Statements and Payment Records
Beyond individual transaction receipts, PayBru provides monthly statements that give creators a comprehensive view of their financial activity.
Monthly Statements
A monthly statement is a financial summary generated for any month where transactions occurred in your community. Statements are available as downloadable PDFs and are designed to give community owners a clear picture of their revenue and payouts.
What a Statement Contains
Each monthly statement includes the following:
| Section | Details |
|---|---|
| Gross revenue | Total revenue collected from all transactions during the month. |
| Platform fees | PayBru's platform fee deducted from gross revenue. |
| Gateway fees | Payment processing fees charged by the payment gateway. |
| Net revenue | Revenue remaining after platform and gateway fees. |
| Total payouts made | Sum of all payouts disbursed during the month. |
| Payout fees | Fees associated with payout processing. |
| Pending balance owed | Outstanding balance yet to be paid out. |
| Transaction count | Total number of transactions processed during the period. |
Statements are generated for any month where at least one transaction occurred. If there were no transactions in a given month, no statement is produced.
Who Can Access Statements
Only community owners can access and download statements for their community. This ensures that sensitive financial data remains restricted to the appropriate account holder.
Payment History
Your payment history is a running log of every transaction on your account. Unlike monthly statements, it is not grouped by period - it shows all payments in chronological order.
You can use payment history to:
- Verify a specific charge.
- Check the date of a past payment.
- Confirm which payment method was used for a transaction.
- Track your spending over time.
Using Records for Record-Keeping
Whether you're tracking personal expenses or managing business costs, PayBru's billing documents make it straightforward:
- Personal budgeting: review monthly statements to see what you spend on memberships each month.
- Business expenses: download receipts with fee breakdowns for expense claims or tax submissions.
- Dispute resolution: reference specific receipt numbers and payment dates if you need to query a charge with your bank.
- Accounting integration: creators can rely on QuickBooks sync to keep their financial records up to date automatically.
All billing documents are available for download in PDF format. See Downloading Billing Documents for instructions.
How Long Are Records Kept?
PayBru retains your payment history and statements for the lifetime of your account. You can access records from any point in your membership history at any time.
