Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it. **Card class:** [Non-Hero](/nerve-centre/overview#card-classes-explained) • **Category:** [Marketplace](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type) ## At a glance > **Net Revenue (after fees)** is what you keep once Mercari's selling fee and payment processing are stripped out. It is the honest top line for a reseller, the figure before shipping and what the item cost you. | | | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **What it counts** | Gross sales over the window minus Mercari's 10% selling fee and the 2.9% + \$0.50 payment processing charge per order. | | **Sample type** | Backend API data from Mercari, refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Why it matters** | Gross revenue flatters resale margins because Mercari's cut is meaningful. Net revenue is the number that actually funds restocking and profit, so it is the right figure to track period over period. | | **Reading the value** | A currency total for the window, compared to the prior period. Higher is better; watch the percentage move against the previous period rather than the raw figure alone. | | **Currency** | currency | | **Time window** | `30D vsP` | | **Alert trigger** | `drop >10% vsP` | | **Sentiment key** | `mer_net_revenue` | | **Roles** | owner, finance | ## Calculation Vortex IQ takes gross sales recorded over the trailing 30 days and subtracts Mercari's standard 10% selling fee plus the per-order payment processing charge of 2.9% plus \$0.50. The result is summed across all completed orders in the window and compared against the equivalent prior 30-day period to produce the versus-previous movement. Shipping costs and your cost of goods are not deducted here, since those sit outside Mercari's reported fees; this card isolates revenue net of marketplace charges only. ## Worked example *A representative reading of **Net Revenue (after fees)** for a typical Mercari reseller.* Picture a reseller who grossed about $4,000 over 30 days across 80 orders. Mercari's 10% selling fee takes roughly $400, and payment processing at 2.9% plus $0.50 per order takes about $116 plus $40, leaving net revenue near $3,444. If last period netted $3,900, that is a drop of more than 11 percent, which trips the `drop >10% vsP` alert. The action is to find what changed: fewer orders, lower average order value, or a shift toward smaller items where the flat $0.50 bites harder. Cross-reference `mer_total_revenue` to separate volume from fees, `mer_fee_total` to see the fee load, and `mer_aov` to check pricing. Vortex Mind traces the upstream cause, and Ask Viq answers plain-English questions like "why did my net revenue fall versus last month?" ## Sibling cards merchants should reference together | Card | Why merchants reach for it | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------------------- | | [`mer_total_revenue`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/mercari/total-revenue) | Separates gross sales movement from fee impact. | | [`mer_fee_total`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/mercari/marketplace-fees-paid) | Shows the absolute fee load taken out of gross. | | [`mer_fees_pct`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/mercari/fees-as-of-revenue) | Expresses fees as a share of revenue for margin context. | | [`mer_aov`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/mercari/average-order-value) | Flags whether smaller orders are raising the effective fee rate. | | [`mer_total_transactions`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/mercari/total-transactions) | Confirms whether the move is volume-driven. | ## Reconciling against Mercari **Where to look in Mercari's own dashboard:** In the Mercari seller app, your sales and balance history list each order with its selling fee and processing fee broken out, and your payout balance reflects the net. Summing those net amounts over the period should land close to this card. **Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:** | Reason | Direction | What to do | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------ | | **Period boundary.** Mercari may book a sale and its fees on slightly different dates than the order date used here. | Variable | Match the period range. | | **Time zone.** Sale timestamps may be recorded in a different time zone than your reporting view. | Marginal | Confirm time zone match. | | **Filter scope.** This card deducts only selling and processing fees, not shipping or any promotional discounts. | Variable | Match filter settings. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** If you reconcile against an external bookkeeping tool, confirm it applies the same 10% plus 2.9% plus \$0.50 fee structure before comparing.

This card sums it for you, which can differ from a manual tally. **Q: Does this include shipping costs or my cost of goods?** No. It deducts only Mercari's selling and payment processing fees. Shipping and cost of goods sit outside Mercari's reported charges, so they are not subtracted here. **Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?** Yes, sensitivity thresholds are configurable per profile in the Sensitivity tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *Net Revenue (after fees)* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across Mercari and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
