Shopify deposits your orders minus fees, refunds, chargebacks and held reserves — so the number that lands in your bank never ties to what you actually sold. NetClear rebuilds every payout and explains the gap in plain English — no accountant required.
✓ Read-only — never moves your money ✓ Free to use ✓ No signup ✓ No card
One payout is dozens of orders, minus processing fees, minus refunds (sometimes from a sale two weeks ago), minus a chargeback, minus funds held in reserve. To tie it back to your bank you export the transactions and add it all up by hand. NetClear does that the moment you connect — and tells you the story behind every number.
The deposit never matches sales. Fees, refunds, and adjustments are all bundled into one number.— a Shopify store owner
Why doesn't the money in my bank match what Shopify says I sold?— a Shopify store owner
Gives you a queue of transactions and asks you to match each one to a bank deposit. When the totals still don't line up, you're on your own to figure out why.
Rebuilds the deposit from its parts and names every reason it differs from your sales — down to the penny, in words you don't need an accountant to read.
NetClear rolls up every payout in the period, breaks the total down by cause, and pushes the payouts that need a human eye straight to the top. No more scrolling a spreadsheet hoping to spot the one that's wrong.
Sync apps rewrite your accounting to force a match — and when they break, you get duplicated orders, missing sales tax, and deposits that don't reconcile for weeks. NetClear works the other way around: it never writes to your books and never moves your money. It reads the Shopify ledger, ties every payout out to the penny, and hands you the explanation. There's nothing to break.
It reads your payout ledger through Shopify's official connection. It can't edit your books or move a cent.
Each payout is rebuilt from its own transaction rows, so the total always equals your deposit — guaranteed by arithmetic, not by a sync that hopes to match.
Get a balanced journal entry to hand your bookkeeper or paste into QuickBooks. You decide what gets booked — nothing posts on its own.
NetClear is in early access — built in the open with Shopify store owners. Right now it's completely free to use: bring your payouts export and see every payout explained, no signup, no card. Paid plans come later, once it's earning its keep for you.
A2X is a solid tool — but it's built for accountants, priced for them, and it writes summarized entries into your books. NetClear is built for the store owner: it reads your payouts without touching your accounting, explains every gap in a sentence you don't need a bookkeeping background to follow, and gives you a journal entry only if you want one. Simpler to use, safer to run, and a fraction of the price. (Sync tools like Synder go further into your books — which is also where they tend to break.)
NetClear reads your payout and transaction data through Shopify's official, permissioned connection. We never see your card numbers or customer payment details, and we never move your money — we only read the ledger to explain it.

No. NetClear is written for the store owner. Every explanation is a sentence, not a journal entry. When you do hand it to a bookkeeper, the monthly packet gives them everything already tied out.
