What it does

Closes the loop between Stripe payouts and your bank ledger. Each time Stripe finalizes a payout, it pulls the payout's gross volume, processing fees, and net amount, then verifies a matching bank deposit was booked in Postgres for the same net within tolerance. Mismatches and missing deposits are flagged immediately.

When to use it

Use this when Stripe is a material revenue channel and you need every payout to land cleanly in the books. It catches delayed bank credits, fee discrepancies, and payouts that never posted, so processor cash is never silently unreconciled.

How it works

  1. 1A Stripe webhook fires on the payout.paid event.
  2. 2An action call enriches the payout with its balance-transaction breakdown of gross and fees.
  3. 3Queries Postgres for a bank deposit matching the payout's net amount and expected arrival date.
  4. 4Logic step compares net to the deposit within a one-cent tolerance and classifies as matched, off-by-amount, or not-found.
  5. 5If not matched, posts an alert to the treasury Slack channel with the payout id, expected net, and what was found.
