# Payout Reconciliation

> View transactions per payout batch and reconcile payments with your accounting

Payout reconciliation lets you see exactly which transactions and fees make up each payout to your bank account. Every payout batch groups the transactions that were settled together, with a full breakdown of amounts, fees, and retention.

## How payouts work

When your customers complete payments through Quidkey, those transactions are collected and grouped into **payout batches**. Each batch represents a single transfer to your bank account.

    A[Customer payments] --> B[Transactions collected]
    B --> C[Grouped into batch]
    C --> D[Fees deducted]
    D --> E[Payout to your bank]
```

Every batch includes:

* **Total amount**: the gross sum of all transactions in the batch
* **Fees**: processing fees deducted from the total
* **Retained amount**: any amount held back based on your retention rate
* **Payout amount**: the net amount transferred to your bank account

## Viewing payout batches

Navigate to **Payouts** in the Console to see all your payout batches. You can filter by status:

| Status         | Meaning                                           |
| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------- |
| **Pending**    | Batch created, awaiting execution                 |
| **Processing** | Payout transfer in progress                       |
| **Completed**  | Funds transferred to your bank account            |
| **Failed**     | Transfer failed. Contact support if this persists |

Click any batch to see the full detail page with the amount breakdown.

## Payout detail

The detail page for each batch shows:

* **Payment reference**: the unique reference for this payout, visible on your bank statement
* **Amount breakdown**: total, payout, retained, and retention rate at a glance
* **Transaction count**: how many transactions are included
* **Timestamps**: when the batch was created and executed

From the detail page you can export all transactions as CSV or Excel for reconciliation with your accounting system.

## Reconciliation workflow

A typical reconciliation flow looks like this:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Match the payout to your bank statement">
    Find the payout in your bank statement using the **payment reference**. This reference appears both in the Console and on your bank transaction.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Open the payout detail">
    Click the matching batch in the Console to see the amount breakdown and verify the payout amount matches your bank statement.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Export the transactions">
    Download the batch as CSV or Excel to get a line-by-line breakdown of every transaction, including fees, exchange rates, and customer details. See [Export transactions](/guides/payouts/export) for the full field reference.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Import into your accounting system">
    Match individual transactions against your invoices or orders using the **Order ID** and **Transaction Number** fields.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Tip>
  The **Order ID** field in the exported file corresponds to the `order_id` you provided when creating the payment. Use this to link payout transactions back to your internal records.
