D2C accounting periods
To better understand accounting periods, we have outlined some key points below
- Online sales are processed monthly and include orders shipped up to 2 months earlier
- This means your balance may show less than your total sales
- For example, January orders are processed in mid-February, and your balance updates in early March.
- We can’t process D2C revenue faster because we only get fulfilment statements about 2 weeks after each month ends
- Remember: the order date is not the same as the ship date
- All of the above also applies to pre-order campaigns
