Amazon sold it. Why is the deposit smaller? Down to every fee.
Futureproof breaks Amazon and eBay payouts into the sales, refunds and fees behind the deposit, and matches Shopify payouts to theirs. Bank and card charges are categorized as they come in, and you approve a month that matches your bank.
A brand's marketplace payouts land as one number
When an outside bookkeeper keeps your QuickBooks, or you keep it yourself, each payout is rebuilt from the settlement report or posted as one summary by an add-on app.
- Every two weeks, the payoutYou export the settlement report, sort it into sales, refunds and fees, and work at it until the total matches the deposit in your bank.
- The refund from last monthA customer returns an order weeks after the sale, the refund comes off a later payout, and nobody can tie it back to the order.
- Fees read at quarter endNobody reads what a payout is made of until the quarter is over, so a fee that grew is found months late.
Your books stay current all month.
Payouts, refunds and card charges are in your brand's books through the month, and each month closes on reconciled accounts that you or your fractional CFO approve.
What your brand gets
- Each Amazon, eBay and Shopify payout adds up to the deposit in your bank, and a payout with no deposit is listed for you.
- Each refund tied to the order it came from, in the month it lands, on that channel's returns line.
- Fees by type and by channel every month, so you see which fee grew and where.
- Gross sales and refunds sit by channel in your books, ready when a lender or your CPA asks.

What CEOs and fractional CFOs ask
Payouts are broken out and matched, and bank and card charges are categorized as they come in, and at month end you or your fractional CFO approve the month on reconciled accounts.
Each Amazon and eBay payout is broken into its sales, refunds and fees, and those lines add up to the deposit in your bank. Shopify payouts are matched to their deposits. Sales post at full value to each channel, and the payout comes in as money on its way to your bank, never as a second sale.
The refund posts in the month it arrives and is linked to the order it came from. It comes off that channel's own returns line in the month it arrives, and the month of the sale stays as you approved it.
Each payout is matched to the deposit in your bank, and a payout with no deposit is listed for you. A difference nobody can explain is left open for you or your fractional CFO, and raising it with the marketplace stays your call.
Payouts, refunds and bank and card charges reach your books as they come in, rather than at the end of your bookkeeper's monthly cycle. You also get a monthly review with a human financial specialist, and the books are yours to export.
Yes. Each channel has its own P&L, month by month, so a fee that grew on one channel reads against the others. On Amazon, referral, fulfillment and storage fees each have a line of their own.
