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.
The cost comparison depends on your team’s time cost for manual reconciliation. For most teams processing hundreds of transactions per month, the time saved by PayoutMatching significantly exceeds the software cost within the first quarter.
