Feature Overview
This feature presents your store's income and expenses over a specified period. It calculates actual gross profit and gross margin based on your set product costs. In this feature, order sales are calculated by settlement time, which is consistent with the calculation method of payment report of Amazon Seller Central. Differed from the order placement time, settlement time refers to the fee generation time shown in the transaction overview of Amazon Seller central payment report, representing when Amazon records the fee occurrence, directly affecting your account period, payments, and related revenue and fee statistics on Amazon.
Here are some key points about our statistical method:
- Sales are calculated based on settlement time.
- Refunds are deducted from the sales amount on the refund date. For example, if a customer orders on January 1 and refunds on February 1, the refund amount is deducted from February 1 sales.
- We don't estimate or include fees for pending orders until Amazon generates the relevant fee data when the order status changes.
- Product-level fees (parent ASIN, child ASIN, SKU) only include order, refund, and storage fees, excluding Amazon store-level fees.
Note: Amazon's gross profit calculation differs from actual gross profit calculation
Amazon Gross Profit = Amazon Revenue - Amazon Fees
Actual Gross Profit = Amazon Revenue - Amazon Fees - Non-Amazon Expenses (including product sourcing costs, shipping cost to Amazon warehouse, and custom costs)
Due to potentially long periods between order placement and settlement on Amazon, you can use the Sales Analysis feature if you want to view real-time store/product profit based on order placement time and estimated pending order data.
