Settlement Batch Summaryanchor

Transactions that have been submitted for settlement are sent to processors in groups known as settlement batches. The Settlement Batch Summary displays the total sales and credits for each batch. You can limit the scope of your Settlement Batch Summary by setting a date range, selecting specific merchant accounts, and excluding certain payment types.

Running a Settlement Batch Summaryanchor

Only users with the Create, Run, and Download Reports role permission can access the Settlement Batch Summary. To run a Settlement Batch Summary:

  1. Log into the Control Panel
  2. Click on Reports in the navigation bar
  3. Next to Settlement Batch Summary, click the Run Report button
  4. If necessary, specify a merchant account
  5. Select your desired date range
  6. Select any desired payment method exclusions (if applicable); learn more
  7. Click the Run Settlement Batch Summary button
  8. Click the Download button if you'd like to export your results as a CSV (maximum 40,000 rows)
note

Settlement Batch Summaries are not available for marketplace sub-merchant accounts.

Excluding PayPal or American Express transactionsanchor

If you are set up to accept PayPal transactions, you can better reconcile Settlement Batch Summaries with your Braintree disbursements by excluding PayPal from this report. Similarly, if you use your own Amex account, it may be helpful to exclude Amex transactions, because Amex funds won’t be included in Braintree deposits.

Settlement batch cutoff timesanchor

The cutoff time that determines which transactions are included in each settlement batch depends on your account setup and can’t be changed. Contact us if you have any questions about your specific setup.
