Why Braintree Reconciliation Is Challenging

Disbursement Aggregation

Braintree groups multiple transactions into single disbursements to your bank. Your bank shows $5,000 deposited, but that represents dozens of individual sales, refunds, and chargebacks. Without proper tracking, you can't see which transactions make up each deposit or accurately record processing fees.

How This Tool Helps

We convert Braintree Transaction Reports into proper Journal Entries: - Gross sales credited to Revenue - Processing fees debited to Fees expense - Refunds and credits reduce revenue - Net amount debited to Bank (matches deposit) Each disbursement becomes a balanced journal entry for easy bank reconciliation.

Data Transformation

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

Input Braintree Disbursement Batch

Aggregated transactions for one bank deposit

Key columns: Disbursement ID, Disbursement Date, Amount, Net Amount
1:N — One input row creates multiple output rows
Output Journal Entry Lines 3-4 rows per input

Multiple balanced lines for proper double-entry accounting

DR Bank Deposit Net amount deposited to bank (matches bank statement)
DR Processing Fees Braintree fees 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 Transactions Report data to Journal Entry - and how we solve them

Journal Entry Out of Balance

Debits don't equal credits for a disbursement journal entry

Check for rounding errors or missing transactions in the disbursement. Verify all transactions in the Braintree export are included.

Transactions Without Disbursement ID

Some transactions don't have a Disbursement ID, making grouping impossible

Ensure you're exporting settled transactions with disbursement information. Unsettled transactions won't have disbursement IDs yet.

Fee Amount Doesn't Match

Gross Amount - Net Amount ≠ Fee Amount, indicating data issue

Re-export from Braintree. This usually indicates a corrupted export or incomplete fee data.

Unsettled Transactions in Export

Export contains transactions that haven't been disbursed yet

Enable 'settled_only' option or filter your Braintree export to only include settled transactions with disbursement dates.
