Settlement Invoices

How settlement invoices work for accounting and revenue recognition.

Settlement Invoices

At the end of each billing cycle, Bag provides a consolidated settlement invoice showing your net payout.


Billing Frequency

Settlement invoices are generated:

  • Bi-weekly - Every two weeks
  • Monthly - Once per month

Frequency is configurable based on your merchant tier and transaction volume.


Currency

All settlement invoices are denominated in:

  • USD (default for US-based merchants)
  • Local fiat currency of your business location
  • Never in stablecoins - Even though customers may pay in USDC, settlement invoices are in fiat

Stablecoin payments are converted to fiat at the time of transaction. The invoice shows:

  • Original USDC amount
  • Fiat equivalent

Accounting Integration

Settlement invoices are designed for clean accounting:

  • One invoice per billing period
  • Net payout amount matches bank deposit
  • Tax obligations already handled by Bag (as MoR)
  • Revenue recognition is straightforward: book revenue = settlement invoice amount

Your accountant or bookkeeping software can treat the settlement invoice as a standard vendor invoice.

This makes reconciliation with your bank account simple and transparent.
