Channel Invoice Feature

What is a channel customer?

As a seller, you have 2 customers:

• Customers (consumers) – They buy your products from your integrated channels (marketplaces). These would include any wholesale customers.
• Integrated channels – They sell your products to those consumers. In Sellercloud, each of these channels is known as a channel customer.

In most cases, your channel customer(s) will generate a recurring invoice that summarises all shipped orders within a specified time period (weekly, bi-weekly, etc.), or by settlement report (e.g., Amazon). This invoice will typically include all amounts owed to you for the sales of these orders, minus any channel fees.

To ensure that their information is accurate, Sellercloud’s Channel Invoice feature lets you create a channel invoice. This invoice lets you easily reconcile their invoice against your invoice’s order and payment information from Sellercloud.

You can quickly cross-reference each order in Sellercloud directly from the channel invoice to locate and resolve any discrepancies.

Regardless of how you obtain payment, after you receive and reconcile the payment, this same feature lets you record that payment and apply payment(s) to that invoice.
