Payout Check (Reconciliation) for Shopify

Profit Analysis • Shopify

Shopify Payments payout reports are cryptic. Discounts, refunds, and Shopify fees create gaps between 'Gross Sales' and what hits your bank. Multi-currency stores multiply the confusion with FX fees buried in transaction costs.

Shopify Payout Check (Reconciliation) FAQ

Common questions for Shopify users

Why don't my Shopify payouts match my order totals?

Shopify deducts transaction fees, refunds, chargebacks, and sometimes holds funds for fraud review. Our reconciliation breaks down every deduction so you see exactly where money went.

How do you handle Shopify Payments vs. Stripe/PayPal gateways?

We automatically detect your payment gateway and apply the correct fee structure. Multi-gateway stores get separate reconciliation tabs per processor.

What if I use multiple currencies on Shopify?

We handle presentment currency (what customer pays) vs. payout currency (what you receive) and show FX fees separately in the breakdown.

Can I reconcile historical payouts from last year?

Yes, as long as Shopify still has the data (typically 90+ days). Historical reconciliation helps identify recurring fee issues.

Do you support Shopify Plus custom payment terms?

Yes - map your custom NET 30/60 terms in settings and we adjust expected payout timing accordingly.

What about Shop Pay installments?

Shop Pay installment payouts are tracked separately with their unique fee structure and timing clearly documented.

"We were losing $800/month to hidden Shopify fees we didn't know existed. The reconciliation Excel showed us exactly which transaction types were leaking money."
