How Amazon Seller Central fees work
Settlements bundle sales, refunds, referral fees, FBA fees and other charges into one deposit.
Posting it in Xero
Xero's Stripe feed only records fees automatically for invoices paid through Xero. For everything else you post the payout journal yourself; PayoutParse produces it in Xero's manual journal CSV format (Accounting > Manual journals > Import). The journal PayoutParse produces uses Sales, Fees and a bank clearing line per payout; change the account codes in the file to match your chart of accounts before importing.
The check
For each payout, gross less fees less refunds less chargebacks plus adjustments must equal the printed net. If it doesn't, the file is marked needs review and is not charged.
