In this digital age it is almost impossible for businesses or sellers not to support online payment. As the majority of people go cashless or just prefer online payments. Hence that’s where payment gateway portals such as Paytm come into use. Paytm is a fairly popular payment gateway used for online transactions like bill payment, recharging, money transfer etc. plus it offers digital wallet facilities. Over the years Paytm has been incredible growth as it has been adopted by many businesses as a payment gateway partner. As a payment gateway partner, its primary function is to facilitate prepaid or online payments from customers to businesses.
Paytm charges a fee to use its services as a payment gateway partner on every order payment it processes. Since businesses deal with multiple transactions every day. It can be quite challenging to keep track of the correct amount of fee charged on each order.
Now, our automated reconciliation software can verify these payments for you easily. Our software can check if the amount charged as fee on each order is correct and also point out if any amount is overcharged or undercharged.

Settlement UTR not present
UTR is the transaction ID for payments transacted to the bank. But when the UTR for these settlements is not found then that means these orders were not transacted at all. The software displays those orders in this bucket.
Settled in Bank Account
Our software verifies with the bank statement and displays the orders for which the final settlement amount recorded in the Paytm report matches with the amount recorded in the bank statement. This means that these order payments are settled in your bank account by Paytm.
Not Settled in Bank Account
As mentioned above, the software verifies the settled amount with the Paytm report and the Bank statement. It displays the orders for which the amount to be settled in the bank is not found in the bank statement.
Given above is the final output that shows the reconciliation result. The result displayed by the software is presented in a way that is easy to understand. So that finance teams can easily keep track of the fees, taxes and the amount settled in the bank. The software also shows the overcharged or undercharged amount, which in turn helps you avoid losses in case of overcharging.
