Reconciliation Report

The Reconciliation Report is a structured financial data file provided by Global-e to merchants. It offers comprehensive details of all your sales. The report is generated automatically once a week and the Global-e Finance team is available for any questions regarding the files or data.

The report is delivered once a week to the registered Distribution List (DL).

Starting in 2026, an updated layout of the report was introduced. This documentation covers both the original and the updated layouts.

To receive the updated report layout instead of the original layout, please contact your CSM.

The Reconciliation Report includes the following sections, which you can view by selecting the relevant tab:

Note

  • The Reconciliation Report is presented in your local currency, and all information is aligned with your country’s specific rules and regulations.

  • Orders are included in the reconciliation according to their Received in Hub date, while refunds are included based on their Creation date.

  • Verify that you review the status of your orders on a regular basis, to ensure that all orders dispatched have progressed to Received In Hub. Orders not received in the hub may delay payment of said orders.

  • For guidance regarding the current status of any order, or to progress orders dispatched which have not yet progressed to Received In Hub, contact your CSM.

For more information, see the original layout video.

For more information about the Reconciliation process, see The Reconciliation Process (Finance).
