Overview

Amazon Seller Central's Transactions page gives sellers a consolidated view of all financial activity on their account since the most recent settlement period through the prior day's close. Understanding how to navigate this page is essential for reconciling payments, tracking fees, and catching discrepancies before they become costly problems. Whether you're investigating a specific order or reviewing a full settlement cycle, the Transactions view is the primary tool for monitoring your money flow.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Real-time financial snapshot — The Transactions page reflects activity up to the previous day's close, giving you a near-current picture of your account balance and pending settlements.
• Multiple transaction types — The page captures orders, refunds, service fees, chargebacks, A-to-z Guarantee claims, and Amazon-initiated credits or charges, all in one place.
• Flexible filtering — You can narrow results by transaction type, date range, or specific order number to quickly find what you need.
• FBA fee visibility — Sellers using Fulfillment by Amazon can see storage fees, inbound shipping charges, and refund-related credits broken out individually.
• Reserve and carryover tracking — Amounts held in reserve due to pending claims or chargebacks are displayed, along with any balances carried forward from previous statements.

How the Transactions Page Works

The Transactions page is organized around a summary view that lists each financial event on your account. Every line item represents a distinct transaction such as a completed order payment, a buyer-initiated refund, a subscription fee, or an Amazon-assessed charge. By default, the page shows all transactions from the current settlement period, but sellers can customize the view extensively. To drill into any specific transaction, clicking the detail link on the right side of the summary row opens a breakdown showing the components of that charge or credit, including per-unit fees, shipping credits, and marketplace adjustments.

Filtering and Search Options

Sellers have three main ways to refine what appears on the Transactions page. The first is the transaction type filter, which defaults to showing all types but can be set to display only orders, refunds, service fees, chargebacks, or A-to-z claims individually. The second is the date range selector, which offers three modes: the full settlement period (the default), a preset number of days, or a custom date range you define. After adjusting either filter, you need to click the refresh or apply button to update the results. The third option is a direct order search — entering a specific order number and pressing Go will display only transactions tied to that order, which is particularly useful when investigating customer disputes or reconciling individual shipments.
