Decision tool · Return settlement cost

Return rate is the wrong report. Settlement window is the real cost.

Return rate tells you how much revenue you lose. It does not tell you how much cash is sitting frozen right now, waiting for the platform's settlement window to release it. This tool shows both, side by side.
