Understanding Payment Deposits and Batches

Learn how to reconcile payment deposits and batches by matching Releventful payment records with your payment provider and bank activity.

Written by Naomi Sherman

Match deposits and batches to the underlying payments and dates. Use the payment report when reconciling your bank activity.

Why this matters

The event invoice brings together what the client owes, what was requested, and what was received. Review the balance and provider result before changing a schedule, recording a payment, or promising a refund.

Before you start

Open the correct event and invoice. Confirm the existing balance and any recorded payments.

In Releventful

  1. Click Reports > Paid Payments, then set the same date range and brand as the provider batch.

  2. Click Download if you need a copy and match each transaction amount and ID with the provider dashboard.

  3. Compare the provider's funding date and net deposit with the bank entry; investigate any difference before reconciling.

How to make the most of this step

An invoice can show a successful payment before the provider deposits funds in the bank. Use the provider dashboard's transaction, batch, and funding details to reconcile the deposit with invoice payments. Compare amounts and dates before concluding a payment is missing.

A useful decision

Use the configured provider's transaction status to confirm whether funds moved. An invoice can show a successful payment before the bank deposit arrives; a refund must be confirmed separately.

Check the result

Review the updated invoice, payment schedule, and client balance. Confirm live payment or refund results with the provider.

Important to know

Editing an invoice record is different from collecting or returning money. Confirm online payment or refund results with the configured provider.
