# Total Fees Calculation — Dabstep Dataset ## Problem Type Calculate the total fees (in euros) a merchant owes for all their transactions in a given time window by matching each transaction to the correct fee rule and summing `fee = fixed_amount + rate * eur_amount / 10000`. ## Data Files | File | Purpose | |------|---------| | `payments.csv` | All transactions: `merchant`, `year`, `day_of_year`, `card_scheme`, `is_credit`, `aci`, `issuing_country`, `acquirer_country`, `eur_amount`, `is_refused_by_adyen`, `has_fraudulent_dispute` | | `fees.json` | 1000 fee rules with matching criteria and `fixed_amount` + `rate` | | `merchant_data.json` | Merchant properties: `account_type`, `capture_delay`, `merchant_category_code` | ## Complete Solution Template Use this all-in-one code block to minimize the number of code executions: ```python import pandas as pd, json, datetime, calendar # --- Load data --- payments = pd.read_csv('payments.csv') with open('merchant_data.json') as f: merchants = {m['merchant']: m for m in json.load(f)} with open('fees.json') as f: fees = json.load(f) # --- Parameters (adjust for the question) --- merchant_name = 'Belles_cookbook_store' year = 2023 # For a specific day N of year: start_day = end_day = N # For a calendar month (e.g., September): use month_to_doy_range below # For full year: start_day=1, end_day=365 def month_to_doy_range(yr, mo): start = sum(calendar.monthrange(yr, i)[1] for i in range(1, mo)) + 1 end = start + calendar.monthrange(yr, mo)[1] -

Do NOT investigate why some transactions have no matching rule. **High no-match rates are EXPECTED and CORRECT**: Many merchant MCCs (e.g., 5942, 7372, 7993) do not appear in any fee rule's explicit `merchant_category_code` list — they can only match rules where `merchant_category_code: []`. After further filtering by card_scheme, aci, is_credit, intracountry, and monthly stats, **30–70% no-match rates are entirely normal**. This is verified correct behavior across multiple merchants and time periods. Do not doubt results with high no-match rates. **Do NOT modify the matching function after getting a result**: If you see a high no-match rate, do not "fix" the matching logic. The algorithm above is exact — changing it will produce wrong answers (seen empirically: modified logic inflated results by ~30%). ## Common Pitfalls - **Monthly stats use ALL transactions** (including refused) for volume and fraud rate; fee calculation uses only `is_refused_by_adyen == False`. - **capture_delay mapping**: numeric '1' → `'<3'`; '7' → `'>5'`; 'manual'/'immediate' → unchanged. - **Fraud rate** = total fraudulent EUR amount / total EUR amount (not transaction count). Use `has_fraudulent_dispute == True`. - **Round final answer to 2 decimal places**. - **Month from day_of_year**: Day 10 → January (month 1); Day 200 → July. Always convert using `get_month_for_doy`.
