Stripe export guide
Which Stripe export should I use for payout reconciliation?
Choose the report based on the question you need to answer: “Did this net payout reach the bank?” or “Which balance transactions explain the payout?”
Stripe’s documentation describes payout reporting and the payout reconciliation report as ways to inspect automatic payouts and the transactions included in them. Start with Stripe payout reporting and Stripe’s payout detail guidance.
| Export shape | Useful for | What may be missing |
|---|---|---|
| Itemized/detailed payout reconciliation CSV | Grouping transaction-level rows under payout IDs and explaining fees, refunds, adjustments, or other components. | Exact columns vary by Stripe account/report configuration. Customer-generated compatibility with this pilot is still being validated. |
| Payout-level summary CSV | Comparing payout ID, date, net amount, and currency with bank deposits. | It may not contain the transaction detail needed to explain a difference. |
| Balance or activity reports | Investigating balance movement and transaction categories. | They are not automatically equivalent to a payout-to-bank export. |
Before importing
- Check that the file is a CSV and that its content matches the role you selected.
- Look for payout ID, payout date, net/amount, and currency in payout-level data.
- For detailed mode, look for transaction-level detail or fee/category signals.
- Keep the original export on your device; never email financial files for support.
Compatibility notice: Payout Reconciler’s parser is validated against synthetic and selected structural fixtures. Compatibility with customer-generated Stripe exports is currently being validated during the public pilot.
