How to Export Transactions from Braintree (2026 Guide)

Follow these steps to export your Braintree transactions as a CSV file. Once exported, you can use any of our converter tools to transform the data for your target system.

Export Steps

1

Log in to the Braintree Control Panel

Open your browser and go to the Braintree Control Panel at braintreegateway.com. Sign in with your Braintree merchant credentials. If you have multiple merchant accounts, select the one you want to export transactions from.

Tip: Make sure your user role has 'View Transactions' and 'Download Transaction Searches' permissions. Ask your account admin if these options are not available.

Navigate to the Transactions section

In the left-hand navigation menu of the Control Panel, click on 'Transactions'. This opens the transaction search interface where you can find, filter, and export your payment records.

3

Set up your search filters

Use the search form to filter transactions by date range, status, amount, payment method, or other criteria. At minimum, set the 'Created At' date range to cover the period you want to export. You can also filter by transaction status (e.g., 'Settled') to focus on completed payments.

Tip: For a complete export of settled transactions, set the status filter to 'Settled' and choose your desired date range. This gives you the cleanest data for accounting purposes.
4

Run the search

Click the 'Search' button to execute your query. Braintree will display matching transactions in a paginated list. Review the results to confirm the filters captured the transactions you need.

5

Download the CSV file

Above the search results, click the 'Download' button and select CSV as the format. Braintree will generate a file containing all matching transactions, not just the current page. The export includes fields like Transaction ID, Order ID, Transaction Type, Status, Amount, Currency, and customer details.

Warning: Braintree limits CSV exports to 40,000 rows. If your search returns more results, narrow your date range and run multiple exports.
6

Verify the exported data

Open the downloaded CSV file in a spreadsheet application. Braintree uses Title Case column headers with spaces (e.g., 'Transaction ID', 'Transaction Status'). Confirm that the row count matches the search result count and that key fields like Amount, Created At, and Settlement Batch ID are correctly populated.

Required Transactions Fields

Field Type Description Example
Transaction ID Text Braintree transaction ID (unique) abc123xyz
Transaction Type Choice Transaction type sale
Transaction Status Choice Transaction status settled
Created At Date/Time Transaction creation timestamp 2025-01-15T10:30:45Z
Amount Currency Transaction amount 149.99

Your Braintree export must include these fields for successful conversion.
