The journey, step by step
1
Order placed Retail
A counter or online order, with the shopper captured inline, no full quotation cycle. Online orders sync in automatically from the store.
2
Payment taken Retail · Finance
A payment receipt records the money, with the provider and reference, and posts to the ledger.
3
Fulfil Retail · Inventory
A delivery ships the goods and draws stock down, in parts where needed.
4
Synced and posted Retail · Finance
The channel ledgers post revenue, marketplace fees, delivery and tax to the right accounts, so an online sale lands correctly in the books.
Where it crosses modules
- Retail to Inventory – fulfilment draws stock down, just like a sales delivery.
- Retail to Finance – dedicated channel ledgers keep marketplace fees out of revenue.
Common variations
- In-store versus online – the same retail order serves both, tagged by source.
- eCommerce sync – WooCommerce and Shopee orders flow in, stock flows back out.
- Outlets – each shop maps to a location its sales draw from.
