How To Reconcile Paystack Transactions

Reconciliation means validating that payments recorded in one system match what appears in another. For ecommerce teams, this usually means matching Paystack transactions to order records in Shopify or other backoffice reports.

Step 1

Export your transaction CSV from Paystack and your orders/payments CSV from your commerce platform for the same date range.

Step 2

Pick a common key (for example, Shopify Payment ID) and verify that both files contain that field.

Step 3

Compare datasets and classify each payment ID as matched, missing in one source, duplicated, or amount mismatch.

Step 4

Export the reconciliation report and send unresolved exceptions for manual investigation.
