Payouts differ from sales
Platform deposits may be net of fees, refunds, and reserves, so settlement reports are needed to explain the difference.

eCommerce & retail
Sales channels and payment processors can net fees, refunds, reserves, and chargebacks before depositing cash. The bookkeeping workflow separates those components when the necessary statements and integration data are available.
