Understand currencies, daily spending updates, payout details and recorded settlement history. [Guide contents](./contents) A customer topping up their balance does not make the whole payment your income. Funds are spent on device service. Settlement depends on who received the money: your company or an integrated electronic payment service. Open **Finance** to view receipts, unpaid invoices, customer spending and settlement with the platform. All figures in this guide are demonstration values, not a tariff offer or a promise of payout terms. ## Choose the period first Use **Mutual settlements period** on the right, select a month and click **Change**. The selector offers the current month and the two preceding months. This changes the monthly settlement and spending sections. The receipts table above remains a month-by-month summary for the current year. Unpaid invoices cover all dates. **Spending is not updated in real time.** This page uses a daily archive; today's charges may appear after its next update. Monthly estimates and the document-preparation table have the same delay. To check a just-received top-up, use the customer's account rather than treating this report as a live balance. ![Settlement period, payout details and a demonstration USD/EUR rate](https://hosting-help.livegpstracks.com/storage/projects/45/pages/515/2026/09/d6beb5d9-8371-429d-8054-c83ba450d6bd.webp) *The right-hand block. The period changes the monthly calculation; payout details are saved separately. The service, address and exchange rate are demonstration data.* ## Receipts: what customers have paid The monthly receipts table separates payment services and currencies. Click an amount to open that month's transactions, then follow a customer link to inspect their receipts. An unpaid invoice is not a receipt. Do not add different currencies together without conversion: each total has its own currency. The detailed list has a payment-service filter. Some options are legacy services. If your provider is not listed, leave **All** selected and locate it in the table. An empty result under an old filter does not prove that a payment is missing. ![Demonstration September receipts: 20 EUR by bank transfer and 10 EUR through PayPal](https://hosting-help.livegpstracks.com/storage/projects/45/pages/515/2026/09/c4280246-cae2-400f-a008-68697abf3e1a.webp) *Receipts are not the same as spending or income. The unpaid invoice is not included in these figures.* ## Spending: what was charged The customer spending table shows the date, customer payment, customer tariff, hosting tariff and income. A tariff is a monthly price; an individual charge can cover only part of a month. These columns therefore need not contain the same amount. In our demonstration, a full month's customer price is 5 EUR and the platform cost is 1.50 EUR. The difference is 3.50 EUR. Two displayed charges produce 7 EUR of income. This is neither total receipts nor an automatically scheduled payout. ![Two charges of 5 EUR, a platform tariff of 1.50 EUR and total income of 7 EUR](https://hosting-help.livegpstracks.com/storage/projects/45/pages/515/2026/09/3af291f3-728f-4284-99a0-8c6bf6370ee4.webp) *Two full-month charges in the demonstration. Real histories can also contain partial-period charges.* ## Who owes whom **Electronic payments.** Service funded through an integrated electronic payment service generates the hosting operator's share, shown in the electronic-payment payout line. **Bank payments.** When your company receives the money, you owe the platform its service cost. The corresponding settlement table separates payers. Our example shows 1.50 EUR for one of the two charges; the other was funded electronically. These are opposite directions of settlement, not two payouts to you. Final offsetting and the actual transfer are recorded separately. ![The demonstration provider owes the platform 1.50 EUR for bank-funded service](https://hosting-help.livegpstracks.com/storage/projects/45/pages/515/2026/09/07316fcc-4fd8-4b68-8f28-6f3b925b0098.webp) *This amount flows from the hosting operator to the platform. It is not the payout of your electronic-payment share.* ## Currency and final settlement A customer's tariff currency can differ from your hosting settlement currency. Conversion uses the rates loaded into the platform, displayed on the right. This estimate does not lock one historical exchange rate for the whole month, so a later rate update can change the estimate. Check the currency next to each figure. Some older notifications at the top of the page may still have rouble labels. If a label conflicts with your settlement currency, ask support to clarify the calculation instead of treating that label as a conversion instruction. ## Payout details and history Under **Payment details**, choose an agreed payout method, enter your details and save. **Change** saves the details; it does not transfer money. A legacy provider's presence in the selector does not guarantee that payouts through it are available. Confirm the method with support. The **History** link at the top shows recorded payouts and payments from the hosting operator, including settlement entries, in each record's currency. This is not the customers' receipt history. Read the operation type: a payment from you may be displayed as a positive amount without being a payout to you. ## A monthly reconciliation checklist 1. Select the month and allow its final day's charges to reach the daily archive. 2. Review receipts and unpaid invoices. Never mark an invoice paid without receiving the money. 3. Compare spending, your electronic-payment share and the platform costs due on bank-funded service. 4. Check currencies, payout details and previously recorded operations in **History**. 5. For a discrepancy, send support the month, hosting login, currency and specific rows, not just one total. The chapter “Invoices and service documents” covers invoice handling and document-preparation amounts. For an individual account, see [Customers and balances](./users). [Back to contents](./contents)
