An adjustment is when your payment is either increased or decreased because the amount paid for previous sales period(s) was too low or too high. This can happen for a variety of reasons:
- Refunds for past sales were issued, so you paid too much in the past and your next payment was lowered to account for lower total sales
- Some sales were added late to the payment calculation, so you paid too little in the past and your next payment was increased to account for the extra sales
- For payments deducted from sales only: There wasn’t enough money left to cover your merchant advance payment after other payments were made, so your payment was increased to make up the shortfall
