22 May 2026 Hi everyone,
I'm a developer working on automating GST workflows for small e-commerce sellers. Before building anything, I want to understand what actually hurts in practice.
For those of you handling e-commerce clients, Amazon, Flipkart, Shopify, where does most of your time go? Is it reconciling platform reports with GSTR-2B, tracking TCS credits, dealing with returns, or something else entirely?
Not looking for textbook answers. Genuinely curious what a typical filing looks like from your side.

22 May 2026 The most time-consuming aspects of e-commerce GST compliance are standardizing disparate multi-platform reports, reconciling high volumes of sales returns against original invoices, sorting state-wise B2C data for GSTR-1, and matching TCS credits and platform expense invoices (GSTR-2B). Automation tools should target uniform data ingestion and automated reconciliation matrices to save the most time.
