Why Adyen Reconciliation Is Challenging

Interchange++ Pricing Complexity

Adyen's Interchange++ pricing means every transaction has different fees based on card type, region, and scheme. Processing fees include Commission, Markup, Scheme Fees, and Interchange — each varying per transaction. Without proper tracking, you lose visibility into your actual payment processing costs.

How This Tool Helps

We convert Adyen Settlement Detail Reports into proper Journal Entries: - Gross amounts credited to Revenue - Processing fees (Commission + Markup) debited to Fees expense - Interchange (Scheme + Interchange) debited to Interchange expense - Net amount debited to Bank (matches deposit) Each batch settlement becomes a balanced journal entry for easy bank reconciliation.

Data Transformation

Each settlement batch creates multiple journal entry lines (debits and credits) that balance to zero

Input Adyen Settlement Batch

One row per settlement batch containing gross sales and fee breakdown

Key columns: Batch Number, Creation Date, Gross Credit, Net Credit
1:N — One input row creates multiple output rows
Output Journal Entry Lines 4-6 rows per input

Multiple balanced lines for proper double-entry accounting

DR Bank Deposit Net amount deposited to bank (what actually hits your account)
DR Processing Fees Adyen Commission + Markup tracked as expense
DR Interchange Fees Scheme Fees + Interchange tracked as expense
CR Sales Income Gross sales revenue before fees
All journal entries are balanced (total debits = total credits)

Common Journal Entry Import Errors

Issues you might encounter when importing Settlement Details Report data to Journal Entry - and how we solve them

Journal Entry Out of Balance

One or more journal entries don't balance — debits don't equal credits

Check for rounding errors in fee calculations or missing transactions in the batch. Each journal entry must have total debits = total credits.

Missing Batch Number

Settlement rows don't have a Batch Number, making it impossible to group transactions

Ensure you're using the Settlement Details Report (not Transaction Report). The tool will group by date if batch numbers are missing.

Fees Don't Match Net Amount

Gross - Total Fees ≠ Net, indicating data corruption or missing fee columns

Verify your export includes all fee columns: Commission, Markup, Scheme Fees, Interchange. Re-export from Adyen if columns are missing.

Multiple Fee Accounts Required

Split Interchange++ option is enabled but only one fee account is configured

When splitting fees, you need separate expense accounts for Processing Fees (Commission + Markup) and Interchange Fees (Scheme + Interchange). Configure both accounts in processing options.

Multiple Currencies in One Batch

A single batch contains transactions in different currencies, which breaks accounting rules

Process each currency separately. Filter your Adyen report by currency before converting, or split your export into separate files per currency.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on your needs. Splitting gives detailed visibility (useful for cost analysis) but creates more expense accounts. Combining into one account is simpler for most businesses.
Each journal entry is named with the Batch Number. Find this number in your bank deposit description or Adyen's payment report to match entries.
Process each currency's settlement separately and set the appropriate bank account for each. This keeps multi-currency accounting clean.
Chargebacks are debited to your sales account (reducing revenue) along with any chargeback fees debited to expenses.
