How to Use the Shelterpay Accounting Reports

Once your organization has fully set up Shelterpay by enrolling and connecting your Stax account, you will be able to report on transactions with the following three accounting quick reports. Depending on your accounting requirements, you may find that one report in particular will work best for your needs.

The three accounting quick reports this article covers are:

  • Shelterpay Summary by Payout Date
  • General Summary by Transaction Date
  • Payout Reconciliation

 Note
These three reports are only available after you have enrolled in Stax. Both the Shelterpay Summary by Payout Date and the Payout Reconciliation quick reports will not include any Stripe transactions.

Shelterpay Summary by Payout Date Report Overview


Use the Shelterpay Summary by Payout Date quick report to view completed transactions that have been paid out to you during your selected date range. If the transaction has not been paid out, it will not appear on this report.

 Note
Transactions processed before 8pm ET will be paid out 2 business days after they were processed. Transactions processed after 8pm ET will be paid out 3 business days after they were processed. Payouts will not occur on weekends or federal holidays.

The date or date range that you input to run this report will align with the date that you received the payout in your bank account, not the date that the transactions were initially processed. Note that some banks may be delayed in their deposits by a day or so, so you may need to try a couple of dates on this report until you determine your bank's typical pattern.

Once you run the report, you will see three tabs: Summary Report, Transaction Detail Report, and Item Detail Report. Each tab is designed to give you a unique view of the paid-out transactions within your date range.

You will also have two filters at the top of each tab. Use the Cash Drawer(s) filter to view transactions from specific cash drawers only, which will filter out transactions assigned to other cash drawers.

Use the Show Charges and Refunds/Voids toggle on the right to easily show or hide those columns in the main reporting table.

General Summary by Transaction Date Report Overview


Use the General Summary by Transaction Date quick report to view transactions completed during your selected date range.

This report is very similar to the Shelterpay Summary by Payout Date quick report outlined above, but reports on transaction date, so it will include transactions that have not been paid out yet and will include transactions for all payment methods.

Once you run the report, you will see three tabs: Summary Report, Transaction Detail Report, and Item Detail Report. Each tab is designed to give you a unique view of the transactions within your date range.

You will also have four filters at the top of each tab:

  1. Cash Drawer(s) - View transactions from specific cash drawers only.
  2. Payment Type(s) - View transactions from specific payment types only.
  3. Show Payment Methods toggle - Easily show or hide those columns in the main reporting table.
  4. Show Charges and Refunds/Voids toggle - Easily show or hide those columns in the main reporting table

    At the bottom, you will have your Totals table that will outline your total charges, refunds/voids, total gross processed, total fees, and total net paid out for transactions completed during the selected date range. Note that the fees and net total will only be present/accurate if the transactions have been paid out (which is typically 2-3 business days after they were processed):

Payout Reconciliation Report Overview


Use the Payout Reconciliation quick report to view a summary or an itemized report of your payouts received during your selected date range. Similar to the Shelterpay Summary by Payout Date report, you will enter the date or date range for the payout(s) received, not for the original processing date of the transactions themselves.

alert-outline.svg
 Note
Transactions processed before 8pm EST will be paid out 2 business days after they were processed. Transactions processed after 8pm EST will be paid out 3 business days after they were processed. Payouts will not occur on weekends or federal holidays.

The report will pull all of the payouts that have occurred during your selected date range and combine all transactions paid out by charges, refunds, and the total, with separate columns splitting the data by gross amount, fees, and net.

Clicking the green Itemized Report button will show one row per transaction included in payouts made during a selected time period. Each row will list the Batch ID and Batch time for each transaction to assist with payout reconciliation.
