How it runs, in your product’s code
At month end, your product hands a computer September’s orders as a spreadsheet. Cobblestone sends a sign-in code to the seller’s phone, so the row turns to “Needs you: code” and your customer enters it on the screen below. The computer downloads the payouts-by-order report and lines each payout up against its orders. Fees and refunds your records don’t show get lines of their own.
