Unlike most platforms, Faire pays out each order individually, which means you\u2019ll see many small payouts instead of consolidated transfers. Since Faire\u2019s API does not currently provide payout data, these payouts can\u2019t be synced directly. This guide explains how to reconcile Faire transactions in your accounting software (QuickBooks Online, Xero, Oracle NetSuite, etc.) using Synder and Faire reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-export-reports-for-comparison-5468ad24-ae2b-46a9-b87a-19b431161ef2\"><strong>Step 1: Export reports for comparison<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\u2019ll need reports from both Faire and your accounting software.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>From Faire:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Go to <strong>Faire \u2192 Orders \u2192 Payouts \u2192 Export.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select your desired time range.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Download the report (including order numbers and payout amounts).<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>From your accounting software:<\/strong>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Open the <strong>Faire Clearing Account, located <\/strong>in the chart of accounts and the balance sheet (this is where Synder posts sales\/fees).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Filter for the same period as your Faire report.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Export the detailed account register.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2-prepare-the-data-for-comparison-53c0a429-2355-4e46-a0e1-4bf1729337f1\"><strong>Step 2: Prepare the data for comparison<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Synder syncs Faire sales and fee transactions, it adds a <strong>\u201cbo_\u201d prefix<\/strong> to the order ID in the payment\/expense records.
