What this guide covers
Build a traceable reconciliation from transaction activity through adjustments, fees, and the payout total. Work through each step in order, preserve safe reference details, and stop before repeating an action if the original result is still unclear.
Step-by-step
- Choose a single payout and record its ID, date, amount, and destination summary.
- Export or list the transactions and adjustments included in that payout when the feature is available.
- Group gross payments, refunds, reversals, fees, reserves, and other recorded adjustments separately.
- Calculate the expected net amount and compare it with the payout record, preserving rounding details.
- Escalate unexplained differences with the calculation and safe reference IDs, not raw payment credentials.
Fees and schedules vary by account arrangement. This guide does not state a price or promise a payout date.
Troubleshooting
- Check for items posted near a cut-off that may belong to a different payout.
- Verify whether the view displays gross, net, available, or pending values.
- For small differences, retain full precision before assuming a rounding error.
If the result changes after a check, record what changed and the exact time. That detail is often more useful than repeating every step.
Before contacting support
Prepare the smallest set of information needed to explain the issue. Redact passwords, one-time codes, API keys, authorization headers, CVVs, full card numbers, and full bank account details.
- Payout ID and date range
- Gross-to-net calculation
- Safe IDs for unexplained line items
State the expected outcome, observed outcome, current impact, and whether the issue is ongoing or intermittent.
