Transactions
The Transactions view puts every paid charge and billing detail at your fingertips, making it easy to find exactly what you need when you need it.
What makes this view different
While most reports help you spot trends or analyze patterns, sometimes you just need to find that one specific transaction. Maybe a customer has a question about a charge, or you noticed something interesting in your earnings report that you want to investigate further. That’s where Transactions comes in - think of it as your financial search engine, helping you track down exactly what you’re looking for.

Finding what you need
The true power of the Transactions view lies in how easily you can find exactly what you’re looking for. Let’s look at the tools at your disposal:
Powerful filtering
We’ve built a rich set of filters that help you zero in on specific transactions. Think of them as your search toolkit:
- Transaction type: Focus on subscriptions, usage charges, or one-time charges
- Billing provider: Filter by Shopify or Stripe transactions
- Customer: Look up charges for a specific shop
- Date range: Set custom date ranges with “Occurred after” and “Occurred before”
- Plan interval: Filter by monthly or annual billing cycles
- Account owner: Particularly useful for account managers checking their portfolio
- Country: Filter transactions by customer location
The real power comes from combining these filters. For instance, you might want to see all subscription charges for a specific customer in the last month, or check all usage charges managed by a particular account owner.
