Reconciling Ecommerce Payouts Without Blending Channels
September 28, 2026 · 1 min read
This guide explains how to reconcile ecommerce payouts using FlowLedger without blending different payment channels.
Understanding Ecommerce Payouts
Ecommerce payouts consist of sales revenue minus transaction fees. Each payout is composed of two distinct parts: the net revenue after fees and the fees themselves.
Setting Up FlowLedger
To begin, connect your ecommerce platform to FlowLedger. This connection allows FlowLedger to import detailed information about each payout, including the date, amount, and any unique identifiers.
Using Money Truth Reports
Money Truth reports provide a snapshot of leftover dollars from one independent second source. These reports stay blank if only QuickBooks is connected, ensuring no false matches are created.
Reconciliation Workspace
The reconciliation workspace enables you to pair each payout movement against a second source. This workspace maintains the match status between sessions, allowing you to track progress over time.
Maintaining Separate Channels
FlowLedger ensures that different payment channels are never blended. Each channel is treated independently, preserving the integrity of financial records.
Settlements Module
The Settlements module reconstructs ecommerce payouts by separating fees and sales components. It then reconciles these components to the actual deposits received, ensuring accurate record-keeping.
Run it on your own file. Connect QuickBooks and one real source, and see the leftover in dollars. When the evidence is not there, FlowLedger leaves the field blank.
