About

Webgility is ecommerce accounting and inventory automation software for online sellers. It connects stores, marketplaces, and point-of-sale systems with accounting tools, and it's known for order-level reconciliation, inventory management, and financial workflow automation.

When you run Webgility with ShipStation, orders, fees, and shipping expenses stay tied together instead of living in separate tools. That means less manual bookkeeping, cleaner records, and a clearer view of what shipping is doing to each sale across your channels.

You also get stronger operational control as you grow. ShipStation supports 200+ store and marketplace integrations, connects to 200+ global carriers, and cuts clicks per order by 40% with automation. Your team spends less time fixing data and more time shipping, reconciling, and scaling with confidence.
