This feature is available with all subscription plans:

MAY 2024 UPDATE  - New Payments Section

We have added a Payments section to the merchant dashboard to simplify the reconciliation process. Read more here!

When an order is approved, we immediately send it for settlement to Adyen. Transactions are submitted for settlement each day and disburses around 11:30pm ET. Deposits are typically two business days after a transaction settles.

In summary, you can expect to see funds deposited to your bank about two business days after an order is approved.

Transaction Reports

Utilize transaction reports to reconcile your bank disbursements to your orders. This is found in the Overview Section of your dashboard, by selecting Reports.

You have the ability to download reports from the All Reports section as it will showcase all report activities. If you prefer to use what you have used in the past, you can go to Legacy Reports to proceed! 

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). These details can be reviewed in your report. 

Downloading the Transaction Report

Follow the steps below to download the transaction report. This will go over how to download from the All Reports section. 
1. Begin on Overview > Reports and go to All Reports or Legacy Reports at the top depending on how you prefer to search
2. Go to Transaction Report in the middle of the page and click "Get Report"

3. 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
4. Choose the date range that you would like to review. You can also scroll down to the bottom and choose "Custom" if you would like to select your own date range Screenshot 2024-09-16 at 6.12.37 PM
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. 
5. Go to Details and click the small down arrow to add or remove details from your report. For example: You would like to see what the driver's were tipped for orders. You can add that detail and driver name to the report. See more information below in the Transaction Report Details section

7. Select "Download" to get the report

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
