A marketplace payout is never just sales: it's sales less fees, refunds, promotions, advertising, tax and amounts held back. Bookalyze reads every Amazon settlement, Walmart report, Noon and eBay month line by line, posts each as one clean entry split the way your accountant wants, and finds the deposit in your bank, in any currency.

## Posted, not typed

Choose an account for each kind of money once. Then post by hand, or let new settlements post themselves every day.

- Sales, refunds, fees, advertising, tax, reimbursements and amounts held back, each to its account
- One entry per settlement or month, in the marketplace's own currency
- Amazon's older settlements uploaded, or years rebuilt from one date range report
- Walmart posted only when its rows add up to Walmart's payout

## Matched to the bank

Each payout is paired with its deposit, so your sales are counted once and the clearing account comes back to zero.

- Matches in any bank account, even in another currency
- The exchange difference posted for you
- Exact matches made automatically every day
- Checks that your books agree with each marketplace's balance

## How it works

1. **Connect a marketplace.** Amazon, Walmart, Noon or eBay. Settlements start coming in on their own.
2. **Choose the accounts.** Where sales, fees, refunds, ads, tax and held-back amounts go, and the day posting starts.
3. **Post and match.** By hand, or automatically every day. Each payout finds its bank deposit.

## Questions

### Which marketplaces?

Amazon (North America, Europe, the Middle East and the Far East), Walmart (US, Canada, Mexico), Noon (UAE, Saudi Arabia, Egypt) and eBay.

### Do orders post to my books too?

No: orders are for running the business. What you were paid comes from the settlements, so nothing is counted twice.
