Turning payouts on

Last updated: 2 minute read

Reconciling payouts is off by default, even if you use Shopify Payments. That is deliberate: it touches your bank account and your expenses account, and that should be a choice.

Turning it on

1

Open Payment methods in the settings

On the overview via “Change” next to Payment methods.

2

Choose an account for Payment fees

Under Ledger accounts, if you had not done that yet. Without that account Boekvogel has nowhere to put the deducted fees.

3

Turn on “Reconcile Shopify Payments payouts”

From that moment payouts are processed, including those of the past 60 days.

Payouts from before you turned it on

When you turn it on, Boekvogel looks back 60 days: payouts from that period that have not been booked by Boekvogel yet are processed after all. If you have already reconciled those payouts yourself in Moneybird, check after the first run that nothing is duplicated.

Boekvogel does not reconcile a payout containing orders it did not book, for example from before your start date. That payout goes to “Needs attention” and you reconcile it yourself.

Tip. If you use Mollie or PayPal this does not apply: their payout is not in Shopify. You reconcile those clearing accounts yourself against your bank statement.
