Have you ever come across the term "Additional Expected Commission" in your finance dashboard and wondered what it meant? Let's break it down to clear any confusion.
What is "Additional Expected Commission"?
"Additional Expected Commission" is a line item that appears in the Detailed Breakdown section of our finance dashboard. This figure represents an estimate of the commission you are likely to pay based on your sales on the Walmart Marketplace.
Why does it appear as an estimation?
Walmart provides reconciliation reports to sellers approximately every couple of weeks. These reports detail the actual commission owed based on your sales during that period. However, since these reports aren't instantly available, our software calculates an estimated commission amount in the interim.
How is the estimation calculated?
The estimation is typically based on a standard commission rate, which is often around 15% of your sales revenue. However, it's important to note that the commission rate can vary depending on factors such as the product category. Therefore, the estimation may fluctuate slightly based on these variables.
Is the estimation final?
No, the estimation provided under "Additional Expected Commission" is not a formal number, nor is it a charge. It serves as an approximation until the reconciliation report from Walmart is available and all necessary information is gathered. Once the reconciliation report is received, the actual commission owed will be determined accurately.
In conclusion, "Additional Expected Commission" is simply an estimate generated by our software to give you an indication of the commission you may eventually owe based on your sales on the Walmart Marketplace. It's a helpful tool to provide insight into your financial obligations, but it's essential to remember that it's not a final figure until reconciled with Walmart's official reports.
