Allegro, one of the most popular e-commerce platforms in Poland, has been committed to providing merchants with more convenient and efficient management tools. Recently, Allegro launched a new feature – Costs Summary, which aims to help merchants better analyze financial statements and manage store operating costs. This article will fully analyze this new feature so that merchants can make full use of it to improve their store management level.
Steps to quickly check store operating costs:
Merchants can easily check store operating costs in Sales > Finance > Costs Summary. On this page, merchants can see the financial summary on Allegro at a glance, including the difference between sales value and incurred costs, and can also view the balance from 3 months ago, providing an important reference for financial decision-making.
Learn more about cost composition:
The Costs Summary page breaks down store costs into different parts, allowing merchants to clearly understand the cost composition of each aspect.
Basic Settlements: In this section, merchants can view the total sales commission fees incurred and product maintenance fees. This provides merchants with a comprehensive understanding of basic costs and helps optimize product pricing strategies.
Promotion: Merchants can view the costs of promotion activities such as using Features, participating in Deal Zones, and using Allegro Ads. This allows merchants to more accurately evaluate the effectiveness of promotion activities and adjust strategies to increase exposure and sales.
Subscriptions: If merchants use monthly subscription services, they can view the relevant fees here. This helps merchants better understand the impact of subscription services on store costs.
Delivery: This section shows the logistics costs of the order, providing merchants with transparency into logistics costs and helping to choose more cost-effective logistics solutions.
Allegro Protect: Merchants can find the costs associated with the buyer protection program here. This allows merchants to better understand the impact of the protection program on store operations.
One Fulfillment Service: If merchants use the official warehouse service, they can view storage fees and product handling fees here. This helps merchants manage inventory and order fulfillment more scientifically.
E-commerce VAT (Value Added Tax): For merchants outside the EU, you can view VAT related fees here. This provides clearer tax information for cross-border e-commerce.
Conclusion:
Allegro’s Costs Summary function provides merchants with a more comprehensive store operation cost management tool. Through clear cost segmentation and intuitive data presentation, merchants can analyze and adjust their business strategies more finely and improve operational efficiency. Reasonable use of this function will become a powerful assistant for merchants’ refined management.
