Report samples according to the revenue share model

Revenue share model Description Sample report
Net TPV model PayPal shares a portion of Total Payments Volume (TPV) with the partner.

Sample Net TPV model 
Net Revenue model PayPal shares a portion of the net revenue earned with the partner after deducting costs (for example, interchange, network fees) and losses (for example, chargebacks, negative balances).

Sample Net Revenue model 
Buy-Sell model PayPal collects the transaction fee (sell rate) from the merchant and retains the platform fee (buy rate). For Interchange plus plus (IC++) use cases, processing costs (interchange, assessment) are also passed on to the partner.

Sample Buy-Sell model 

File format specifications

  • Format: Comma-separated values (.csv).
  • Encoding: UTF-8 (8-bit UCS/Unicode Transformation Format).
  • Currency representation: Major currency units (For example, dollars for USD, yen for JPY).
  • Negative amounts: Indicated with a minus sign (For example, -1000.00 for refunds).
  • File size limit: Maximum 1 million records per file. Larger reports are split across multiple files.

File naming convention

Reports follow this standardised naming pattern:

${encryptedSubscriptionId}-{​​NodeIdentifier}​​-{​​subfamily}​​-{templateName}​​-{​​dateCadence}​​-{​​fileNumber}​​-{​​totalFile}​​-{​​genDateTime}​​.{extension}

Reconciliation guide

Reconciliation use case How to reconcile
Trace revenue share payout in bank statement or PayPal account Use the PAYOUT_REFERENCE_ID column in the report summary section to match the payout in your bank or PayPal account.

Reconcile payouts and contributing transactions

 For every PAYOUT_REFERENCE_ID, total payout amount in report summary section under column PAYOUT_AMOUNT in PAYOUT_CURRENCY == Sum of amounts in PAYOUT_CURRENCY in REVSHARE_PAYOUT column for all transactions in the report details section.

Revenue share per transaction (by model)

Revenue is shared with partners primarily through these 3 models:

  • Net TPV model: In this model, PayPal shares a portion of Total Payments Volume (TPV) with the partner.
    • Revenue share = TPV x Margin.

  • Net Revenue model: In this model, PayPal shares a portion of the net revenue earned with the partner after deducting costs and losses. Costs include interchange and network fees, while losses may arise from chargeback protection, negative merchant balances, and similar scenarios.
    • Revenue share = (Transaction fee - Processing cost - Processing losses) × Margin.

  • Buy-Sell model: In this model, PayPal collects the transaction fee (sell rate) from the merchant and retains the platform fee (buy rate). For IC++ use-cases, the processing costs (interchange, assessment) are also passed on to the partner.
    • Revenue share = Transaction fee - Platform fee - Processing costs, if applicable.
