Export Steps

1

Log in to the Braintree Control Panel

Open your browser and navigate to the Braintree Control Panel at braintreegateway.com. Sign in with your merchant account credentials. Ensure your user role has the 'View Statements' permission, which is required to access disbursement reports.

2

Navigate to the Reports section

In the left-hand navigation menu, click on 'Reports'. If you do not see the Reports option, your user role may lack the necessary permissions. Contact your account administrator to enable the 'View Statements' role permission.

Warning: If the Reports page is not visible in your navigation bar, your user account does not have the required 'View Statements' role permission.
3

Open the Settlement Batch Summary

Within the Reports section, click on 'Settlement Batch Summary'. This report shows daily settlement totals grouped by card type, along with disbursement dates and amounts that correspond to your bank deposits.

4

Select the date range

Choose the date range for the disbursement data you want to export. The Settlement Batch Summary allows you to view data by day, week, or custom range. The Disbursement Date column shows when funds were actually sent to your bank account.

Tip: Match disbursement dates to your bank statement deposits for easy reconciliation. The Total Disbursed amount should match what appears on your bank statement.
5

Download the CSV file

Click the 'Download .CSV' button at the top of the report. A dialog will prompt you to save the file or open it directly. Choose 'Save' to download the file to your computer. The export includes Disbursement ID, Disbursement Date, Amount, Currency, Merchant Account, and settlement batch references.

6

Verify the disbursement data

Open the CSV file in a spreadsheet application and verify that the disbursement amounts align with your bank deposits. Check the Exception Message and Follow-up Action columns for any failed disbursements that may require attention.

Required Disbursements Fields

Field Type Description Example
Disbursement ID Text Disbursement batch identifier disb_20250116_001
Disbursement Date Date Date of payout 2025-01-16
