Transaction fees = Σ order payment fees + other gateway fees (payout, FX, account)

How it is calculated

  • Marketplace channels such as TikTok Shop report their fees at settlement; those are used as is.

Reading it

  • Format: Amount in your reporting currency.
  • Lower is better (an increase is shown in red).
