What is the definition of payment reconciliation for e-commerce?  

Payment reconciliation is a process that enables you to ensure that the transactions recorded on your bank statements match those of your Payments Gateway providers, such as marketplaces and PSPs. 

Regular payment reconciliations are recommended to quickly detect fraud and errors of any kind. Detailed ledgers with a reliable database give financial decision-makers optimum visibility of their overall cash position at all times. 

 

Problems often encountered by e-merchants? 

Managing payment reconciliation is often complex, time-consuming and risky. What’s more, it’s not always easy to track and understand the details of the cost of each incoming and outgoing payment with the various service providers: the breakdown by transaction, product fees, service provider fees and commission fees for each transition. If you need to manage several points of sale in several countries, this can quickly become quite complicated. 

But even so, few merchants have a comprehensive and robust payment control system for their ecommerce business.
