Shopee, Lazada & TikTok Shop Seller Fees: How to Record Each One

Where Shopee, Lazada and TikTok Shop commission, transaction fees, vouchers, shipping and refunds go in your books, with a worked RM month and journal entries.

TL;DR (Key Takeaways)

Your marketplace payout is not your sales. Record sales at the price your buyer paid for your goods, record each platform deduction as its own expense, and treat the payout as money moving from your marketplace balance to your bank.
Seller-funded vouchers and discounts reduce your sales. Platform-funded vouchers do not touch your books, because the platform still pays you as if the buyer paid your price.
