How People Use This

Klarna settlements bundle orders, refunds, and fees into one payout, which makes reconciliation a nightmare. I validate every settlement CSV before importing to Xero. The tool caught 14 rows with blank order IDs last quarter that would have created orphaned transactions in my books.

Three of my clients use Klarna and the settlement exports always have issues. Mixed decimal formats, missing payout dates, fee columns that don't add up. Running validation first saves me from chasing errors during month-end close. It flagged a $1,200 refund that Klarna listed with a positive sign instead of negative.

Selling across Europe means Klarna settles in multiple currencies. The validator catches amount formatting inconsistencies between my EUR and SEK settlement files before I import them. Last month it flagged rows where the fee calculation was off by the VAT amount, saving me hours of manual reconciliation.
