Transaction Reports & Bank Reconciliation

Overview

This article summarizes the order approval through bank deposit flow and how you can use the transaction report within your dashboard to reconcile bank disbursements.

MARCH 2024 UPDATE  - Reconciling Braintree and Adyen

We are in the process of adding support for multiple processors and are migrating to Adyen as our primary payment processor. During the migration, you will likely receive disbursements from both, Braintree and Adyen. To simplify the reconciliation, we highly recommend separating the disbursements.

Disbursements from Braintree will say "FUNDING" in the descriptor. Disbursements from Adyen will say "PAYOUT" in the descriptor. 

When you pull your transaction report (instructions below) from the dashboard, you can use Column D 'Transaction Processor' to differentiate between Braintree and Adyen.

Please be aware, Braintree disbursements are generally deposited 1-2 business days after the disbursement date. Adyen disbursements are currently reflecting as deposited the same date as the disbursement date (after onboarding is complete). 

Lastly, refunds processed through Braintree were separately withdrawn from your account, whereas refunds through Adyen will be deducted from your upcoming disbursement. You can filter the transaction report for refunded transactions (Column AI 'Order Status') to help with reconciling these amounts.

We are working on further enhancing the reporting around this and updating our knowledge base materials to reflect all changes. 

If you believe you are missing any disbursements, please confirm that you have completed the steps outlined here to resume disbursements. If you are still having trouble reconciling, please reach out to our team at support@cityhive.net.

 

When an order is approved, we immediately send it for settlement to Braintree or Adyen . Transactions submitted for settlement after 6PM ET will be included in the next day's settlements. Disbursement occurs the next business day after a transaction settles and deposits are typically two business days after a transaction settles. In summary, you can expect to see funds deposited to your bank two business days after an order is approved.
 
You can use the transaction report to reconcile your bank disbursements to your orders. The transaction report is found in the Overview Section of your dashboard, by selecting Reports 
City Hive transaction fees, credit card fees, and insurance fees (if applicable) are deducted prior to disbursement for each transaction (i.e., for each order). You can review the details of these fees in your transaction report. The definitions of the transaction report columns are included below.
 

Downloading the Transaction Report

 
Follow the steps below to download the transaction report.
 
1. Click Transaction Report on the left side of your screen   
2. Choose how you would like to filter the date range. For example, if you select, Get Range By "Disbursement Date," this means that only orders  disbursed within the date range that you select will be included.
 
3. Choose the date range that you would like to review
We recommend waiting at least three business days after an order is accepted to review your bank deposits against the Transaction Report. E.g., You can run this report by disbursement date on Wednesday to account for the orders between Sunday and Saturday of the prior week. This allows Friday night and Saturday’s transactions to have been disbursed on Monday and deposited to your bank by Tuesday. 
 
4. Select "Get Report"
5. Select "Download"
 
If you would like to review a report for a different date range, please make sure to refresh the page prior to selecting the new date range. 

Reconciling Bank Disbursements

We recommend opening the CSV file using Excel or Google Sheets. To review your transactions against your bank disbursements, create a pivot table following the steps below:
 
1. Select all of the data in the spreadsheet (Ctrl+A)
2. Select Insert > Pivot Table > OK
3. Set up the pivot table to include the  Disbursement Date as a Row and the  Sum of Disbursed to Your Account as a Value, as shown below
4. Reconcile the disbursement amounts to the deposits in your bank account.  As a reminder, deposits typically occur one business day after disbursement.
