The job to be done
Reconcile Shopify payouts and fees to the books
When Shopify payouts bundle refunds, gift cards, chargebacks, shipping and processor fees so deposits never match order values, a store owner needs to reconcile each payout to its orders and books, so they can stop losing hours to manual bookkeeping and know true per-product profit.
