AUS Merchants with Non-Global-e Carriers
 |
When an international customer visits your site, Global‑e converts the price of your product to the customer's currency.
At checkout, the customer is presented with the financial details of the transaction:
The price of the product minus discounts
Shipping
Duties and taxes
After verifying the validity of the transaction, Global‑e collects the payment and the order is packed and shipped.
If you are shipping the products directly from your hub then the final title transfer takes place in the origin country, making this a domestic B2B sale.
If you are shipping from a Global-e hub, the final title transfer occurs when the goods arrive at the domestic Global-e hub.
Global‑ then converts the amount of the sale back to your currency and refunds you the amount of the sale, deducting relevant fees and subsidies.
If you are using your own carriers then the shipping fee, plus duties and taxes (if paid for by the carrier), are included in the refund.
For more information, see The Reconciliation Process .
Duties and Taxes Process
Below is an example of the financial process that takes place when a customer purchases from a Merchant in Australia.
Australian Merchant – Global-e Australia
Deduct Australian GST
Product price in AUD = $110 ($100 + 10% GST) - exported from Australia
Shipping charged to customer: $5
Net product sale for Merchant: $100
Net after shipping subsidy: $95
Billing Period and Payment Terms
The reconciliation process typically takes place on a weekly basis and results in a comprehensive report of all Merchant sales for the week.
Based on the report, Global-e pays the Merchant the sum of all products sold internationally during that week plus any relevant shipping, duties, and taxes, minus the agreed service fee.
Global-e's standard payment terms state that 100% of the net proceeds are paid weekly, up to two business days after the weekly reporting day.
Global-e's standard payment terms:
90% of the net proceeds are paid weekly, up to two business days from receipt of the invoice.
10% of net proceeds are paid monthly, up to seven days from the end of the month.
Invoicing
When the Reconciliation Report is generated, Global-e also provides Merchants with two invoices:
A self-billing invoice for sales-less refunds.
An invoice for Global-e’s services, fees, and any shipping subsidies.
To view the invoice go to the Global-e Merchant Portal > Merchants > Reports > Reconciliation Reports.
Global-e’s Invoice for Services and Fee
Merchant’s Invoice for Net Sales
Global‑e Purchase Examples
The following two purchase examples offer a detailed look at the price conversion process.
There are two types of price conversions:
Dynamic pricing - Global-e converts the customer currency on the website for the Merchant.
Fixed pricing - The Merchant gives Global-e the customer's price in the customer's currency and that information is fed into the website.
Australian Merchant – Japanese Customer
Example of dynamic pricing
Australian Merchant – UK Customer
Example of dynamic pricing
Australian Merchant – US Customer
Example of fixed pricing
