What is Order-to-Cash Reconciliation?

Also referred to as cash application, it’s the process of matching customer orders and refunds to a payment, and ultimately to a payout in the bank account. This ensures that the data used to book key financial metrics can be accurately traced to a cash conclusion.

What Are Some Top Challenges Experienced by Companies When Reconciling with Stripe?

  • Orders and refunds are flowing into NetSuite but there’s not an easy way to match the cash sale (or customer deposit) to a payout in the bank account. The challenge comes from both the complexity and volume of transactions for an online brand.
  • Limited visibility into cash-in-transit and how an order translates to a cash payout.
  • Significant accounting complexity with foreign currency transactions, connected subscription or return services, and loyalty programs that can be difficult to account for and reconcile.
  • Multiple payment processors can exponentially increase the time to manually reconcile transactions and investigate discrepancies.
