Generate reports
PayPal reports help you manage day-to-day operations by providing transaction-level insight.
You'll need to contact your account manager or Merchant Technical Support to set up report access and parameters. Once that's done, you'll need to create a secure FTP user account on the PayPal site.
There are three reports for the PayPal Commerce Platform:
- Marketplace Case Reconciliation report. Shows details for case management processes, including details for cases that were opened or closed during the reporting time frame.
- Partner Fee Reconciliation report. Shows details for the transactions that affect the partner-fee account. Enables you to reconcile and manage revenue through partner fees.
- Payouts Reconciliation report. Shows details for platform activity. Enables you to reconcile the end-to-end money flow and transactions.
