FAQ

Why doesn’t the payout total equal the sum of the payments and refunds?

  • Chargebacks aren’t included in this report. If a payment had a chargeback, it will still appear here, which may cause a mismatch.
  • There’s no direct link between individual payments/refunds and payouts—these are estimates of which transactions belong to which payout. The payout amounts should match what’s deposited in your bank, but the sum of individual payments/refunds may not equal the total payout.
