Finance overview

Zyelra’s ledger and operating balances are the financial source of truth. Payment providers are rails — not a custodial Zyelra wallet.

How money works in Zyelra

Zyelra records financial truth in its chart of accounts, journals, AR/AP, and ledger-backed operating balances. Card and payout providers hold or move funds as rails under a provider-held Model A design.

  • Accounting event (journal, bill, receivable) ≠ automatic provider money movement.
  • Operating balances are control-plane / ledger projections — not Zyelra-held stored value.
  • Agency Connect Stripe / Paystack / PayPal for guest collection is transitional — see guest payment guides.
  • SaaS Billing (subscription) is separate from guest Collect and from Finance disbursements.

Where to work

  • Finance hub and Chart of Accounts, Journals, Ledger, Reconciliation
  • Receivables (AR) and Vendor Bills (AP)
  • Collection payments, Fees & charges, Operating balances
  • Bank destinations, Identity verification, Disbursements
  • Accounting software (QuickBooks) for outbound sync

Finance pages require the matching permission (accounts.*, journals.*, ar.*, ap.*, accounting_integrations.*, or rent/stay_payments for the finance destination gate). If a page is missing, ask an admin — not for a different product module.
