If your Faire payout doesn't match your bank deposit, the money almost always isn't missing — it's netted. Faire pays out after subtracting its commission, so the number that hits your bank is never the number on your order totals.

Faire deducts its commission before the deposit lands. Depending on the retailer relationship, that commission runs 15–25% by tier, and the tier can shift mid-period. If you're reconciling against gross order value instead of the net payout, you'll never close the gap.
Faire fronts cash to brands and collects from retailers on net terms — 60 days is common. That means a payout can include orders your books haven't recognized yet, or exclude orders you already booked as revenue. The payout date and the order date are two different clocks.
In practice, a mismatch is one of three things:
None of these mean the money is lost. They mean the settlement report and the bank feed are describing the same cash on different timelines.
FootingKit converts your Faire payout report into a QuickBooks- or Xero-ready file that breaks out gross sales, commission, and net-terms timing line by line, then matches the total 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.
If a payout still doesn't foot after breaking out commission and timing, the most common remaining cause is a Faire adjustment — a return, a chargeback, or a promotional credit — booked in a different period than the original order. FootingKit's reconciliation report flags these individually so you can see the exact line causing the gap instead of guessing.
