We’ve heard your feedback about how reports based only on payout timing made accrual reconciliation more difficult, especially when some transactions are deferred.
By April 30, 2026, we’ll update the Date Range Transaction and Summary reports for our US, Canada, Mexico, and Brazil stores.
This change applies to the following users:
- Sellers who are subject to delivery-date based reserve policies and can view deferred transactions on the Payments dashboard
- Developers who access transaction reports through the reports API
The updated reports will provide a clearer view of accrued earnings for month-end reconciliation and financial reporting.
By April 30, when you request a Transaction or Summary report for a period beginning January 1, 2025, you’ll notice three key improvements:
- All posted transactions are in one place. Your reports will include both transactions that have already been released to your balance, as well as transactions that are deferred under delivery-date based policies. You no longer must download separate deferred transaction reports to view deferred activity.
- Activity is indexed by posted date. The Date/Time column in Transaction reports will reflect the transaction posted date, rather than the release date, or payout eligibility date. This posted date provides a more consistent view of activity during the period that you select.
- You have clear visibility into deferred versus released statuses in same report. There will be a new column in Transaction reports that shows whether a transaction is deferred or released. An additional column, Transaction Release Date, will indicate when the transaction was released. If a transaction remains deferred, the release date field will be blank.
If you have existing integrations with third-party financial systems, we recommend that you update your mappings or scripts. Note that reports for periods before January 1, 2025, will continue to follow the prior format. We plan to roll out similar reporting updates for additional stores by June 30, 2026.
To view your reports, follow these steps:
- Go to Payments, and select Reports Repository.
- Under Account type, select All (Unified Reports).
- Under Report type, select Summary or Transaction.
- Set the start date in the Reporting date range as January 1, 2025 or later.
- Click Request report.
