Faire invoice doesn't match payout deposit

A Faire invoice not matching its payout deposit is a timing problem, not a missing-money problem — Faire fronts your invoice total to you, then collects from the retailer separately, on the retailer's own terms.

Faire pays you before it gets paid

On net-terms orders, Faire advances the brand its share of the invoice, then collects from the wholesale retailer later — often on 60-day terms. That means the invoice date and the payout date can sit two months apart, and neither one alone tells you what actually hit your bank this period.

Commission is subtracted at invoice, not at payout

Faire's commission comes out of the invoice total before the advance is calculated, so the payout was never going to equal the invoice amount even without any timing gap. Comparing the two numbers directly, ignoring commission, will always show a "shortfall" that isn't one.

A single payout can span multiple invoices

Because Faire batches advances, one bank deposit can represent several invoices from different order dates, each at a different commission tier, collected on different net-terms schedules. Matching payouts to invoices one-to-one breaks down fast at any real order volume.

What's usually behind the mismatch

How FootingKit reconciles it

FootingKit converts your Faire invoice and payout data into a QuickBooks- or Xero-ready entry that ties each advance back to its source invoices, commission, and net-terms timing, so the total nets to your actual bank deposit. Every payout is verified to net exactly to its bank deposit, or the conversion is flagged and re-run — free.

FAQ: What if a retailer never pays their net-terms invoice?

If a retailer defaults, Faire absorbs the collection risk on advanced invoices under its standard terms — FootingKit's reconciliation flags any invoice whose expected collection didn't clear as scheduled, so you're not left guessing which line caused a gap.
