Shopify Payouts vs Sales: Why Your Bank Balance Doesn’t Match Your Dashboard

Ever looked at your Shopify sales and thought,
"Wait, where’s all that money?"

You're not alone.

Here’s what’s really happening 👇

🛒 Shopify Sales ≠ What Hits Your Bank
Your sales dashboard shows gross revenue—the total before fees, returns, and chargebacks.

But when Shopify sends payouts, it subtracts:
✔️ Payment processing fees
✔️ Refunds
✔️ Shopify fees
✔️ Currency conversions
✔️ Chargebacks (ouch)

The result?
Your bank deposit is always lower than your “sales” number.

✅ As a bookkeeper for Shopify businesses, I help store owners connect the dots between their sales, fees, and payouts—so they actually know what they’re earning.

👉 If your dashboard and bank balance are telling two different stories, it might be time to look at your bookkeeping setup.
