Bookkeeping
Merchants need records they can reconcile, not only payment confirmations.
Merchant Stack helps keep sales activity connected to wallet records, orders, receipts, and exports.
What to record
For each merchant workflow, make sure the merchant can answer:
- what was sold
- when it was sold
- how the customer paid
- which wallet received the payment
- whether tax was included or added
- whether the order was fulfilled
- whether the sale was refunded, written off, or manually settled
LNbits records
LNbits can help with:
- wallet transaction history
- payment hashes and invoice records
- Orders records
- TPoS source tracking
- exchange-rate data
- CSV exports where available
- accounting integrations where configured
Fiat and Bitcoin together
If a merchant accepts both card and Bitcoin payments, decide how records should flow into accounting tools.
For example:
- Stripe may already sync fiat/card payments to the merchant's accounting system.
- LNbits records can help track Bitcoin payments and LNbits-side operational data.
- Orders can preserve line items and receipt context.
Manual settlement caution
Cash settlement, card settlement, write-offs, and on-chain settlement records can affect the merchant's accounting view.
Keep these workflows restricted to trusted staff and document when each method should be used.
