Settlement Period
The 14-day cycle during which Amazon accumulates your sales revenue, deducts fees, and disburses the remaining balance to your bank account.
What Is a Settlement Period?
Amazon pays sellers every 14 days. During each settlement period, Amazon tallies your sales, refunds, fees, and other charges, then disburses the net amount. This means there's always a delay between making a sale and receiving the cash.
Why It Matters for Cash Flow
The 14-day settlement cycle can create cash flow pressure - especially during growth phases when you need to reorder inventory but haven't received payment for recent sales yet.
