Settlement guides for sellers
Every guide follows the same chain (channel → collect → repatriate → convert) and carries a "checked" date. We review the core pages quarterly because payout policies and FX rates don't sit still. Start with the pillar, then go deep on your market.
What cross-border settlement actually costs
The five layers of fees between a sale abroad and money in your bank (channel, payout, FX margin, intermediary and the hidden spread), taken apart with worked examples for all three markets.
How every sales channel pays out
You don't choose how you get paid, your channel does. Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Shopify, POD and dropshipping payouts, schedules and reserves, taken apart.
