Marketplace Seller Payouts
Marketplace seller payout software calculates each seller’s expected obligation from source transactions, refund and adjustment treatment, fee rules, and reserve policies. A governed workflow preserves the inputs, applicable rules, reviewed result, seller statement, and export evidence before a separate payout rail or bank process moves money.
Worked calculation
A seller payout starts with eligible transaction revenue. Refunds and approved adjustments change the fee base, the platform fee reduces the seller’s amount, and any reserve temporarily holds part of the post-fee balance.
For example, $10,000 in gross sales with $400 in refunds, a 12% platform fee, and a 2% post-fee reserve results in an $8,279.04 seller payable.
This example uses $0 in manual adjustments.
Product boundary
Allocora calculates expected seller obligations, preserves reviewed results, generates statements, and prepares structured exports. It does not onboard sellers, collect bank credentials, perform KYC or AML checks, or execute transfers.
Review evidence
Keep the source transaction and seller identifier for gross sales, the original-order reference for each refund, the reason and approval for manual adjustments, the applied fee and reserve policy, the reviewed statement total, and the downstream payout confirmation. These records explain how the expected obligation was calculated and what happened after export.
The Problem
Marketplace teams juggle variable fees, refund adjustments, and seller-specific terms across spreadsheets. One broken formula means overpayments, underpayments, or seller churn - and no audit trail to explain what went wrong.
Fee structures vary by seller tier, product type, or region
Refund adjustments are tracked manually across tabs
Reconciliation before payout takes hours of cross-referencing
Sellers dispute payouts with no transparent calculation trail
No single source of truth for what was calculated each period
Export formats change every month depending on who builds them
