Multi-Gateway Bank Reconciliation is an automated financial audit system tailored for banquet halls, wedding venues, and high-volume event organizers. It ingests settlement statements (CSV/Excel) from multiple merchant acquiring providers (PulPal, Kapital Bank, Epoint, Apple Pay), mathematically reconciles transactions against database bookings using RRN and UUID identifiers, separates card fees, and computes verified Net Profit for executive reporting.
Eliminating Financial Discrepancies in High-Volume Event Venues
Banquet palaces and concert venues process substantial transaction flows spanning ticket pre-sales, VIP table deposits, catering installments, and digital greetings. These funds flow across varied payment gateways with distinct fee structures (2.5% to 4.0%). Manual bookkeeping leads to recurring vulnerabilities:
- Settlement Variance: Gross ticketing receipts in the platform never match net bank deposits due to merchant interchange deductions, creating chronic accounting confusion.
- Unfiltered Failed & Test Transactions: Payment drops, expired 3D Secure sessions, or simulation orders improperly recorded as real revenue inflate books and risk tax audits.
- Disputed Organizer Payouts: Settling net proceeds with independent wedding couples or event producers without auditable deduction proofs fuels vendor disputes.
