Financial Reconciliation – Glossary
• Item Revenue is the current sum of the selling
price of the items shipped in the current payment
cycle. The final figure is visible every Wednesday
• Fee is the sum of commission and payment fee
earned by Lazada as per the agreed contract
• Fee on Refund is the current sum of the
commission Lazada had deducted for the orders
that have been returned. This sum is now added
back to your sub-total (i.e., Lazada does not earn
commission on returned orders)
• Guarantee Deposit is the deposit we keep from
your first revenue. This is consistent for every
business partner
• Opening Balance is the amount carried forward
from the previous statement
• Other Revenue is not a regular line item. It is used
for ad-hoc adjustments such as reimbursement of
shipping fee or credit in the unlikely case of
mistakes in the previous payment cycle
• Refund is the current sum of the selling price of
the items that were returned by customers up to
the cut-off date that will be deducted from your
payout
• Closing Balance reflects the Gross Payout to you.
The Deposit is deducted from this Gross Payout to
arrive at the net payout
• Payout indicates amount that will be credited to
your bank account
Key Point: you can check
your transactions on
“Reports”/”Transaction
