Settlement report

Every section of the settlement report, column by column, and a worked reconciliation from processed volume to the amount deposited.

The settlement report is the itemized breakdown behind a single settlement: what you processed in the period, what was deducted, what was withheld, and what lands in your bank account. This page documents every section and column, then walks the arithmetic end to end.

For when settlements happen and how the rolling reserve works, see Settlements. To download a report, use the export in Finances.

What the report contains

The report opens with the settlement's identity — the business, the settlement date, and the period covered — then splits into four sections.

SectionWhat it holds
Settlement SummaryEvery concept that makes up the settlement, and the counts behind them.
TransactionsOne row per processed transaction, with its fees, reserve and net amount.
DisputesOne row per chargeback affecting this settlement.
Rolling ReleasedThe transactions whose reserve was released back to you in this settlement.

Settlement Summary

Amounts that increase your settlement are positive; everything deducted is negative.

ConceptMeaning
Processed AmountTotal value of transactions processed in the period.
Refund AmountRefunds issued in the period.
Dispute AmountValue of transactions charged back.
Void AmountValue of voided (cancelled before capture) transactions.
Deposit Rate FeeThe percentage fee on processed volume.
Fixed Deposit FeeThe per-transaction flat fee on deposits.
Withdrawal Rate FeeThe percentage fee on withdrawals.
Fixed Withdrawal FeeThe per-transaction flat fee on withdrawals.
Refund FeeFee charged per refund processed.
Dispute FeeFee charged per dispute received.
Settlement FeeFee for executing the settlement itself.
APM Network FeeNetwork fees for alternative payment methods.
Dynamic Routing FeeFee applied when dynamic routing is used.
90-Day Released ReserveRolling reserve released back to you this period.
ReserveRolling reserve withheld from this period's volume.
VATTax applied to Tonder's fees.
Total to PayThe amount deposited into your bank account.

Alongside these, the summary carries the counts behind the amounts: Transaction Count, Withdrawals Count, Dispute Count, Refund Count and Void Count.

Transactions

ColumnMeaning
Order IDTonder's identifier for the order.
Processor IDThe processor's reference for the transaction.
Date / Local DateWhen the transaction occurred, in serial and ISO form.
TypeThe row's nature — Transaction for a processed payment.
Transaction AmountThe gross amount charged.
Transaction CurrencyISO currency code of the transaction.
Tonder Rate AmountThe percentage fee applied to this transaction.
Tonder Fixed Fee AmountThe flat fee applied to this transaction.
Reserve AmountRolling reserve withheld from this transaction.
VATTax on the fees for this transaction.
Net AmountWhat remains after fees, reserve and VAT.
Payment MethodThe card brand or method used.
Type of methodDebit card, credit card, or the APM type.
Order Id (Metadata)Your own reference, echoed back for reconciliation.

Order Id (Metadata) is how you match a settlement row to your own order. Send it as metadata.external_id — see Correlation keys.

Disputes

ColumnMeaning
Order IDTonder's identifier for the disputed order.
Processor IDThe processor's reference for the dispute.
Date / Local DateWhen the dispute was registered.
TypeDispute.
Transaction AmountThe disputed amount, deducted from the settlement.
Transaction CurrencyISO currency code.
Fixed Fee AmountThe per-dispute fee.
VATTax on the dispute fee.
Net AmountTotal deducted for this dispute — amount plus fee plus VAT.
StatusWhere the dispute stands, for example Needs Response.
Card BrandThe network the dispute came through.
Type of methodDebit or credit card.
Transaction Id (Metadata) / Order Id (Metadata)Your own references.

A dispute hits your settlement as soon as it's received — the amount and the fee are both deducted before the case is resolved. If you win it, the amount is returned on a later settlement. Respond inside the window: see Handling Disputes.

Rolling Released

The reserve being returned this period, itemized by the original transaction it was withheld from.

ColumnMeaning
Order IDThe original order the reserve was withheld from.
Processor IDThe processor's reference for that transaction.
Date / Local DateWhen the original transaction occurred — roughly 90 days before this settlement.
TypeRolling Released.
Transaction AmountThe original transaction's gross amount.
Released Reserve AmountThe reserve being returned for it.
Transaction CurrencyISO currency code.

The dates on this sheet are the clearest way to see the 90-day hold: the rows belong to a period about three months before the settlement you're reading.

How a settlement is calculated

Working from gross to deposited:

  1. Start with Processed Amount.
  2. Subtract what reverses volume — refunds, disputes and voids.
  3. Subtract Tonder's fees — rate and fixed fees on deposits and withdrawals, plus per-event fees for refunds, disputes, settlement, APM network and dynamic routing.
  4. Add the released reserve returning from ~90 days ago.
  5. Subtract the reserve withheld from this period.
  6. Subtract VAT on the fees.

The result is Total to Pay.

Worked example

The figures below are illustrative. The rates shown are one merchant's contracted terms, not Tonder's standard pricing — yours are defined in your commercial agreement. The arithmetic is what matters here, not the numbers.

A batch settlement covering Monday 8 → Wednesday 10 September, deposited Friday 12 September:

ConceptAmount (MXN)
Processed Amount2,230,113.00
Dispute Amount−9,189.00
Deposit Rate Fee−56,783.06
Fixed Deposit Fee−37,980.00
Dispute Fee−3,910.00
Settlement Fee−500.00
90-Day Released Reserve+56,444.70
Reserve−111,505.65
VAT−15,867.69
Total to Pay2,050,822.30

Two checks you can run on your own report:

  • VAT is 16% of Tonder's fees — the Mexican IVA rate. Here the fees total 99,173.06, and 99,173.06 × 0.16 = 15,867.69.
  • Dispute Fee divided by the per-dispute fee equals Dispute Count. Here 3,910 ÷ 170 = 23 disputes.

A single transaction

The same logic applies per row on the Transactions sheet. For an 87.00 MXN charge:

StepAmount (MXN)
Transaction Amount87.00
Tonder Rate Amount−2.175
Tonder Fixed Fee Amount−3.00
Reserve Amount−4.35
VAT−0.828
Net Amount76.647

VAT is charged on the fees only — (2.175 + 3.00) × 0.16 = 0.828 — not on the reserve, because the reserve is not a fee. It comes back to you 90 days later.
