Understand your invoice
Each invoice includes a total, invoice breakdown, and list of relevant orders (if applicable). These may look a little different depending on your integration and the services that you use.
Invoice total
The total for the invoice will always display in USD. If you are viewing your current month, this will be a running total of the amount your upcoming invoice includes so far. USPS label costs will not be included in the running total, as they are invoiced separately.
Invoice breakdown
Your invoice includes a breakdown of all the charges you are being asked to pay. Only the charges that apply to your account will appear.
Standard charges
Charge | Cycle | Explanation |
---|---|---|
Zonos platform fee | Yearly, monthly installments are available | Access to Dashboard requires a platform fee. This is only charged once per year no matter how many Zonos services you use. Monthly installments are available to all integrations except for Shopify. |
Duties and taxes | Weekly | Duties and taxes that were paid in the checkout. Zonos collects these from you so that we can remit them on your behalf. |
Zonos Fees | Weekly | This is the cost of Zonos' guaranteed landed cost. It is made up of a $2 per shipment Shipment fee and a landed cost fee of 10% of the duties, taxes, and fees. |
Setup fee | One-time | Most integrations require a one-time setup fee to ensure Zonos is set up properly. Shopify does not require a setup fee. |
Additional charges
Charge | Cycle | Explanation |
---|---|---|
Certification to print labels outside of Dashboard | Yearly | Retailers who want to print guaranteed labels outside of Dashboard must complete certification with Zonos. Zonos will help you set up your systems properly and provide ongoing support to maintain certification. |
USPS labels | Weekly | Labels printed from Dashboard use Zonos' USPS account. The USPS labels charge is the cost of the USPS labels that you printed via Dashboard. Zonos does not charge for the label generation service; the cost is the direct cost of the shipping labels themselves. |
Foreign tax registration | Variable | Registration is generally included with our guaranteed landed cost. For those not using our guarantee, you may see additional registration costs here as an add-on service. |
Orders
Your invoice includes a list of relevant orders. When you use our Duty and Tax app, your ecommerce platform processes your customer's order, which includes the landed cost quote provided by Zonos. The ecommerce platform then pays you the funds collected, including the landed cost quote. However, Zonos still needs to pay the duties and taxes on your behalf. To do this, Zonos invoices you for the landed cost quote so we can pay the duties and taxes for you. The landed cost quote also includes your Zonos fees. You will see these fees broken out from the duties, taxes, and carrier fees per order:
- Zonos order ID
- Order number—ecommerce platform order ID
- Duties, taxes, and fees—the amount that your shopper paid for duties, taxes, and fees, including Zonos' fees.
