Practical guide

Review multiple stores without losing the payout boundary

Last materially reviewed 2026-09-30

Quick answerGive every connection, currency and payment service its own identity before consolidating totals.
What to know

Use a connection register

List store or marketplace, legal entity, currency, payment service, accounting destination and responsible owner in your private records. Two stores on one platform are not automatically one connection, and one store can use more than one payment service. Confirm the product’s current connection definition before choosing a plan.

What to know

Reconcile before consolidating

A combined dashboard is useful only when its components are understandable. Review settlement-level evidence first, then combine comparable periods and currencies for the reporting purpose. Do not offset an unexplained positive balance from one store against an unexplained negative in another to claim that the portfolio reconciles.

What to know

Name files for retrieval

An original naming pattern such as entity–channel–currency–settlementID makes a handoff easier than “September final final.” Preserve the provider’s original identifier inside the file or cover note. Avoid customer names, credentials and bank details in public filenames.

What to know

Define exceptions and ownership

If a connection is paused, importing history or awaiting source data, mark that status before interpreting an incomplete consolidated total. Assign the next action to the person who controls that account. Our month-end packet provides a compact cover sheet; the pricing guide helps compare plans using actual order and connection counts rather than brand names alone.
