Match orders, fees, returns and bank deposits with a traceable transaction record.

Connect four data sources
Sales shown in a marketplace dashboard and cash received in the bank can differ in both amount and period. Match the order, payout report, invoice or return record and bank entry by a shared transaction identifier. Record the report cut-off dates.
Explain each difference
Track commission, service charges, shipping support, campaign funding, penalties and refunds in separate columns. Hiding unexplained differences in an “other” bucket prevents a useful investigation.
- Order and transaction ID
- Gross collection and tax record
- Platform deductions and refunds
- Expected and actual payment dates
Close receivables weekly
List unpaid amounts by due date. Keep order and fee evidence when disputing a discrepancy. Confirm accounting and tax classification with a qualified local adviser.
