By reviewing the settlement report, you can understand your account activity. You can open the settlement report in a text editor, or you can use a spreadsheet program, such as Microsoft Excel, to review and manage the information.

When a settlement occurs:

• Amazon Pay calculates your account balance. Fees, A-to-z Guarantee claims, chargebacks, customer refunds, and Reserve can affect your balance.
• If your account balance is positive, if you have entered valid information in Seller Central for your U.S. bank checking account, and if you have a valid credit card associated with your account, Amazon Pay will initiate a transfer to your bank account. (See Adding and managing a bank account for information about entering valid bank account information in Seller Central.) It usually takes 3 to 5 business days from the time that we settle your account and initiate an ACH transfer before the funds arrive in your account.
• If your account balance is negative, we will charge the amount of the negative balance to your credit card.
• Amazon Pay will provide settlement report data if there was activity on your account since the previous settlement cycle.

You can find your settlement reports using the Reports menu in Seller Central. To download a copy of your latest settlement report, follow the steps listed below.

Download your settlement report

1. Sign in to your Amazon Pay account on Seller Central.

Note: We recommend that you save copies of your reports for your own records.

Reading a settlement report

Settlement reports are comma separated text files. These can be difficult to read in a text editor, such as Notepad or Text Edit, but you can easily open them in most spreadsheet applications or database software.

The easiest way to read a settlement report is to save it to your computer and then open the document in your favorite spreadsheet or database application. With a spreadsheet program, you can easily summarize, manipulate, or reformat the data the way that you want.

Note:

• Some web browsers automatically open settlement reports with your computer's default text editor. If this happens, use the File menu to save a copy of the report to your computer before opening it in another application.
• On a Windows PC, you can right-click the link for the settlement report to save the file to your computer.

Your settlement report contains a separate line for every transaction.
