Located in the SwipeSimple Dashboard, Transactions allows users to view and report on transactions taken in the lifetime of their SwipeSimple Company. Admin Users will be able to see a full history, whereas Member Users will be limited to only view transactions taken by their user. SwipeSimple Companies with a SwipeSimple Payments Device will have a Create a New Transaction button in this report which will navigate the user to the Virtual Terminal where they will be able to process a payment.
Table of Contents
In the Transactions section, the 10 most recent transactions that were processed in the last 90 days will be displayed by default. The dates selected will display in a chip on the top left of the transaction table.
The date range can be expanded by using the report filter and the total transactions per page can be modified to show up to 100 transactions by using the dropdown menu at the bottom of the page. If you leave and return, the default view will return to pre-loading 10 entries per page.
Filters
The Transactions report can be filtered in a variety of ways. It includes a Search bar to enter in a key term to narrow down results. The filter button can be found next to the search bar and when clicked will present you with multiple options to filter report results.
Merchant Account: This filter will display if your Company has one Payment Device or multiple. The Payment Device filter is a drop down selection which allows you to select a single device or choose all devices. The default view for Transactions will display all. Transactions cannot be transferred between payment devices.
Taken By: This filter will allow you to further refine your search to a SwipeSimple user or users, while omitting others.
Dates: Allows you to show transactions taken only within that range.
The date range filter expands when you click on it. SwipeSimple will offer some quick buttons to easily select some frequently used date ranges which you’ll see to the left. To the right, there will be two small calendars which allows for the selection of a custom date range. The first one represents the start date and the second represents the end date for your filter selection. A user must select a date from each calendar and then select the Apply button at the bottom left for the selected date range to take effect. If Apply is not selected, and a user clicks out of the calendar, the date range selection window will be dismissed without updating.

Filter selections will remain fixed for a SwipeSimple User for future reporting. Filters can also be a common root cause for reporting not displaying expected results. Transactions will display a note above the report results which will show how many transactions it is currently showing out of the number of total transactions available in the report. It will also display if the report is filtered from a total number of transactions that did not meet filtering criteria.
Report Data
Transactions History displays in a table view with each row representing a transaction taken in your SwipeSimple account. The Transaction Number, assigned by SwipeSimple, displays as the first column. Each additional column header, which we’ll review below, will define the content in the table. Clicking on the arrows to the right of each column name will sort the table alphanumerically by the data within that column. A red arrow indicates the column that is currently sorting the table and in which order. The final row in the table will provide totals for each column.

Type: The type of transaction processed; either Sale or Refund.
Amount: The dollar amount that was processed in the transaction.

- Declined: The transaction was declined by the processor; the decline message will be visible on the transaction receipt on the Details page.
- Voided: The transaction was voided by the merchant prior to settlement.
- Errored: An error occurred when attempting to process the transaction; the final result of the transaction is unknown to SwipeSimple. It may have gone through to the processor and been approved or declined, or it may have never made it through.
- Canceled: Similar to above, an error occurred when attempting to process the transaction. Typically these are caused on SwipeSimple Terminal by a timeout between SwipeSimple and the BroadPOS application.

If the payment method was Tapped, the issuing bank may not return the name of the cardholder and instead return CARDHOLDER/BRAND.
