Sales total is not deposit truth

Reserve rows need their own timeline

FAQ

Questions store owners ask before ordering an audit.

Why does my Shopify bank deposit not match sales?

Dashboard sales usually do not equal one bank deposit. Fees, refunds, chargebacks, reserves, split payouts, pending rows, currency conversion, and date windows can all change the deposit amount.

What should I compare first?

Compare payout IDs, payout dates, bank deposit dates, gross sales, fees, refunds, chargebacks, and reserves for the same date window.

When should this become a reserve evidence pack?

If reserve rows, Balance restrictions, payout holds, fraud reviews, or processor messages explain the gap, move the case into a reserve evidence timeline.
