Amazon Vendor credit recovery

Shortages, price claims, chargebacks, co-op and undue deductions: every month Amazon withholds part of your payments. With Bettershop Analytics we find what can be disputed, open disputes within Amazon’s deadlines and recover what you are owed.

What we recover

Every euro withheld has a cause

We read invoices, payments and deductions line by line and separate what is correct from what can be disputed.

01

Shortage claims

Goods delivered but recorded by Amazon as missing. We dispute them with proof of delivery and ASNs.

02

Price claim

Invoices paid at a price different from the agreed one. We recover the difference.

03

Operational chargebacks

Penalties on ASNs, labels, packaging and appointments. We dispute the undue ones.

04

Co-op and allowances

Co-op agreements applied twice or to the wrong sales, checked against the signed terms.

05

Returns and damages

Returns and damages charged outside the agreements or without documents.

06

Unpaid invoices

Invoices left open or partly paid, reconciled with Amazon’s payments.

Analysis

We find what can be disputed

With Bettershop Analytics we connect invoices, payments, POs and deductions from recent months. This shows, for each code, how much was withheld and how much can still be disputed.

  • Deductions analysed by code, ASIN and PO
  • Comparison with signed terms and agreed prices
  • Proof of delivery and ASN checks

Disputes

Disputes opened within Amazon’s deadlines

Each type of deduction has a dispute window. We prepare the documents, open disputes from Vendor Central and follow them until they close.

  • Disputes on shortages, price claims and chargebacks
  • Supporting documents: POD, ASN, invoices
  • Escalation with Vendor support when needed
  • Deadline tracking so no window is missed
