Run a transactions report

A transactions report lets you see all card and cash transactions that occurred through GoDaddy Payments during a specified date range. You can generate a transactions report through the Dashboard in your web browser or on your GoDaddy smart terminal.

Transaction reports include all purchases, refunds, declines and voids, the transaction ID and the employee associated with each transaction.

  1. Go to the Dashboard where you manage your GoDaddy Payments account (use your GoDaddy username and password).
  2. Select Reports.
  3. Select Transactions Report.
  4. In the Type dropdown menu, ensure that Transactions Report is selected.
  5. In the To and From fields, specify the date range for the report.
  6. Select Generate to pull your report. (This can take a few minutes.)
  7. You'll receive an email notification when the report is ready. Select the link in the email to return to Reports. The report will appear below your filter selections.

    • To download the report in PDF format, select PDF (if available).
    • Use the filters above the report list (under Report History) to locate a previously generated report based on the report type and/or the date the report was generated.
  1. From your smart terminal home screen, tap Settlements or Deposit.
  2. Tap Reports in the lower-right corner.
  3. Tap Generate Report.
  4. In the Type dropdown menu, tap Transactions.
  5. In the Start date and End date fields, specify the date range for the report.
  6. In the Employee field, tap a specific employee. Or – leave the field as All employees to run a complete report of every transaction in that date range.
  7. Tap Generate to pull your report.
  8. When the report is ready, it will appear on your smart terminal screen. Tap View to open and review it.
    Note: Reports created on the smart terminal will also display in your web browser Dashboard under Reports. Access them in your web browser to download a PDF or Excel version of the report.
Note: We recommend getting familiar with the different metrics we use in our reports to better understand the way they are presented in each report.

The transactions report includes several sections. At the top, there's a Net Payment Summary section that displays a number and dollar amount for Total Payments, Refunds, Net Payments, Voids and Declines, with their further breakdown.

At the bottom of the page, there's a more detailed breakdown of transactions by type (check, cash, or card) for payments, refunds, declines and voids. The breakdown also includes more details, like, for example, the transaction ID for each transaction and the employee that processed the order, when applicable.
