Online businesses rarely stay on one revenue source.

An app developer may earn from App Store and Google Play. A creator may add sponsorships and platform payouts. A SaaS company may combine mobile subscriptions with direct web payments.

The result is not just more revenue. It is more financial systems.

## The dashboard problem

Every platform has its own definition of sales, earnings, balance and payout.

Adding the headline number from each dashboard can create a total that mixes estimated revenue, finalized revenue and cash.

## Create a common revenue model

For every source, capture a consistent minimum set:

- source
- period
- revenue state
- gross amount
- fees
- refunds
- taxes or adjustments
- net amount
- currency
- payout status

## Keep platform-specific detail

Common fields are useful for dashboards, but the source record should remain available.

That gives you both comparability and traceability.

## Why this matters before tax season

Tax rules differ by country, entity type and revenue source. But every accountant starts with the same basic need: reliable underlying data.

Organizing that data throughout the year is cheaper than reconstructing it at filing time.

## Faturatik

Faturatik's longer-term direction is simple:

**How much did you make online this month?**

Bring internet revenue into one structured workspace, understand where the money came from and prepare the records needed for accounting review.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the best way to track multiple online income streams?

Normalize common fields across sources while preserving the original platform reports and distinguishing estimated, finalized and paid revenue.

### Should I track gross or net online income?

Ideally both, together with fees, refunds, taxes or adjustments that explain the difference.

### Is Faturatik only for app developers?

App Store and Google Play are the initial focus, but the underlying product direction is multi-source internet revenue tracking.
