Payments Dashboard 
===================

#### Monitor payment activity, manage virtual accounts, and generate reports 

The Payments Dashboard provides a centralized interface for monitoring payment activity, managing virtual accounts, and generating reconciliation reports. Access the dashboard at [dashboard.plaid.com](https://dashboard.plaid.com) .

A link to the Payments Dashboard appears in the Dashboard navigation after you have applied for access to [Payments in the Production environment](https://dashboard.plaid.com/overview/production) .

#### Overview 

The Payments Dashboard consists of two main sections for operational management:

##### Activity 

The Activity tab displays all payments created with Plaid, including one-time payments, Variable Recurring Payments (VRPs), refunds, payouts, and sweeps. Use this view to:

*   Search and filter payments by account, bank, country, payment type, status, and date range
*   View payment status and history for each transaction
*   Track settlement and understand payment lifecycles
*   Investigate issues with individual payments

##### Accounts 

The Accounts tab provides visibility into your virtual account wallets and associated balances. From this view, you can:

*   Monitor current and available balances for each virtual account
*   View account identifiers including account number and sort code
*   Access the transaction ledger for each account
*   Configure sweep settings and retrieve sweep reports

The Accounts tab is only available to customers using the [Virtual Accounts](https://plaid.com/docs/payment-initiation/virtual-accounts/index.html.md) product.

#### Payment details 

Select any payment from the Activity tab to view details, including:

*   Current and historical payment status with timestamped payment events
*   Payment amount, currency, and reference information
*   Counterparty details (sender and recipient)

From the payment detail view, you can raise a support ticket directly if further assistance is required. For more information on payment status transitions and terminal states, see [Payment Status](https://plaid.com/docs/payment-initiation/payment-status/index.html.md) .

#### Exporting reports 

The Payments Dashboard provides CSV export functionality for reconciliation and reporting.

##### Payment Activity Report 

Export a .csv report containing payment and sweep data from the Activity tab by clicking the "Export" button. You can also view previous exports by selecting "View exports".

##### Transaction Activity Report 

For Virtual Accounts customers, the Transactions overview in the Accounts tab allows you to export transaction data for any virtual account as a CSV file. Similar to the Payment Activity Report, you can:

*   Name your export and apply filters
*   Select specific date ranges for transactions
*   Access export history through "View exports"

#### Virtual Account management 

The Accounts tab displays details for each of your virtual accounts, including:

*   Unique wallet identifier (wallet ID)
*   Current balance and available balance
*   Account number and sort code (for applicable regions)
*   Complete transaction ledger with filtering capabilities

Access detailed information about any virtual account by selecting it from the list. For more information on virtual account operations, see [Managing your Virtual Account](https://plaid.com/docs/payment-initiation/virtual-accounts/managing-virtual-accounts/index.html.md) .

#### Sweep configuration 

For virtual accounts with automated sweeps enabled, the Dashboard provides visibility into sweep operations:

##### Sweep history 

View the complete sweep history for your virtual account, including:

*   Date and time of each sweep execution
*   Amount swept from the virtual account
*   Status of each sweep operation

You can also download a CSV report detailing all transactions included in a specific sweep.

##### Sweep settings 

Configure and monitor sweep parameters:

*   **Minimum balance**: Set the minimum balance to maintain in the wallet after each sweep. This balance remains in the virtual account and is not included in automated sweeps.
*   **Recipient account**: View the destination account information where funds are swept at the end of each day.
