Where Eclipse is different
What QuickBooks was not built to do
Payouts, explained
Each marketplace payout splits into orders, fees, refunds, and holds, so the deposit in your bank finally makes sense.
Profit on every item
See what each sale made after cost, platform fees, and shipping, not just what came in.
Real books underneath
Every number posts to a double-entry ledger your accountant can open, review, and lock.
