See every featureShopify pays you in batches. Your books post the pieces separately. Somewhere in between, the two quietly drift apart. Finding where can take hours. We've lived that gap ourselves, so we built the audit we needed: Payout Proof pulls every payout and fee from Shopify, matches them to your Xero ledger to the cent, and turns each discrepancy into a plain-English exception with numbered fix steps.

How Shoplist compares apps
