If you use sellerboard for Amazon and also sell on Kaufland, you need a cost calculation for this channel too. The key questions here: Which commission belongs to which order unit? What is sales revenue and what is payout? And how do your own shipping costs, returns and advertising come into the calculation?
In short
Kaufland is not listed as a supported platform by sellerboard as of the check date. profitkonsole for Kaufland links Kaufland order units from all Kaufland countries with booking data and adds the costs you maintain. The click costs of your Sponsored Product Ads come in automatically from the booking report, as a separate line in the channel result.

Does sellerboard support Kaufland?
Sellerboard lists Amazon, eBay and Walmart and offers a separate product for Shopify. Kaufland is not among the platforms listed there. For your Kaufland analysis you therefore need a suitable connection. You will find the comparison for the other German marketplace under Sellerboard for OTTO.
Contribution margin, not revenue
Every sales channel in one dashboard: marketplace data and your own costs brought together, per item and per channel.
Four checks for your Kaufland profit analysis
1. Commission including customer-paid shipping
Kaufland calculates its commission on the selling price including shipping costs. If a spreadsheet uses only the item price as its basis, this share is missing. For the profit calculation, the booked commissions should match the sales. Our Kaufland fee guide covers the specific terms and the base fee.
2. Keep sale, commission and payout separate
A payout is neither revenue nor profit. In the Kaufland data, the selling price and the proceeds after commission are shown as different values. If you take the already reduced value as revenue and deduct the commission again, you count the same costs twice. So check which amounts your tool uses for revenue and fees.
3. Be able to trace individual order units
An order can contain several order units. Multiple copies of the same item are also listed individually. A cancellation or refund may affect only part of the order. A useful analysis must be able to link the affected unit with its status and booking data.
4. Add your own costs in full
The shipping amount paid by the customer does not automatically cover your costs for carrier, packaging and return shipping. Depending on the question, purchasing, warehousing, software and advertising also belong in the calculation. Clarify for each cost type whether it is imported, calculated from your settings or added manually. Simply displaying revenue and fees does not replace this cost maintenance.
How profitkonsole works with Kaufland data
You enter the API keys from the Kaufland Seller Portal. profitkonsole imports order units and booking data via the seller API. Booked commissions are assigned to the order units; sale and payout remain distinguishable. This covers every Kaufland country you sell in:profitkonsole converts amounts in koruna and złoty to euros at the ECB reference rate, and you can filter the analysis by country. In the product analysis you can view revenue and contribution margin together with your own costs.
| Component | Data source in profitkonsole | Your check |
|---|---|---|
| Sales and status | Kaufland order units and sales report | Reconcile period, order unit, cancellation and return |
| Sales commission | Kaufland booking data | Link fee and credit to the affected unit |
| Purchasing | Purchase prices you enter, with a valid-from date | Add missing prices and price changes |
| Your own shipping | Your shipping profiles and packing rules | Enter outbound and return shipping to match the item |
| Advertising (Sponsored Product Ads) | Automatically from the booking report, spread over the days of the billed month (channel result, not per item) | Do not enter again as an indirect expense |
| Additional expenses | Indirect expenses you enter | Enter amounts and period, avoid double entry |
This lets you compare, for example, two items with the same selling price: one needs a larger parcel, the other is returned more often. Maintaining your costs makes these differences visible in the analysis. A positive contribution margin does not yet mean company profit; running costs must also be taken into account.
A sensible cross-check before switching tools
- Choose a completed period and reconcile sales and bookings with the Kaufland Seller Portal.
- Check a regular order, a cancellation and a return. In each case, trace the order unit and the associated amounts.
- Enter purchasing, shipping and additional expenses. Also check that the monthly base fee is counted exactly once.
- If you sell in several Kaufland countries, select them one by one and reconcile fees and euro amounts with the Seller Portal before comparing results.
You can keep using sellerboard for Amazon and add profitkonsole for Kaufland. You can also connect Amazon in profitkonsole. In particular, check the scope of advertising costs: ad spend that Amazon deducts from your payout is picked up automatically as a separate line in the channel result, without analysis per campaign. If you pay for Amazon Ads by credit card or invoice, you enter it as an indirect expense.
Frequently asked questions
Are Kaufland advertising costs imported automatically?
Yes, the click costs of your Sponsored Product Ads. Kaufland bills them once a month through your booking report, usually at the start of the following month. profitkonsole picks them up from there automatically and net, as a separate line in the result of your Kaufland account. By default, profitkonsole spreads the amount evenly over the days of the billed month; you can spread it by daily revenue instead or show it on the day it is charged. Until Kaufland has billed a month, profitkonsole estimates its advertising costs from the last billed month when spreading, and marks them as estimated. They are not assigned to individual items, and profitkonsole does not analyse campaigns, clicks or ROAS for Kaufland. Do not enter the click costs again as an indirect expense, otherwise they are counted twice.
How do I connect my Kaufland account?
You generate API keys in the Kaufland Seller Portal and enter them in profitkonsole. The keys are stored encrypted. You can revoke them in the Seller Portal.
What do I need to maintain myself?
