Affiliate sales report

Sales made through affiliates are centralized for the Affiliates Sales Report, along with sales made through cross-selling campaigns. Cross-selling involves recommending additional products right in the shopping cart, either more items from you or offerings from third-party vendors inside the Avangate network (network cross-selling).

The results listed in the Affiliates Sales Report can be filtered by affiliate and product, but searches performed could also involve parameters as specific offerings and custom time intervals. The Affiliates Sales Report provides a rundown of all affiliate sales per day, enabling the analysis of data in great detail.

Here's a list with all the details provided by the Affiliates Sales Report:

  • CTs (Clickthroughs) - unique clicks sent by affiliates
  • Complete Orders - Complete orders where the affiliate receives a credit
  • ConvR (Conversion ratio) - percent of successful sold products from all affiliate referred products (Products / CTs)
  • Total - Total amount of sold products referred by affiliates (no VAT included, commissions not excluded)
  • Refunds - Total amount of refunded products where the affiliate will be debited (no VAT included, commissions not excluded)
  • ComR - Average affiliate(s) commission percent for the referred sales (CommA/Total)
  • EUR/CT - Average order amount for every referred click (Total/CTs)
  • CommA - Affiliate(s) commission for the referred sales
  • EPC - Earnings per Click

The report uses the currency exchange rate from the day when orders were paid. Note: The data may differ from the Avangate Sales Report which employs a monthly average currency exchange rate.

Account balance report

Overview

Account Balance shows estimates of the revenue earned during the current payout interval calculated from the last payment made by 2Checkout and up to the day when it's generated. The report is calculated only for complete orders from the last payment report date, and refunds, shipping costs (if they exist), as well as taxes, are also included. All data is displayed in accordance with the currencies the orders were paid for, no conversions are made.

SaaS dashboard metrics

Overview

The 2Checkout SaaS dashboard provides insight into your subscription business, revealing valuable information on how the customer base evolves. This includes new customers, the number of total active and past-due subscriptions, number of trials, and conversions to paid services. These new metrics will help you make informed decisions that will drive further growth across your customer base.

Requirements

Your account needs to be equipped to sell subscriptions.

Please contact 2Checkout to access the SaaS dashboard functionality.

Report time span

The report spans either:

  • the last week (7 days), counting from the day preceding the day when it's generated. Data in this interval of time is compared to the previous week (7 days). For example, if the report is generated on June 28, 2013, the weekly overview covers Jun 21, 2013 - Jun 27, 2013, and the comparison period is Jun 14, 2013 - Jun 20, 2013.
  • the last month, counting from the day preceding the day when it's generated. Data in this interval of time is compared to the previous month. For example, if the report is generated on June 28, 2013, the monthly overview covers May 29, 2013 - Jun 27, 2013, and the comparison period Apr 29, 2013 - May 28, 2013.

The SaaS dashboard time zone is (GMT+02:00) Athens, Bucharest, Istanbul.

Data is updated daily.

SaaS dashboard metrics

Customers

New paying

The number of new active customers created in the 2Checkout system during the report interval. Active customers have at least one active or a past-due subscription. Customers owning only active trials, but no active subscriptions, are not taken into account.

The percentage reflects the comparison of the number of new customers in the latest report interval vs. that of the previous interval. If a new customer becomes inactive during the report interval, it will be counted both under New paying and Canceled.

Canceled

The number of customers who have become inactive during the report interval (all their active or past due subscriptions have expired or were canceled). Customers for which all subscriptions have been moved under other customer entities in the 2Checkout system are considered Canceled.

The percentage reflects the comparison of the number of canceled customers in the latest report interval vs. that of the previous interval. If a new customer becomes inactive during the report interval, it will be counted both under New paying and Canceled.

 

Subscriptions

Total active

The total volume of active subscriptions and trials reported for the day preceding the day when the report is generated. The number is a snapshot of all active subscriptions the day prior to the creation of this report.

