You can use data from the Payments endpoints to calculate key metrics, such as gross sales and monthly recurring revenue (MRR).

Overview

Payments contain details of all payments made by customers to a company, including: amounts, currency used, payment method, payment provider, and payment status.

Refunds are recorded as separate, negative payments. Note that a refund can only occur in relation to a payment that has been completed (i.e. has a status of Paid). When a customer cancels an order before a payment has been completed, the payment shows as Cancelled.

From the Payments endpoints you can retrieve:

A list of all commerce payments available for a company
GET /companies/{companyId}/connections/{connectionId}/data/commerce-payments
A single commerce payment for a given company
GET /companies/{companyId}/connections/{connectionId}/data/commerce-payments/{paymentId}
