Why your ledger should be double-entry, even if you never open it

A transaction list answers one question: what happened. A double-entry ledger answers a second one: where is the money now. Every movement is recorded twice, once as it leaves an account and once as it arrives, so the books always balance and any gap has an address.

That matters on the boring days too. When a payout is delayed, a refund is disputed or an acquirer file arrives with a line you did not expect, a list gives you a search box. A ledger gives you the account the money is sitting in, with the entries that put it there.

Ledgerline writes the ledger for you. Every accepted payment, split, fee, refund and payout lands as balanced entries, and the reconciliation job checks those entries against the acquirer's files every night. You can export it, query it, or never look at it. It is there when you need it.

The limit, stated plainly: the ledger is ours, not your accounting system. It feeds one; it does not replace one. Most customers export monthly and post a summary journal.