Total past due

The total number of subscriptions that are in the grace period (Past Due status), namely have passed their renewal deadline but are not expired, for your account the day prior to when the report is generated. The number is a snapshot of all Past due subscriptions the day prior to the creation of this report.

New trials

The total number of active trial subscriptions started in the 2Checkout system during the report interval. The percentage reflects the comparison of the number of new trials in the latest report interval vs. that of the previous interval. (Available only of your account uses trials). If a new trial is converted during the report interval, it will be counted both under New trials and Converted trials.

Converted trials

The total number of subscriptions that were converted from trials to paying products during the report interval. The volume of converted trials reported does not subtract eventual refunds. (Available only of your account uses trials). If a new trial is converted during the report interval, it will be counted both under New trials and Converted trials.

Note: In some scenarios, the same customer and trials can be counted multiple times by the report, which is designed to take into account customer and subscription status. For example:

  • Customer A owns Subscription A. If during Jun 21, 2013 - Jun 27, 2013, Customer A that was originally active becomes inactive, Subscription A is not renewed and expires. If it's then manually re-activated by you, this will also reactivate the customer, so Customer A will be counted twice for New paying and once for Canceled.
  • Customer A owns Trial A (the evaluation version of Subscription A). If during Jun 21, 2013 - Jun 27, 2013, Trial A is converted to the full paid Subscription A, then Trial A will be counted both as a New trial and a Converted trial.

Authorizations report

Overview

Use the Authorizations report to get an overview of the 2Checkout automatic recurring backend operations. Monitor payment authorization rates for new acquisitions, manual and automatic renewal of subscriptions, trial conversions, and for the 2Checkout revenue recovery tools. 

You can access the Authorization Report section from your Merchant Control Panel by navigating to Dashboard → Reports center → Authorization report.

Availability

The authorization report functionality is available on all 2Checkout accounts.

Pre-authorization process

2Checkout pre-authorizes credit/debit cards and PayPal accounts using minimum amounts such as $1.00 / 1.00 EUR to enable customers access to free trials and to fulfill free orders (with 100% discounts and those with 0 prices set using "on the fly pricing"). This is a common industry-wide practice for e-commerce companies. Pre-authorizations are designed to ensure that credit/debit cards and PayPal accounts (the credit/debit cards associated with PayPal accounts) are valid and that the necessary funds exist to charge customers for trial conversions and subscription renewals. In addition, pre-authorization also acts as an anti-fraud protection mechanism.

Authorization requests between the 2Checkout system and the payment gateway or PayPal used to validate your card information do not result in money being withdrawn from customer accounts.

Report settings

You can control the data included in the report by changing the different report settings and selecting specific filters, as shown in this image. 

authorization_report_overview.png

Order type Set-Up

This report selection has 3 filters and allows you to identify/search authorization attempts based on their source (where the order originated): 

  • The new acquisition filter refers to the acquisition of new subscriptions 
  • The manual renewals filter refers to the renewal of existing subscriptions for which your customers have chosen to personally perform the renewal 
  • The auto-renewals filter refers to the renewal of existing subscriptions which your customers chose to automatically renew via the 2Checkout automated billing system. This includes Trial subscriptions which were renewed as paid subscriptions.

The Order Type filter is only available as part of the 2Recover add-on. If this add-on is not enabled for your account, the default setting for the Order Type selection is “Auto-renewals”.

reports.png

Payment method Set-Up 

The payment method selection allows you to filter the data displayed in the report based on the payment method used for the authorization: PayPal or Credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, etc.

In addition to filtering the data displayed in the report, this selection will also impact the layout of the Authorization overview section.

