Shopify Payments payouts CSV
Shopify Payments' payouts export has one row per payout: charges, refunds, adjustments, reserved funds, fees and the total sent to your bank.
How to export it
- In Shopify admin open Finances, then Payouts.
- Choose the dates and click Export.
- Upload the downloaded CSV here.
What to know about this file
- One row per payout with Charges, Refunds, Adjustments, Reserved Funds, Fees, Retried Amount and Total.
- Each paid payout becomes its parts plus the payout itself, so the Shopify balance nets to zero for every payout.
- A failed payout's sales, refunds and fees are kept and stay in the Shopify balance; a later Retried Amount is paid out of that balance, not booked as income. Scheduled and in-transit payouts are left out.
- A row whose columns do not add up to its Total is left out with a note.
Questions
- Which Shopify export should I use?
- For a Shopify Payments balance account in your books, the transactions export from Finances, Payouts. For one journal entry per payout, the payouts export, which has a page of its own here.
- What about rows that are still pending?
- Rows whose payout status is not paid have not reached your bank yet. They are included in the account, and the notes say how many are still pending.
- Why is my Shopify payout smaller than my sales?
- Shopify Payments takes its fees and any refunds, adjustments and reserved funds before it pays out. The payouts export lists each, and the journal entry gives each its own line, so the payout total matches the deposit.
- What happens to failed payouts?
- The sales, refunds and fees inside a failed payout are still recorded, but no money reached your bank, so the journal keeps that amount in the clearing account. When a later payout shows it as a Retried Amount, it comes out of the clearing account again instead of being counted as income twice. Scheduled and in-transit payouts are left out until they are paid.
