Payouts and reconciliation

Concept

Reconciliation links operational order data with Stripe settlement data so cash movement is trusted.

Why it matters

Without regular reconciliation, payout issues and reporting drift are found too late.

How to configure it

1. Define a daily reconciliation owner.
2. Export QueueJump order/refund totals each day.
3. Compare against Stripe net settlements, fees, and transfers.
4. Log and investigate any mismatch immediately.

How to verify it worked

• Expected daily totals match settlement records.
• Variance is documented and resolved quickly.
• Month-end close requires minimal manual correction.

Common mistakes

• Reconciling weekly instead of daily.
• Ignoring small variances until month end.
• Tracking gross sales without refund/fee offsets.
