Comparison
ClearPayout vs Link My Books: when you need Walmart & eBay too
Both tools help sellers get marketplace money into the books. ClearPayout focuses on multichannel payout matching (Amazon, Walmart, eBay) to QuickBooks Online with an explicit clearing → bank deposit workflow.
Quick verdict
Who each tool fits
Best if you already run Link My Books for Amazon
Link My Books is a known Amazon–accounting bridge. If your stack is Amazon-only and working, there is no need to switch for switching’s sake.
Best when Walmart and eBay must clear too
ClearPayout is built so Walmart recon and eBay managed payments get the same one-JE-per-payout treatment as Amazon.
Best for a bank-deposit match view
If your bookkeeper’s weekly pain is “deposit arrived, clearing is not zero,” ClearPayout’s UI centers that match.
