Reconciling Stripe Payments

What is Stripe?

Stripe is a developer-oriented commerce company helping small and large companies accept web and mobile payments. Stripe offers a suite of APIs powering online payment processing and commerce solutions for internet businesses of all sizes.

What is Order-to-Cash Reconciliation?

At a high level, 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.
