Because the accounting platform does not store those individual transactions one by one, Synder instead compares your payment platform data to its <strong>internal transaction-level records<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-reconciliation-works-dbe0abf9-c849-43d2-b571-81e10e664823\"><strong>How Reconciliation Works<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transaction Reconciliation compares:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Payment platform data<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Synder&#8217;s transaction-level source data<\/strong> (used for summaries)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Important:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>This workflow validates transactions <strong>before they appear on your ledger<\/strong>. In Per Transaction Sync, users usually compare platform records against the transaction-level entries Synder already synced to accounting. However, in Summary Sync, that is not the main use case, because once Synder groups transactions into summary lines, the books no longer keep a clean transaction-by-transaction trail.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Sync status does not change the reconciliation result.<\/strong> The comparison checks whether the payment platform data matches the transaction-level source data Synder holds. As a result, the answer stays the same whether Synder has already synced the related summary or not.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The main goal is to <strong>detect data gaps before sync<\/strong>. If transactions are missing, mismatched, or failed at the source-data level, you want to catch that before those transactions are grouped into summaries. That gives you time to investigate before the summary is built or synced.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why-timing-is-critical-c6f853e7-bd8a-4726-a4b4-477c1aca7ff7\">Why Timing Is Critical<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Run <strong>Transaction Reconciliation<\/strong> <strong>before<\/strong> summaries sync. That way, Synder has already validated the data reaching your books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Pre-sync validation saves time<\/strong> because it helps you avoid rebuilding summaries later and searching for issues after the sync has already happened.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"prerequisites-ebea2fd6-0e16-40a9-9c3e-91af4bbf821d\">Prerequisites<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you start, confirm the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Payment platform connected to Synder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Summary Sync configured<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Know your validation period<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ideally, the related summaries have not been synced yet<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"supported-platforms-203f89f5-293d-418e-9da5-491d853f053d\">Supported Platforms<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Platform<\/th>\n<th>Automated<\/th>\n<th>Assisted<\/th>\n<th>Manual<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Stripe<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>PayPal<\/td>\n<td>\u274c<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Shopify<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Amazon<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>All other integrations<\/td>\n<td>\u274c<\/td>\n<td>\u274c<\/td>\n<td>\u2705<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-to-reconcile-stripe-transactions-automated-56397cf2-1098-4ed2-9427-a2ff207db315\"><strong>How to reconcile Stripe, Shopify and Amazon transactions (Automated)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For Stripe, Synder fully automates the reconciliation.

As a result, they are fully reconciled. <strong>No action needed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each row is one match, not one transaction. <strong>Matching ID<\/strong> is the identifier Synder matched on, <strong>Total amount<\/strong> is the net amount of the match, <strong>Types<\/strong> lists the transaction types involved on both sides, <strong>Match type<\/strong> shows how the match was made \u2014 <strong>Auto<\/strong>, <strong>Assisted<\/strong> or <strong>Manual<\/strong> \u2014 and <strong>Count<\/strong> is how many rows make up the match, counting both sides together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expand any row to see the underlying entries split into <strong>Synder rows<\/strong> and <strong>Integration rows<\/strong>, each with its Date, Primary ID, Secondary ID, Transaction type and Amount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The two sides often hold different numbers of rows, and that is normal \u2014 each side records the same order in its own way. For example, one Amazon order totalling <strong>28.06 USD<\/strong> is held in Synder as <strong>4 rows<\/strong>: a <strong>Payment<\/strong> of <strong>37.90 USD<\/strong> and three <strong>Expense<\/strong> rows of <strong>-3.86<\/strong>, <strong>-5.69<\/strong> and <strong>-0.29 USD<\/strong>. Amazon\u2019s own report holds <strong>6 rows<\/strong> for the same order, including a <strong>+2.99<\/strong> and a <strong>-2.99<\/strong> that cancel each other out. Both sides net to the same 28.06, so the match is correct \u2014 and <strong>Count<\/strong> reads <strong>10<\/strong>, the two sides added together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/txnrecon-summary-2026-08-s05-matched.png\" alt=\"Matched tab with an expanded row showing Synder rows and Integration rows\" class=\"wp-image-30994\" srcset=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/txnrecon-summary-2026-08-s05-matched.png 1280w, https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/txnrecon-summary-2026-08-s05-matched-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/txnrecon-summary-2026-08-s05-matched-1024x558.png 1024w, https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/txnrecon-summary-2026-08-s05-matched-768x419.png 768w, https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/txnrecon-summary-2026-08-s05-matched-1080x589.png 1080w, https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/txnrecon-summary-2026-08-s05-matched-60x33.png 60w, https:\/\/synder.com\/help\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/08\/txnrecon-summary-2026-08-s05-matched-150x82.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"discrepancy-46e7d105-fcb2-4b1d-b41c-209bf807b744\"><strong>Discrepancy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These transactions matched by ID, but the <strong>amounts differ<\/strong>.

