Banking → Payment Platforms.

A processor does not deposit what your customers paid. It deposits a batch, less its fees and refunds — and recording that one figure as revenue is the commonest way an online business overstates income and leaves the bank unreconciled.

**Setting up a platform.** *Connect* on a platform's card saves where its payouts post: the deposit bank account, the fee expense account and the income account for gross sales. It does not log in to the platform.

**Importing payouts.** *Import payouts*, paste the payout data, then *Post*. Each payout must add up — gross less fees less refunds equals net — or it is rejected.

**Each payout is split into its parts.** Gross sales are credited to income, fees go to the fee account, refunds to sales returns, and the net to the bank. When a bank line for the exact net amount is waiting for review in that account, within a few days of the payout, it is matched automatically; otherwise match it in the review queue.

Fees become a visible expense rather than a silent haircut on revenue — the page shows gross processed, processing fees, the blended rate and net received.

Payouts carry their platform reference, so the same batch is never imported twice; repeats are reported as duplicates skipped. Platforms covered: Stripe, Square, PayPal, Venmo Business, Shopify Payments and Amazon Pay.
