Where the report is in Stripe
Balance > Payouts > payout detail, exported as CSV or PDF; or the Balance summary report for a period.
How Stripe fees work
Stripe deducts its fee from each charge, so the payout is net of fees. Refunds return the fee only in some cases; PayoutParse reads the printed figures rather than assuming.
Posting it in FreeAgent
FreeAgent imports a 3 column CSV (date, amount, description). The payout split is provided as a separate journal CSV. The journal PayoutParse produces uses Sales, Fees and a bank clearing line per payout; change the account codes in the file to match your chart of accounts before importing.
The check
For each payout, gross less fees less refunds less chargebacks plus adjustments must equal the printed net. If it doesn't, the file is marked needs review and is not charged.
