Integration

Reckon Pin Payments Integration
so the money that came in matches the books.

Pin Payments pays out in batches, net of fees. Reckon expects that payments are recorded and then reconciled against the bank statement. Connecting the two is mostly about making those two facts agree, every day, without anybody checking.

What actually goes wrong

The deposit and the invoice were never going to match

The batch payout hides the individual charges and the fees, so gross revenue and merchant fees have to be reconstructed rather than read off the bank statement.

And on the other side, Reckon has fewer built-in hooks than the cloud products, so the practical question is usually how data gets in at all, not how it posts once it is there.

Two ways we do this

Connector setup, or a custom integration

Most businesses need the first. Some need the second. We will tell you which before you spend anything.

  1. Connector setup

    Where a supported connector already exists for Reckon and Pin Payments, we install it, configure it against your chart of accounts, test it on your real data, and hand it over with a written guide your team can actually follow. No ongoing dependency on us.

  2. Custom integration

    When no connector exists, or the one that does cannot handle how your business records things, we build it. Transactions posted the way your accounting actually works, exceptions handled, and support afterwards.

  3. Knowing which you need

    This is the part worth paying attention to. Plenty of businesses are sold a custom build when a connector would have done, and plenty struggle on with a connector that was never going to fit. We look first and say which.

Before

Reconciled by hand, every month

  • One deposit covering payments nobody can split apart
  • Merchant fees netted off revenue, so gross sales are understated
  • Refunds and failed payments found weeks later
  • A month end that never quite closes cleanly

After

Posted correctly, on the day

  • Pin Payments activity posted into Reckon automatically
  • Fees in their own account, where they belong
  • Refunds and chargebacks handled rather than discovered
  • A bank reconciliation that closes without a spreadsheet

Scoped and quoted before you commit. If the standard connector will do the job, we will say so.

Common questions

Reckon Pin Payments Integration questions

Is there a standard connector for Reckon and Pin Payments?

That is the first thing we check, and the answer decides which of our two services you need. Where a supported connector exists we will tell you, set it up properly and hand it over rather than quietly building something you did not need. Where one does not exist, or exists but does not do what your accounting actually requires, that is a custom integration.

Why does the deposit never match the invoice?

Pin Payments pays out in batches, net of fees. The batch payout hides the individual charges and the fees, so gross revenue and merchant fees have to be reconstructed rather than read off the bank statement.

What does that mean inside Reckon?

In Reckon, payments are recorded and then reconciled against the bank statement. Reckon has fewer built-in hooks than the cloud products, so the practical question is usually how data gets in at all, not how it posts once it is there.

Can you fix the fees showing up in the wrong place?

Yes, and it is the most common thing we are asked to correct. Merchant fees belong in their own expense account, not netted off revenue, or your gross sales figure is understated and your margin looks better than it is. Fixing it usually means a clearing account and a posting rule, not a bigger system.

What about refunds, chargebacks and failed payments?

They are the part that gets skipped, and they are the part that causes the argument at month end. Each one has to post to the right account on the right date, and a failure that arrives after the payment was already recorded has to reverse cleanly rather than being deleted.

Do you support it afterwards?

Yes. Both Reckon and Pin Payments change on their own schedules, so an integration nobody maintains is an integration that breaks quietly. We offer ongoing support and we will tell you plainly if the honest answer is that you do not need it.
