Key concepts

You will learn how PayMongo organizes analytics data and what the dashboard analytics view shows.

How PayMongo structures transaction data

PayMongo organizes analytics around transaction data that you can use for reporting and analysis. In practice, this means you work with records and fields that describe each transaction, such as the amount, payment method, status, and time the transaction was created.

This structure lets different teams answer different questions from the same source data. Finance teams can monitor daily revenue, and leadership teams can review trends.

Dashboard analytics

Dashboard analytics is the built-in analytics view in the PayMongo Dashboard, on the Reports page. It shows total sales, a net revenue breakdown, and a payment method breakdown for the date range you pick. You can also export the payments in that date range.

Key terms

• Export: A file of the payments in the selected date range, so your team can review or use the data elsewhere.
• Report: A view of data used to answer a business question, such as daily revenue or payment method mix.
