Settlement Report

Overview

Settlement Reports are provided by Alipay+ to the Acquiring Service Provider (ACQP) for settlement purposes. This report is generated according to the period agreed in the contract. The Settlement Report is uploaded to a specific directory on the SFTP server. The ACQP can download and use it for reconciliation.

Alipay+ needs to pay the ACQP the amount stated in the Settlement Report from the clearing bank by fund payment before the date specified by valueDate.

File location and naming convention

The Settlement Report file is a UTF-8 encoded text file.

In the production environment, the file is saved by default in the directory /v1/settlements/settlement/<participantId>/<date>. And in the sandbox environment, the file is saved in the directory /sandbox/settlements/settlement/<participantId>/<date>.

The default file name is settlement_<participantId>_<settlementCurrency>_<settlementBatchId>_<participantAgreementId>_<seq>.csv. For the detailed information of each field in the file name, refer to the following table:

Field Name

Details

participantId

The unique ID that Alipay+ assigns to the ACQP. This field identifies the receiver of the file.

date

The date when the report is generated, not the date of the transactions. For example, a report with a date of 20220319 is generated on 2022.03.19.

settlementCurrency

The currency that is used in the settlement, as agreed in the contract. This is the same currency as the one that is stated in the Settlement Report. 

settlementBatchId

The settlement batch ID.

participantAgreementId

The unique ID that is assigned by Alipay+ to identify a settlement agreement between Alipay+ and the ACQP. The value of the participantAgreementId parameter is determined by the value of the participantId parameter and the settlement currency used by the ACQP (and separately allocated for AlipayCN). The ID represents the fund flow when Alipay+ performs settlement to the ACQP.

seq

The sequence number used as a file index. The field is used when multiple files exist in the settlement cycle. The file index is ordered in the range of 000-999.

Report structure

The Settlement Report consists of two parts:

  • Summary section, which displays the settlement information.
  • Detail section, which lists the clearing cycles that are related to this settlement.

Each Settlement Report only contains one set of settlement information, but the settlement information might include information from multiple clearing cycles. When no amount is to be settled, or the amount to be settled is less than the settlement amount threshold as agreed in the contract, a Settlement Report is generated with an amount of 0. The transaction amount and currency are empty. The Settlement Report is only generated on the settlement date. In addition, if the settlement date is a holiday, no report will be generated, and neither will the directory.
