Overview

In early February 2026 Amazon rolled out a Payments Reports Repository inside Seller Central. The new hub gathers every payment‑related file—settlements, fee breakdowns, tax summaries and transaction logs—into one searchable location. Sellers who rely on accurate bookkeeping or need to meet tax deadlines will notice faster access, easier organization and the ability to automate report generation.

Key Points

• Unified dashboard — All financial documents appear on a single page, removing the need to jump between the old “Payments,” “Tax” and “Business Reports” menus.
• Custom tagging — Users can attach labels such as “Q2‑2026‑FBA” or “promo‑fees” to any report, then retrieve only the tagged files with one click.
• Scheduled automation — Reports can be set to run daily, weekly or monthly, cutting manual request effort by as much as 80 % for sellers with high transaction volumes.
• Live status badges — Each entry shows a real‑time indicator (“Processing,” “Ready,” “Failed”), so sellers know exactly when a file becomes downloadable.
• Data integrity preserved — The underlying columns, calculations and numeric values are identical to the legacy versions, ensuring existing spreadsheets and API integrations continue to work.
• Bulk schedule management — Multiple scheduled reports can be edited or cancelled in a single action, simplifying adjustments when promotional periods end or business cycles shift.

How Payments Reports Repository Works

1. Open the repository — From the Seller Central home page, select the newly added “Payments Reports” tab. The landing screen lists every report type with a central filter bar. Example: A seller looking for the “2025‑12‑31 Settlement” chooses “Settlement” from the dropdown and instantly sees that file among other statements.
2. Generate or tag a report — When creating a new report, the seller picks a predefined tag or types a custom label. Example: After running a “FBA Fee Detail” for May 2026, the seller adds the tag “May‑2026‑FBA” so the file can be located later without scrolling through older entries.
