    Marketplaces deduct many fees and adjustments before paying you. Errors happen, and unchecked mistakes add up.

    What to reconcile

    • Every delivered order was paid.
    • Fees match the rate card.
    • Returns were deducted correctly, and claims credited.
    • Shipping charges match weights.
    • TCS and TDS deductions are correct.

    Monthly process

    1. Download order and settlement reports from each marketplace.
    2. Match orders to payments by order ID.
    3. Calculate expected fees with our commission calculator.
    4. List differences.
    5. Raise tickets with evidence.

    Weight disputes

    Overcharged shipping due to wrong weights is common. Keep photos of packed items on a scale.

    Taxes

    Track GST on fees and TCS for credits with your CA. Check figures with our GST calculator.

    Tools

    For high volumes, reconciliation software or accounting integrations save time.
