Processor payout

A deposit from Stripe, Square or PayPal that bundles several customer payments minus fees. Matching it empties the clearing account.

In Solo Superstars

The payout arrives as a bank transaction. Alison matches it to the payments it covers and posts the movement from clearing to checking; a payout that does not fit any set of payments waits in review.

Example

A 1,649 deposit matched to payments of 1,164 and 485: debit 1010 Checking 1,649, credit 1310 Stripe Clearing 1,649.
