Runs on Windows
Your Order History Is Not a Set of Books
It does not tell you what each order cost in fees, how much was postage, or what is still sitting on your shelves.
Orders Come In Automatically
Paid BrickLink orders sync automatically, as far back as you choose, including orders that have already been filed or archived.
Categorised Properly
Goods, postage paid by the buyer, BrickLink fees and payment fees are recorded separately, where they belong in your books.
Brick Books Only Reads
Brick Books does not write changes back to BrickLink. It does not alter your listings, prices or inventory, and it does not move any money.
One Order, Properly Recorded
A BrickLink order total is not the same as money in your pocket. Brick Books records each part of the order for what it actually is, so the profit figure means something.
Goods and postage paid by the buyer are recorded as income. Marketplace fees, payment fees and your own postage costs are recorded separately as expenses. Unpaid orders are left out until payment arrives.
Figures from the demo's fictional seller. The postage you paid is its own entry when you post the parcel, and what the parts cost you is handled by the stocktake.

Bulk Lots and Part-Outs, Handled
Buying a bulk lot or a pile of sets to part out is not the same as an ordinary running cost. Until those parts sell, the business still owns them.
Brick Books accounts for what is still unsold at year end, so a heavy buying month does not make an otherwise good year look like a disaster. The stocktake guide explains why.
A Finished Year, Ready to Hand Over
One spreadsheet with your profit and loss, trading stock, full ledger and sales by marketplace, plus your receipts, each named to match the entry it belongs to.
Brick Books does not do your tax return. It gets your records ready for whoever does.
