registered seller state (from GSTIN) with the buyer's ship-to state from the marketplace report. Same state → CGST + SGST split equally. Different state → full IGST. This logic is applied automatically across Amazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra and offline orders for accurate GSTR-1 filing.

Question 19

Does eCominess track HSN codes for products and orders?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every SKU in eCominess has an HSN code field. Sales rows automatically inherit the SKU's HSN code, and the GSTR-1 Table 12 (HSN Summary) is auto-generated showing total taxable value, IGST, CGST, SGST and quantity by HSN code — required for GSTR-1 filing for businesses above the turnover threshold.

Question 20

Does eCominess support quick-commerce sellers (Blinkit, Zepto, Instamart)?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Quick-commerce sellers on Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, BigBasket and similar platforms can upload sales using the Offline B2C template — giving them the same GST-ready exports, profit tracking, and ITC reconciliation as Amazon/Flipkart sellers.
