Hopscotch Marketplace Reconciliation with Cointab
Hopscotch sellers often need to reconcile sales, settlements, debit notes, payment reports, and bank credits across multiple files. Cointab helps finance teams run Hopscotch marketplace reconciliation in a structured, reusable workflow so they can compare internal records with marketplace reports, isolate exceptions, and download audit-ready outputs.
Why Hopscotch reconciliation becomes complex
Marketplace reconciliation is rarely a simple one-to-one match. For Hopscotch sellers, the challenge usually comes from multiple moving parts:
- Sales data may sit in the internal order report or books.
- Hopscotch may provide separate invoice, payment, settlement, or debit note files.
- Returns, cancellations, and deductions can change the final payout.
- Bank credits may arrive later than the marketplace report.
- Different teams may prepare the same reconciliation differently in Excel.
As volumes grow, manual checks become repetitive and difficult to audit. That is where a structured reconciliation workflow is more useful than a spreadsheet-only process.
How Cointab structures Hopscotch marketplace reconciliation
Cointab uses a Side A and Side B model:
- Side A contains the records your business expects to be correct, such as internal sales data, order reports, ledger exports, or books.
- Side B contains the external records received from Hopscotch, the bank, or other partner reports.
For a Hopscotch workflow, teams can map files such as:
- Hopscotch invoice report
- Hopscotch payment report
- Hopscotch settlement report
- Hopscotch debit note
- Bank statement
- Internal sales or order report
Users map fields like date, amount, and order or transaction identifiers once, then reuse the same setup for future periods.
Common reports used in Hopscotch reconciliation
| Report | Reconciliation role |
|---|---|
| Hopscotch invoice report | Reference for order-level sales, charges, and billed amounts |
| Hopscotch payment report | Shows payment and payout-related details |
| Hopscotch settlement report | Helps compare expected settlement against actual receipt |
| Hopscotch debit note | Captures deductions linked to returns, cancellations, or adjustments |
| Bank statement | Confirms what actually reached the bank |
| Internal sales report | Acts as the business-side source of truth |
Supporting data can also be uploaded when teams need to enrich or prepare records before reconciliation. This can include product master files, SKU mappings, fee rate files, order metadata, or customer and vendor master data.
What Cointab matches in the workflow
Cointab's reconciliation engine applies structured matching logic to identify how records relate across the two sides. In a Hopscotch workflow, this can include:
- Order ID to order ID matching
- Transaction reference to settlement reference matching
- Invoice amount to payout amount comparison
- Settlement amount to bank credit comparison
- Fee, return, or adjustment analysis where the final amount does not match exactly
The engine supports:
- one-to-one matches
- one-to-many and many-to-one matches
- partial matches
- net-to-net comparisons
- contra or offsetting entries
- grouped transaction matching
If identifiers are incomplete or formats vary, users can create derived columns to clean IDs, normalize amounts, or calculate net values before reconciliation.
How exceptions are reviewed
After the structured matching step, Cointab separates transactions into clear outcome buckets:
- Fully matched: identifiers and amounts align according to the reconciliation logic.
- Partially matched: records are related, but amounts differ and need review.
- Unmatched: records appear on one side only.
- Skipped: records were excluded because of missing data, invalid values, duplication, or another file issue.
This helps finance teams focus on exceptions instead of checking every row manually.
Users can filter the report, inspect transaction-level details, and manually match items where the business context is clear but the system cannot confidently determine the match.
Hopscotch payment and settlement reconciliation
Many marketplace teams use Hopscotch reconciliation to compare what was invoiced with what was settled and what actually reached the bank. This is useful when the final payout includes deductions, returns, or timing differences.
Typical review points include:
- whether the invoice amount aligns with expected payout components
- whether deductions are explained by a debit note or adjustment
- whether the settlement amount matches the bank credit
- whether a missing or delayed file explains an open item
Cointab keeps these open transactions visible so teams can track discrepancies, follow up with the marketplace, or correct internal records.
Reconciliation runs can be reused and automated
Once a Hopscotch reconciliation is configured, it can be reused for future periods without rebuilding the workflow each time. Teams can run it manually or automate the process using email, SFTP, or API-based inputs.
Automation can help with:
- recurring daily or monthly reconciliation runs
- automatic file validation before processing
- scheduled report generation
- output delivery to internal systems
- keeping finance, accounting, analytics, or BI systems updated
If a file arrives late, users can upload the missed file under the same reconciliation and refresh the report.
Audit-ready reporting for finance teams
At the end of the run, users can review a reconciliation dashboard with transaction-level detail and export an Excel report. This makes it easier to support month-end close, partner follow-up, and audit review.
The report can include:
- summary totals
- fully matched items
- partially matched items
- unmatched items
- skipped items
- detailed transaction tables
- manual match history
- run history for future reference
For Hopscotch sellers, this creates a clearer view of what was sold, what was settled, what was deducted, and what still needs attention.
