You sell on Mercado Libre. But you don't know how much you keep per sale.
Mercado Libre charges for everything: a category fee (that changes), Gold or Clásica listing costs, Mercado Libre Full if you use it, interest-free installments the seller pays for, gross receipts tax (IIBB) perceptions, VAT and income tax withholdings. Add it all up and subtract it from the sale price — and you have to do it for every SKU, on every sale, every day. Nobody gets it right.
"Mercado Libre charges me 50 different ways and I don't understand how much I keep"
"The cost of Full eats my margin and I don't know which products it's worth it for"
"I don't know whether Gold or Clásica is better for each product"
Excel, Meta and your accountant weren't built for this.
Mercado Libre shows revenue, not profit broken down
It tells you how much you sold and how much was deposited, but not which fee took how much. Without that detail, there's no decision to make.
Excel can't map every fee to every sale
Fees that change by category, products moving in and out of Full, installments offered by season — Excel doesn't scale.
Your accountant treats Mercado Libre as one block
That works for taxes. It doesn't work for deciding whether a specific product should sell as Gold or Clásica.
How Escalafy breaks down Mercado Libre
We connect your Mercado Libre account and map every fee to every sale: category fee, listing cost, Full, installments, tax perceptions, withholdings. We show you your real profit per SKU on Mercado Libre — and compare it with the same SKU on Tiendanube or Shopify.
The hardest part for me was unifying Mercado Libre with Tiendanube. I had a full-time employee just to consolidate data and there were always errors. Escalafy connected everything in 5 minutes and now I see real profitability by channel. The cash flow predictor is amazing: I know when I get paid for each sale based on the payment method, and I can plan stock without running out of cash.
