We process between 50-100 a day, depending on the time of year. We currently print out the orders and enter everything manually into shipping and accounting software. Any ideas for automating any part of shipping and accounting? Any suggestions for a good accounting software/Amazon integration combo? Our orders come mostly from Amazon, but also our website, walmart.com, ebay, and phone orders.
