Reperform the Etsy packet from source-defined lines
The invented Etsy side uses USD 65 comparable customer revenue, a 6.5% transaction assumption on an explicit base, a USD 0.20 listing allocation, and editable Etsy Payments assumptions. Those example values illustrate mechanics; the reviewer must replace them with current country, listing, payment, advertising, conversion, and regulatory evidence that actually applies.
Keep the one-time or periodic source charge separate from the per-retained-order allocation. Preserve the original invoice or Payment account aggregate, denominator, source review date, and accepted version so the USD 27.88 contribution can be reproduced or rejected.
Reperform the Shopify packet with its payment path
The invented Shopify side uses editable Shopify Payments cost and allocated plan or app cost. Current Shopify guidance distinguishes Shopify Payments rates from third-party provider charges and plan-dependent transaction fees, so the payment path must be named before the fee is entered.
Recalculate contribution after changing only the applicable payment path or fixed-cost denominator. Do not infer that Shopify is cheaper from the example difference; demand, conversion, support burden, apps, tax, and other excluded economics remain separate decisions.
