Fee and net per transaction

What is read

• Transactions with gross amount, fee and net per currency
• Event type, status and subject for each record
• Disputes with amount, reason, stage and outcome
• Buyer transaction ids used to link a dispute to an order

Where it lands

• Fee and net feed the payment fee-rate check against the 30-day baseline
• Nets are summed per currency and compared with paid-order totals
• When PayPal omits the net amount, it is derived as gross minus fee
• Dispute outcomes and refunded amounts attach to the affected order

Rules fed by PayPal

The same gateway checks as other payment providers, run per gateway and per currency.

Payment fee rate above baseline

Gateway effective fee rate rises above the 30-day volume-weighted baseline

Order-vs-gateway reconciliation gap

Shopify paid-order net amounts diverge from gateway transaction nets

Dispute & chargeback spike

Gateway disputes spike within a 7-day sliding window

Known limits

• The reporting window covers at most 31 days per call; longer ranges are split automatically
• The disputes API has no end-time filter, so its window follows update time
• PayPal payout timing is not collected, so arrival dates come from store transaction records
• Sandbox and live credentials are separate connections