Therefore, a \u201cReconciled\u201d result does not confirm Synder synced the data correctly to your books. If Transaction Reconciliation shows \u201cReconciled\u201d but you see discrepancies in your accounting software, first check that your summaries synced and your account mapping is correct. If the issue persists, contact Synder support with the specific differences so we can investigate and guide you through the mapping.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reconciliation periods <strong>cannot overlap<\/strong> for the same clearing account.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stripe and Shopify automation may take <strong>up to an hour<\/strong> for large date ranges.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>For PayPal and other integrations, <\/strong>you must upload reports manually \u2014 Synder does not offer automatic download for these platforms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Synder automatically excludes certain PayPal transaction types, such as Currency Conversion and Account Holds. This prevents false discrepancies.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Synder matches based on <strong>IDs and amounts only<\/strong>. In other words, it does not compare transaction dates.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>For <strong>multi-currency accounts<\/strong>, make sure the currency in your payment platform report matches your accounting records.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>You <strong>cannot select today\u2019s date<\/strong> for a reconciliation period. The payment platform may not have finalized today\u2019s transactions yet.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Synder marks a period as \u201cReconciled\u201d only when nothing is left unresolved in the Discrepancy and Missing source tabs. Transactions you have ignored count as resolved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"faq-summary-sync-reconciliation\"><strong>FAQ<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Should I run Transaction Reconciliation before or after syncing summaries?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A:<\/strong> Before syncing summaries, whenever possible. That is the safest workflow for Summary Sync users, because it lets you catch missing or mismatched source data before it is grouped into summary lines. If you wait until after sync, fixing the issue becomes more complicated and may require rebuilding, rolling back, or adjusting summaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What exactly am I comparing in Summary Sync?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A:<\/strong> You are comparing the payment platform data with the transaction-level source data stored in Synder. This is the data Synder later uses to build summaries. In other words, the tool helps you confirm that the source data inside Synder is complete and accurate before you sync the summary to your books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If the summary is already synced, can I still use Transaction Reconciliation?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A:<\/strong> Yes, but it is harder to act on the result. Once the summary is already synced, you may need to identify which summary was affected, determine whether more than one summary was impacted, and then decide whether to rebuild it, roll it back, or correct the issue with an adjusting entry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>If I find missing transactions, can I fix them myself?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A:<\/strong> Sometimes you can fix obvious setup issues on your own, such as selecting the wrong date range or uploading the wrong file. However, if the problem is caused by failed, missing, or incomplete source data in Synder, users often need help from Synder Support to investigate and resolve it properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Does sync status itself affect the reconciliation result?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A:<\/strong> No. This workflow is a data completeness check, not a sync-status check. In other words, whether Synder has already synced the related summary does not change whether the underlying transaction-level data matches the payment platform data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Can I undo an ignored transaction?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A:<\/strong> Yes. Go to the <strong>Ignored<\/strong> tab and un-ignore it. It moves back to its original category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/synder.com\/contact\/\"><em>Reach out to Synder Team<\/em><\/a><strong> <\/strong>via online support chat or email with any questions you have \u2013 we are always happy to help you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to use Synder Transaction Reconciliation for Summary Sync to validate transaction-level data before summaries sync to your books.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2316,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","advgb_blocks_editor_width":"","advgb_blocks_columns_visual_guide":"","footnotes":"","_ppma_block_editor_authors":""},"categories":[473,384,56],"tags":[],"ppma_author":[349],"class_list":["post-27233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-transaction-reconciliation-module","category-useful-reconciliation-features","category-reconciliation"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Summary Sync Transaction Reconciliation - Synder<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Validate Summary Sync transaction reconciliation in Synder before summaries sync.
