| name | Total_Fees_Calculation |
| description | Use this skill to calculate total payment processing fees for a merchant over a specified time period (e.g., a specific day, month, or year) in the dabstep dataset. Apply when asked: "What are the total fees that [merchant] paid in [period]?", "What is the total fees for [merchant] on [day]?", or any question requiring summing per-transaction fees using the fees.json rule engine.

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.
Workflow
After reading any required documentation files, go directly to computation using the template below in a single code block. Do NOT inspect data structures separately — the schema is fully specified here. Implement and run everything in one execution.
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
Adapt the parameters and run this as a single code block:
import pandas as pd, json, datetime, calendar
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)
merchant_name = 'Belles_cookbook_store'
year = 2023
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] - 1
return start, end
start_day, end_day = month_to_doy_range(year, 9)
merch = merchants[merchant_name]
account_type = merch['account_type']
mcc = merch['merchant_category_code']

Fee Rule Matching Logic
Fields follow "empty/null = applies to all":
| fees.json field | Match logic |
|---|
card_scheme | Must equal transaction's card_scheme (exact) |
account_type | [] → all; else merchant's account_type must be in the list |
capture_delay | null → all; else must equal capture_delay_mapped |
monthly_fraud_level | null → all; else must equal categorized fraud level |
monthly_volume | null → all; else must equal categorized volume |
merchant_category_code | [] → all; else merchant's mcc must be in the list |
is_credit | null → all; else must equal transaction's is_credit |
aci | [] → all; else transaction's aci must be in the list |
intracountry | null → all; 0.0 → False (international); 1.0 → True (domestic) |
Intracountry = issuing_country == acquirer_country using payments.csv columns (NOT merchant_data.json).
Multiple rule matches: Use the first rule in fees.json order (lowest ID).
Critical Rules
Submit immediately after the first computation: Once you have the total fees value, submit it as the answer. 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.
- Full year boundary: Use
366 if calendar.isleap(year) else 365 for end_day, not a hardcoded 365.
