Reconciliation Workflow

How Marketplace Fee Reconciliation Works

The process follows the money and the fee logic from source exports through to exceptions, so each review step has a clear purpose and output.

01Confirm Scope

Define marketplace, period, fee categories, payout objective and file boundaries.

02Collect Data

Gather settlement, order, refund, adjustment, rate and bank files required for matching.

03Normalize & Map

Align identifiers, dates, fee labels and settlement fields into a reviewable structure.

04Reconcile Fees

Compare expected or supported fee logic with marketplace deductions and transaction evidence.

05Investigate Exceptions

Classify differences such as rate variance, missing support, timing gaps or refund mismatches.

06Deliver Pack

Provide the agreed reconciliation summary, workpaper, exception register and follow-up notes.

What We Reconcile

Connect Each Marketplace Charge to the Evidence Behind It

Marketplace statements compress many different commercial events into one settlement. The review separates those events so fees and payouts can be traced to the records available for the period.

Commission & referral feesCompare marketplace deductions with available fee schedules, categories and transaction context.
Fulfilment, shipping & service chargesTrace order-level or settlement-level logistics deductions where the source files provide enough detail.
Returns, refunds & adjustmentsMatch reverse movements and adjustments to the corresponding settlement or transaction records.
Marketplace payout to bankTie settlement totals to deposited amounts where payout references, dates and bank data support a reliable match.

Matching Matrix

A typical review uses different evidence for different fee components rather than forcing every line through one generic rule.

Where Differences Hide

Common Marketplace Fee Areas That Need Separate Checks

Different fee types behave differently. Separating them by commercial logic makes exceptions easier to understand than reviewing a single net payout number.

Commission & Referral

Category rates, percentage fees, fixed components and statement deductions may need to be compared at transaction level.

Fulfilment & Logistics

Shipping, fulfilment, handling or logistics charges can depend on order characteristics and marketplace reporting detail.

Refunds & Returns

Reverse movements may hit different settlement cycles, creating timing and linkage issues that need to be traced back to the original order.

Adjustments & Other Deductions

Manual adjustments, service charges or unsupported deductions often require additional evidence before they can be classified as valid or exception items.

Storage & Service Fees

Periodic or non-order-specific charges may need separate rate evidence and may not map neatly to individual sales lines.

Payout Timing

Settlement totals and bank deposits can fall on different dates, making payout identifiers and cycle boundaries important.

Missing References

When transaction IDs, settlement IDs or fee labels are incomplete, the reconciliation needs a documented assumption or follow-up category.

Multi-Marketplace Variance

Each marketplace can use different file structures, fee labels and settlement cycles, so one matching rule rarely fits every channel.

The service identifies and organizes discrepancies based on the evidence supplied. A flagged exception is a review item—not an automatic claim that a marketplace has overcharged.
Before & After

From Net Settlement Confusion to a Reviewable Fee Trail

This comparison describes the working-state change created by the reconciliation service, not guaranteed commercial results.

BeforeOne net payout with many bundled deductions

It is difficult to see which fee components contributed to the settlement difference.

AfterFees separated into defined reconciliation categories

Commission, logistics, refunds, adjustments and other charges are organized for review.

BeforeRate questions investigated ad hoc

Finance teams may search across statements and spreadsheets without a consistent comparison method.

AfterAvailable rate evidence linked to the fee review

Fee expectations and statement deductions are compared using the available supporting information.

BeforeRefunds and adjustments are hard to trace across cycles

Reverse movements may sit in a different settlement period from the original order.

AfterReverse movements mapped to an exception trail

Refund and adjustment items are matched where possible and separately flagged when they need follow-up.

BeforeUnexplained differences are mixed together

A single variance can contain rate, timing, missing-evidence and payout-linkage issues.

AfterExceptions categorized by reason

The output distinguishes what matched from what requires evidence, clarification or further investigation.

BeforeMonth-end evidence is scattered

Reviewers may need to re-create the logic behind a settlement check.

AfterReconciliation workpaper prepared for review

The agreed source data, matching logic and exception notes are brought into one structured pack.

Frequently Asked Questions

Marketplace Fee Reconciliation FAQs

Answers to common scope, pricing, data and delivery questions before you submit an enquiry.

What is marketplace fee reconciliation?
Marketplace fee reconciliation compares marketplace settlement and fee data with available order, rate-card, refund, adjustment and payout information to identify matched charges, unexplained differences and items that need follow-up.
Which marketplace fees can you review?
Depending on the marketplace reports available, the review can cover commissions or referral fees, fulfilment and logistics charges, storage or service fees, payment-related deductions, returns, refunds, adjustments and other marketplace charges shown in settlement data.
Which marketplaces can be included?
The service can be scoped around marketplace exports from platforms such as Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, eBay, Etsy, Flipkart and Meesho, as well as other marketplaces where usable transaction, fee and settlement reports are available.
What files do I need to provide?
Useful inputs include marketplace settlement reports, order or sales exports, fee or rate-card information, returns and refund reports, adjustment files and bank payout data. The exact list depends on the marketplace and the reconciliation objective.
How much does marketplace fee reconciliation cost?
Plans start at $25 USD for a focused Fee Check. Broader settlement reviews and multi-marketplace work are priced according to the number of marketplaces, files, transaction volume and reconciliation depth.
How long does the service take?
The standard delivery window is 5–7 working days after the required files and scope are confirmed. Larger or multi-period reconciliations may require a custom timeline.
Can you reconcile marketplace settlements to bank payouts?
Yes, payout-to-bank matching can be included when settlement identifiers, payout reports and bank data provide enough information to trace the deposits reliably.
Will Rudrriv file claims with the marketplace or guarantee fee recovery?
No recovery outcome is guaranteed. The service is designed to identify and document reconciliation exceptions. Marketplace claim submission, dispute handling or recovery support is only included when separately agreed in the scope.
Can you reconcile multiple currencies, entities or marketplaces?
Yes, these requirements can be reviewed, but multi-currency, multi-entity or multi-marketplace work may need a custom scope because file structures, settlement cycles and accounting treatments can differ.
What will I receive at the end of the reconciliation?
Depending on the selected plan, deliverables can include a reconciliation summary, matched and unmatched transaction workpaper, categorized exception register, payout tie-out and notes showing what needs clarification or follow-up.
Can this be set up as a recurring monthly reconciliation?
Yes. After an initial review, recurring marketplace fee reconciliation can be scoped around a repeatable monthly data pack, agreed matching logic, exception categories and reporting format.
