Amounts received in your bank account may not be equal to the total value of orders made on a particular day of trade as shown in your POS (or in any reporting that uses your venue's local time). This is due to the way Stripe groups payments for payout (as explained in When and how do I receive my customers payments?).
Once you're clear on the timing and processing of Stripe's payout processes, you may want to dig deeper to understand the makeup of each payment, or find answers to other questions about the funds received.
Below you will find an outline of some reports that can be useful when reconciling.

Here you can see a quick overview of what funds are being held in your account, when you can expect to receive your next payout, and whether there are any recently paid out amounts on their way to your bank account.
