# Marketplace Finance

[https://xedant.com/agents/analytics/docs/templates/marketplace-finance.md](https://xedant.com/agents/analytics/docs/templates/marketplace-finance.md)

On a marketplace, a seller’s money looks simple: you set a price, the customer pays. But between your price and your profit stands the platform — commission, logistics, storage, returns, and ads. These seven templates count the money after all deductions and answer seven seller questions — from “how much does one sold unit bring in” to “what to check this week.” There are 7 templates here.

Every template is a live walkthrough on one seller’s demo data: open it in the Templates section of Analytics Agent and press “Use this template” to run it on your own data.

### Unit Economics per SKU

**Shows:** for every product, how the platform’s deductions come off the price one by one, how much is left from one sold unit, and what share of the price that is; plus a deductions waterfall for the biggest products and the monthly total lost by products with a “stop” verdict.

**You get:** a loss-making product stops quietly eating the others’ money — the price at which it breaks even is named right away.

### Break-Even in Units and Days

**Shows:** how many units per month you need to sell for the month to stop losing money, and on which day of the month that happens at the current pace; next to it, the fixed costs those units carry and two sliders — your price and your fixed costs: you immediately see which shift (±20%) breaks the month.

**You get:** instead of a vague “seems like we’re doing fine,” a concrete day of the month and a unit count to reach.

### True Logistics per Bought-Out Unit

**Shows:** the tariff in the price list is the cost per parcel, and some parcels come back unopened. The template shows the true logistics cost per bought-out unit and names the products that turn loss-making purely from try-ons and returns.

**You get:** you can see what exactly eats the profit in clothing and footwear, and where to start — the size chart, the photos, or the price.

### Ad Cost Share (DRR) by SKU

**Shows:** what share of each product’s revenue ads take — ad cost share per product against accepted norms and against the product’s own profit, with verdicts of “turn off,” “reduce,” “scale up,” “leave alone”.

**You get:** ads on a thin-margin product stop quietly running at a loss — you see how much money they burn per month.

### SKU Scorecard (norms traffic light)

**Shows:** one screen where each product’s profit, ad share, returns, profit per unit, and days to break-even sit side by side — every metric checked against norms, and the product as a whole gets the color of its worst one.

**You get:** no need to read five reports to find the sick product — it is named, and so is what to do about it.

### Procurement ROI

**Shows:** a list of purchase options ranked by return on the money invested and by payback speed, plus a “what to order first” basket for a set budget.

**You get:** the next purchase goes where the money comes back faster, not where the markup is simply higher.

### Seller Finance Calendar

**Shows:** a weekly review of what moved — revenue, buyout, returns, ad share, profit per unit; a monthly recalculation of unit economics and a quarterly checkpoint on fixed costs and break-even — one rhythm document.

**You get:** instead of fire drills, a schedule: the seller knows what to check every week and what once a quarter.
