How Bookalyze works

Using an AI assistant? Every guide is also plain Markdown: point it at bookalyze.com/llms.txt (the index) or llms-full.txt (everything), or add .md to any guide's address.

• Connect Amazon: get your Selling Partner API keys

  Create a private Selling Partner API app for your own seller account, give it the roles Bookalyze needs, and paste its client ID, client secret and refresh token. About 15 minutes, plus Amazon's review of a new developer profile.

• Connect Walmart: create an API key

  Add your Walmart countries, then create a client ID and secret in Walmart's Developer Portal for each one and paste them on the country's channel page. About 10 minutes.

• Connect Noon: make a service account key file

  Create a service account in Noon's partner portal, download its .json key file, and choose it in Bookalyze. One key covers every Noon country.

• Connect eBay: no keys needed

  eBay is the one marketplace without keys to copy: you agree on eBay's own page, with read-only access, and one connection covers every eBay site you sell on.

• Channels: switch off, say who ships, remove, disconnect

  Every Amazon marketplace, Walmart country, Noon country and eBay site is a channel in its own currency. Switch one off, say who ships its orders, remove one added by mistake, or disconnect an account.

• Orders: find, filter and read every order

  Every order from every marketplace in one list, with tabs, search and badges for refunds, claims and replacements. Orders are for running the business; they don't post to your books.

• Connect Wise: make a read-only API token

  Create a read-only token in Wise, paste it into Bookalyze, and every Wise balance syncs to your books each day, in every currency, with fees split out.

• Upload bank statements from any bank

  For banks without a live connection: upload the statement CSV, match its columns once, and every later upload reuses them. The same file twice adds nothing twice.

• Bank rules: categorise the routine automatically

  A rule puts every bank line whose description contains some words into a category, as it arrives. Bookalyze also suggests rules for payees you keep categorising the same way.

• Possible duplicates and transfers between your accounts

  A bank line that looks like a transaction already in your books is flagged, never merged on its own. Money out of one of your accounts and into another is suggested as a transfer.

• Reconcile an account against its statement

  Enter the statement's date and ending balance, tick what's on it, and finish when the difference is zero. Reconciled transactions are locked until you undo.

• Automatic review requests: ask every buyer, at the right time

  Switch it on once and Bookalyze asks every eligible Amazon buyer for a review on the day you choose after delivery, skipping refunds, claims and anyone you leave out. It's Amazon's own Request a Review, so it's within Amazon's rules.

• Ask for reviews by hand or in bulk

  See every Amazon order you can ask for a review, ask one, a selection, or every ready order at once, and leave out the ones you'd rather not ask.

• Listing watch: know when a listing changes

  Watch any ASIN on a connected Amazon marketplace: price, featured offer, sellers, best seller rank, title, description, photos and what reviewers mention. One email digest when something changes.

• Amazon prices beside cost and fees

  Every linked SKU's Amazon price next to what a unit costs you. Change a price and see Amazon's fees, your profit and margin before you send it, then whether Amazon applied it.

• Products and SKUs: link every listing to what it holds

  A product is the thing you buy and sell. Each marketplace SKU links to one, with how many units a listing holds, so a 2-pack or a bundle counts the right stock.

• Purchase orders and deliveries

  Draft an order to your supplier, send it, and record each delivery as it arrives. Fill one in from an Alibaba.com receipt, and type the cost of one, the line total or the order total.

• Paying suppliers, and purchases in your books

  Record what you pay against each order, with an optional payment plan. Switch on purchases in the books and payments wait on Supplier deposits until the stock arrives.

• Landed cost and FIFO stock lots

  What a unit really cost you: the supplier's price plus its share of freight, duty, brokerage and prep. Each delivery becomes stock lots, and sales use the oldest first.

• Cost of goods sold, month by month

  Add your opening stock once, then post each month's cost of goods sold per marketplace at FIFO cost. Returns come back into stock; losses are written off.

• Amazon's FBA inventory ledger: returns, losses and write-offs

  Amazon's own record of every unit it shipped, got back, lost or found. Bookalyze brings it in daily so cost of goods sold counts returns and losses.

• Noon FBN stock: the ledger, the summary and the check

  Noon's FBN inventory ledger feeds cost of goods sold like Amazon's. Its summary shows what Noon holds, and Bookalyze checks the two reports agree.

• Stock in one place: your books against Amazon, Noon, Walmart and your count

  One row per product: units in your books, what Amazon, Noon and Walmart hold, what you counted yourself, and the difference.

• Take stock out by hand, move it, or put it back

  For units no marketplace accounts for: samples, gifts, the owner's own use, breakages. Take them out to a category, or move them to the right product.

• Reorder: when to order and how many

  For each product: how many it sells a day, when it runs out, the last day to order, and how many to order, with Order now and Order soon.

• Profit by product, after ads: what every product really makes

  Each product's profit after the marketplace's fees, what it cost you and its ads, per marketplace. The products losing money come first, each with how far its ads can go before they stop paying.

• Profit and loss by product, line by line

  For any period, every product's exact profit and loss: units sold and returned, sales, promotions, refunds, each marketplace fee, storage, cost of goods and ads, from the marketplaces' own rows. Each amount is marked when it's estimated.

• Connect Amazon Ads

  Give Bookalyze read access to your Amazon Ads reports on Amazon's own page, once per region. Ad spend per product then comes in every day, 60 days back to start.

• ACOS, TACOS, break-even ACOS and cost per click, with an example

  The five numbers that say whether ads make or lose money, how each is worked out, and one product's month worked through from sales to profit after ads.

• Ad spend in your books and in the ads reports: why they differ, and why nothing counts twice

  Amazon charges ads from your payouts or your card; the ads reports say what was spent each day. How Channel profit and Profit by product use each, and how to make your books complete.

• Advertising data in Bookalyze: what's read, what's kept, and the edge cases

  Every field Bookalyze keeps about your ads, which marketplaces are covered, and how it handles time zones, currencies, attribution, bundles, missing costs and the rest.

• Find and fix the products losing money, once a month

  A 30-minute monthly routine on Profit by product: which products lose money after ads, why, and what to change for each verdict.

• Are you losing money? Find the channel or product that is

  A marketplace can look busy and still lose money once fees, ads, refunds and the real cost of each unit are counted. Here's how to find where, in about half an hour.

• Month end for marketplace sellers, in order

  The monthly close for a selling business, step by step, with the check after each. Most months it takes under an hour once automatic posting is on.

• An Amazon.ae payout in dirhams, deposited in Canadian dollars

  A Canadian company selling on Amazon.ae: the settlement posts in AED, the payout lands in a CAD bank account at the bank's rate, and the small difference is an exchange loss or gain.

• From an Alibaba order to FBA sales and cost of goods sold

  The whole path of a batch of stock: the purchase order from the Alibaba receipt, the freight paid to a forwarder, the delivery's landed cost, and the cost of the units that sold.

• Approaching the UAE VAT threshold

  Registration becomes required once taxable sales pass AED 375,000 over 12 months. Bookalyze tells you when you're close; here's what changes when you register.

• Prove your books agree with the marketplaces and the bank

  Every check Bookalyze offers, in one list: settlements that balance, marketplace balances, stock compared, bank against books, and reconciliation.
