Sales to payout 

High level concept

Payout = sales - refunds - fees - adjustments 

To understand your payouts it is essential to understand the items that compose it : 

     1. High level visibility 

Head to Finance > Sales to payout > Payouts 

From here you can download 2 types of reports: 

1. 1. Complete payouts report
      
      
      Here you can export the report containing all payouts within a certain date range.
      The top part, will give you a combined data of sales, refunds, costs, adjustments and payouts during the period
      The second part will give you the detail for each payout.

      Note: if you are settling in several currencies you will need to download this report for each currency you settle in ( you will see an additional dropdown to pick the currency next to the export button ) 
      
      
      
      
   2. Full details at lower scale 

While the first report will help you with general reporting, you may wonder how those numbers were calculated and what is behind them. For instance you may wonder what are those adjustments you see in your payout report. To drill more on each payout you can extract the detail of what element constitute it. 

This report will tell you which settled transactions, refunds, adjustments where included in a specific payout. The fees for the payout are the combination of the acquiring fees for each settled & refund transaction included + the transaction fees  ( processing fees) for the mentioned date ( in this example 03-01-2023 )  

IMPORTANT: the transaction fees included are NOT the transaction fees of the settled transactions included in this payout, they are all transaction fees that happened in the mentioned date ( see point 3 for more info)
