Settlement

Settlement is the transfer of collected cash-on-delivery money from the fulfilment partner to the seller, after deducting agreed fees. It is the point at which delivered orders finally become the seller's working capital.

Why settlement timing is a cash-flow decision, not an accounting detail

A COD seller pays for stock, packaging and advertising before a single dirham comes back. The money is sitting with buyers, then with couriers, then with the fulfilment partner. The gap between spending and settlement is the seller's working-capital hole.

A partner that settles monthly forces the seller to finance a month of advertising out of pocket. One that settles weekly cuts that hole by roughly three quarters. For a growing store this single difference decides how fast it can scale.

What a settlement should show

If a settlement arrives as a single number with no breakdown, the seller cannot reconcile it against their own orders. That is not a settlement, it is a payment.

How MDM Express settles

We settle at the end of each week. Collected cash is matched against your delivered orders, fees are deducted line by line, and the balance is transferred. The statement is available in your dashboard before the transfer leaves, so nothing arrives unexplained.
