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.
