Frequently asked questions

ERP and general finance tools handle accounting workflows, not payout matching specifically. They lack built-in understanding of PSP settlement formats, marketplace commission structures, and payout matching logic. Teams using ERPs for payout matching still end up doing significant manual work.
Yes. PayoutMatching exports reconciled data in formats compatible with major accounting tools — Exact, Xero, QuickBooks, Twinfield, and others. It complements your accounting system rather than replacing it.
