Map Etsy, Shopify, and TikTok evidence separately

For Etsy, record the official fee category plus the applicable Payment account or country evidence. For Shopify, record plan, Shopify Payments or third-party provider path, billing period, subscription and app invoices, and transaction export. For TikTok Shop, record category fee, affiliate commission, Shop Ads cost, Gross Revenue definition, Finance credit, and settlement maturity.

Each source row needs owner, URL or report, access date, data-through date, market, category, plan, campaign scope, grain, privacy class, accepted version, and refresh trigger. Public pages use only invented or approved aggregates.

Distinguish official definitions from seller-specific rates

Official documentation establishes fee categories, bases, and general rules, but the applicable rate can depend on country, plan, category, payment provider, contract, promotion, seller eligibility, or account state. An official page does not prove that one seller's invoice uses a particular example rate.

Attach both layers: the current definition source and the seller-specific aggregate evidence. If they conflict, preserve both, open an exception, and block the comparison until the owner resolves the discrepancy.
