Why might year-to-date profitability differ after Amazon's reporting change?

Amazon changed many stores from settled reporting to deferred reporting during 2026. The exact transition date can vary by store. A year-to-date total may therefore contain settled activity before the cutover and deferred activity after it.

Selecting only Settled or only Deferred for the full year does not recreate a blended Amazon total. The variance is usually concentrated around the transition period rather than spread evenly across the year.

First compare complete months before and after the transition. If your selected range crosses the change, contact MerchantSpring Support with the store and source statement so the period can be reviewed on a like-for-like basis.

Important: Avoid treating a YTD variance as a missing-data issue until the reporting cutover has been considered.
