Frequently Asked Questions
How does the integration prevent overselling on Shopee and Lazada?
The integration uses real-time 2-way synchronization. When an item is sold on one platform (e.g., Shopee), SiteGiant Unicart immediately updates the inventory level in AutoCount. This updated stock count is then instantly pushed to all your other connected channels, ensuring your stock levels are always accurate.
Do I need to manually enter online orders into AutoCount?
No. Orders from all connected marketplaces are automatically imported into AutoCount. This generates the necessary invoices and updates your accounts receivable without manual data entry, reducing human error and saving significant administrative time.
Is the integration compliant with SST and e-Invoice regulations?
Yes. AutoCount is a fully compliant accounting software. When orders are imported, the system automatically handles tax calculations based on the latest regulatory standards, ensuring your invoices and tax returns are accurate and compliant with LHDN requirements.

Yes. Through SiteGiant Unicart, you can manage your product details, pricing, and images in one centralized place. Once updated, you can sync this data to AutoCount and push the listings to multiple marketplaces simultaneously.
