Overview

Amazon Seller Central's Payments Reports provide a comprehensive view of your account's financial activity, including balances, disbursements, order revenue, refunds, fees, and adjustments. For Amazon sellers managing cash flow and reconciling their books, these reports are one of the most essential tools available in Seller Central.

Key Points / What Sellers Need to Know

• Account Summary at a Glance — The Payments Reports dashboard displays your beginning balance, current balance, and the next scheduled date for fund transfers to your bank account, giving you a quick snapshot of where your money stands.
• Order and Refund Totals — You can view aggregated totals for orders and refunds over a given period, making it straightforward to track revenue and returns without digging through individual transactions.
• Detailed Transaction Breakdown — The reports let you drill into credits, fees, and adjustments tied to specific orders, so you can see exactly how much Amazon charged in referral fees, FBA fees, or other deductions on each sale.
• Custom Date Range Reports — Sellers can generate downloadable reports containing all transactions for a selected date range, which is critical for monthly bookkeeping, tax preparation, and financial audits.
• Multiple Account Reports — If you sell through both Amazon Marketplace and Webstore (or previously used multiple selling channels), separate payment reports are generated for each, so you need to review both to get the full financial picture.

How Payments Reports Work

To access your Payments Reports, navigate to the Reports tab in Seller Central and select "Payments." From there you will see several views: a Summary page showing your current balance and upcoming disbursement date, a Transaction View that lists individual transactions, and a Date Range Reports section where you can generate custom reports. The Summary page is the best starting point for a quick financial check-in, as it displays your beginning balance for the current settlement period, all incoming revenue from orders, outgoing amounts from refunds, and the net amount Amazon will transfer to your bank account. Settlement periods typically run on a 14-day cycle, though this can vary depending on your account history and standing.
