I have joined a firm selling through flipkart. But I have no idea of ecomerce accounting. There is more than 100 orders per day which includes commission entries too and tcs/ tds and gst provisions. There is also entries of credit note and sales returns

Please guide how to enter these in books of accounts. Step by step entries will be helpful.

Thanks
