Online Seller Problems Odoo Solves
Sales tax in many states
If you sell across state lines, tax rules change by state, county and city, and keeping every rate current is a full-time job. Odoo calculates the right tax at checkout, and the AvaTax integration keeps rates and jurisdictions up to date so your filings start from accurate data.
- AvaTax integration: State, county and city rates calculated automatically at checkout.
- Current rules: Rates and jurisdiction changes stay up to date without manual edits.
- Cleaner filings: Tax collected is recorded on every order and ready for monthly reporting.
Stock out of sync across your store and marketplaces
Listing the same product on your own store, Amazon and eBay means stock numbers drift apart, and you end up overselling or sitting on dead stock. Odoo keeps one inventory behind every channel, so a sale anywhere updates the quantity everywhere.
- One inventory: Your Odoo store and connected marketplaces draw stock from the same record.
- Live availability: Items go out of stock, or stay sellable, across all channels at once.
- Reorder rules: Odoo raises the next purchase order before you run out.
Reordering stock by hand
Working out what to reorder, then typing the same order into your supplier's inbox, doesn't scale with order volume. Odoo creates purchase orders from your eCommerce sales, so replenishment follows real demand.
- Purchase orders from sales: eCommerce orders trigger the right purchase order in Odoo.
- Less manual entry: Quantities and vendors come from the sales data, not a spreadsheet.
- Faster fulfillment: Stock is on the way sooner, so fewer orders wait.
Case study: Automating purchase orders from eCommerce orders
Adding products to the store one by one
If every new product, variant, price and image is entered by hand, your catalogue only grows as fast as your patience. We automate the product creation step so new items reach your store already set up.
- Automated product creation: New products are created in Odoo with their data mapped in.
- Variants and prices: Sizes, colors and price lists come across without retyping.
- Fewer errors: Consistent product data across the store and your channels.
Shipping labels and rates done by hand
Buying labels one at a time and guessing rates slows down dispatch and upsets customers. FedEx, USPS and UPS connectors pull live rates into Odoo and print labels straight from the order.
- Live rates: Delivery prices come from the carrier at checkout.
- Labels from Odoo: Print the label and the paperwork from the sales order.
- Tracking: Tracking numbers go back to the customer automatically.
Import costs missing from your margins
Duties, freight and insurance quietly eat into the margin on imported goods when they aren't on the product cost. Odoo applies a landed cost to each shipment, so margins reflect the real cost of the stock.
- Landed cost per shipment: Split duties, freight and insurance across the products received.
- True product cost: Margins and pricing are based on the cost that actually landed.
- Fewer steps: Costs are recorded as the goods are received.
Payments in different tools
Card payments, wallets and invoicing shouldn't live in separate tools with separate reconciliations. Odoo connects to Stripe, Authorize.Net and PayPal, so payments are captured on the order and reconciled in accounting.
- Stripe: Card payments captured on the order and reconciled in Odoo.
- Authorize.Net and PayPal: Added alongside your existing providers.
- One ledger: Every payment is matched to its order and invoice.
