Ask for a payment-source map

A store has $1,000 in sales: $800 paid through Shopify Payments and $200 through another gateway. Ask the firm to show both settlement paths and confirm that the bank deposits clear those balances rather than create another $1,000 in sales.

  • Which payment gateways will you reconcile besides Shopify Payments?
  • How do you account for refunds that settle after the original sale?
  • How do you keep Shopify bills separate from fees deducted from payouts?
  • How do you review payment clearing balances at month end?

These are simplified discussion examples. Your settlement reports and accounting policy determine the actual entries.

Check fit before you hire

Ask whether the proposal includes monthly reconciliation, cleanup, tax filings, and inventory work. Confirm your accounting system and the integration the firm uses. A firm's marketplace experience does not mean it uses Taxomate.

Keep the account in your business's name. Agree on access, review dates, deliverables, and how unresolved payout differences will be handled.
