Stripe Reconciliation Report
Purpose
The Stripe Reconciliation Report helps you reconcile your Stripe payouts to the transactions recorded in Rental Car Manager. Any transactions found in Stripe that are missing from RCM will be highlighted for you to manually match/reconcile. RCM transactions that are not found in Stripe will also be highlighted for you to review.
Accessing the Stripe Reconciliation Report
Reports > Other Reports > Stripe Reconciliation Report
Reconciling a Stripe Payout
Upon opening the Stripe Reconciliation Report a list of unreconciled Stripe payouts will be displayed containing the payout created and arrival dates, payout amount and a “Reconcile” button.
To begin the reconciliation process for a payout, click on
the “Reconcile” button. Payouts must be reconciled in order; you cannot
reconcile a payout until the previous payout has been reconciled.
The more transactions there are in a payout the longer the transaction
matching process will take as each transaction must be matched to a Stripe payment/refund
in RCM.
Once the matching process is complete the payout details and
any transactions that need to be reviewed/reconciled will be displayed.
If all transactions have been matched to a
Stripe payment/refund in RCM a success message will be displayed. You can then
click the “Reconcile” button to mark the payout as reconciled in RCM.
If there are unmatched transactions, they will be displayed
to be manually reconciled. The payout cannot be marked as reconciled until the
unmatched Stripe transactions are resolved. You can still reconcile a payout if
there are unmatched RCM transactions.
Please see the "Reconciling Unmatched Stripe Transactions" section for information on dealing with unmatched Stripe transactions. Unmatched RCM payments can be deleted in situations where the payment recorded in RCM is incorrect or was never successfully processed by Stripe.
Reconciling Unmatched Stripe Transactions
Clicking on the “Reconcile” button for an unmatched Stripe transaction will open a pop-up containing details about the transaction and two methods of reconciling the transaction.
Reconcile Method 1: Match to Existing RCM Payment/Refund
Clicking on the “Search for matching RCM payments” button will load any RCM payments/refunds that potentially match the Stripe transaction using the following criteria:
- Matching payment amount.
- Hasn’t already been matched to another Stripe transaction.
This will include any potential RCM payments/refunds that were manually recorded or have a different Stripe identifier to the transaction being reconciled.
If the list of returned RCM payments/refunds contains a matching transaction you can click on the “Select” button to mark it as a match and click “Reconcile” to mark the Stripe transaction as reconciled.
When no matching RCM payments/refunds are found a warning
message will be displayed along with a refresh button. In this situation you
may be able to use the transaction details at the top of the pop-up to find the
correct reservation, manually record a payment and refresh the pop-up to
display the newly added RCM payment/refund.
Reconcile Method 2: Manually reconcile transaction
You can also tick the “Manually reconcile
transaction” checkbox to mark the Stripe transaction as reconciled without
matching it to an RCM transaction.
