GoDaddy Bookkeeping (formerly Outright) was the lightweight ecommerce accounting choice for eBay, Amazon, and Etsy sellers who wanted clean income tracking without QuickBooks overhead. GoDaddy stopped new signups in 2022 and discontinued the product. If you're still on it, you need a migration plan, and the good news is you have time to do it right.
GoDaddy Bookkeeping did three things well: automatic import of eBay and Amazon transactions, simple income and expense categorization for sole-proprietor Schedule C filers, and a real-time Schedule C tax estimator. It was never a full accounting system. No inventory tracking, no SKU-level profitability, no multi-marketplace consolidation, no proper double-entry ledger.
Before picking a tool, decide which of these you actually need: automatic marketplace transaction import, inventory tracking, SKU-level profit reporting, a tax estimator, and double-entry accounting. GoDaddy Bookkeeping only offered the first and fourth in a light form. Your replacement should match where your business is now.
Wave offers free accounting and invoicing for very small businesses. No inventory tracking and marketplace import is manual CSV, but it's genuinely free.
QuickBooks Self-Employed is the closest functional replacement if GoDaddy's draw was the Schedule C estimator. Around $20/month.
If you outgrew GoDaddy and now sell across several marketplaces, you need real ecommerce accounting. Tools in this category, ConnectBooks among them, connect to Amazon, Shopify, Walmart, eBay, and TikTok, sync to QuickBooks or Xero, and add the inventory and SKU-level profit tracking GoDaddy never offered. Pricing in this category typically starts around $149/month and scales by marketplace count and order volume.
Xero is the lightweight route into proper double-entry accounting. Around $20-$80/month. QuickBooks Online is the more widely recognized alternative.
| Tool | Starting price | Marketplace import | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wave | Free | Manual CSV | Side hustle under $25K |
| QuickBooks Self-Employed | $20/mo | Limited (bank feeds) | Solo Schedule C filers |
| ConnectBooks | From $149/mo | Automatic, 5 marketplaces | Growing multi-channel sellers |
| Xero | $20/mo | Via add-on | Moving to double-entry |
| QuickBooks Online | $35/mo | Via add-on | Standard double-entry |
If GoDaddy Bookkeeping was where your year-end income and expense totals came from for your Schedule C, talk to your CPA before the account closes. You may need specific report exports for the IRS three-year audit window.
GoDaddy stopped investing in the product around 2020 and stopped accepting new signups in 2022, then notified existing customers of full discontinuation.
For now, but the product is no longer maintained. Marketplace integrations break without repair, and a full shutoff is a question of when.
There's no direct integration. The path is CSV export from GoDaddy, then CSV import into the new tool.