The report centralizes data only for subscriptions purchased using credit cards or PayPal.

auth_report_payment_method.png

Select Interval Set-Up

This setting allows you to select the time period you want to display in your report, as follows: 

  • For the new acquisition order type, data is filtered based on the date when the acquisition was made by your customer 
  • For the manual renewals order type, data is filtered based on the date the renewal was attempted by your customer, and as such will only show subscriptions where the renewal was attempted 
  • For the auto-renewals order type, using the “Report authorization data based on” option, you have the option to further refine the data based on: 
    • The date when the subscription has expired or 
    • The date when the renewal attempt was made (f the End date of the interval includes the current day, the report will show events that have already happened earlier in the day, and events that are scheduled to happen by the end of the day).  

Data displayed in the report is based on the Report time zone specified at the top of the report.  

authorization_report_time_interval.png

Product Set-Up

This selection allows you to filter the data displayed based on the product the subscriptions are for. For ease of use, you can perform the search by Product Name or Product Code, and you can also select one, several, or all products in your catalog.  

authorization_report_product.png

Include Hard Declines Set-Up 

Hard declines are authorization failures that can happen due to stolen or lost cards, invalid credit card data, or account closure. Due to the nature of these errors, further authorization attempts will not be retried.  

Enabling the Include hard declines checkbox allows you to include in your report data on authorization attempts that resulted in hard declines.

FAQs

1. How can I see future scheduled authorization events?

When you include Today as the Auth attempt interval, the report shows data on subscriptions with authorization and retention events that:

  • Happened earlier in the day when you generate the report.
  • And those scheduled events by day's end (in the selected time zone for the report). Selecting Today as the Auth attempt interval triggers the report to display the data including authorizations scheduled until 11:59 PM in the time zone you choose.

2. What happens when I select a specific product or a group of products?

2Checkout displays only data for subscriptions generated for that/those product(s) with authorization and retention events in the selected Auth attempt interval.

3. What are hard declines?

Hard charge declines happen when the customer's bank, financial institution, or card issuer declines a transaction initiated with a credit or debit card. Reasons vary, but can include:

  • Card activity limit exceeded
  • Incorrect card details, such as the card number, expiration date, or the CVV
  • Processing failures due to the system, technical or infrastructure issues

2Checkout manages hard declines in line with industry practices, as permanent authorization failures, that cannot be recovered, regardless of the retry strategy employed. In hard decline scenarios, 2Checkout recommends that customers be contacted through alternate retention channels and asked to provide alternative payment methods. Hard decline reasons include:

  • Stolen or lost cards
  • Invalid credit card data

4. What happens to subscriptions for which a card charge resulted in a hard decline?

The 2Checkout system no longer attempts authorizations for subscriptions for which the initial card charge results in a hard decline. Unless you target the customers with your own retention strategies, such subscriptions expire. Please note that you can export a CSV (comma-separated value) file with details on recurring payment authorization attempts for your company's subscriptions.

5. What are the best practices around authorization retries?

The best practices around retrying authorizations for card charge declines revolve around the type of decline:

  • Soft decline - card decline is a temporary issue, there's a high probability that a subsequent try would be successful.
  • Hard decline - decline is permanent and no amount of retries would change that. The best course of action is to reach out to customers and ask for alternative payment methods.

6. What are soft declines?

2Checkout retries all transactions with authorization failures accompanied by soft decline messages from payment processors, because there's a high probability that subsequent authorizations will be successful. 2Checkout recommends that you adapt the number of retries and retention strategies to your business and customer base, and can provide guidance on optimizing conversion rates. Soft decline reasons include:

  • Insufficient funds
  • Card activity limit exceeded
  • Processing failures due to the system, technical or infrastructure issues
  • Expired cards

7. What happens to subscriptions for which a card charge resulted in a soft decline?

2Checkout retries authorizations per your account's retention capabilities, which can include:

  • Basic Retry Logic - two renewal authorizations designed to recover expired subscriptions for which the renewal process has failed.
  • Advanced retry logic - multiple renewal authorizations beyond those of Basic Retry Logic.
  • Account Updater - a key customer retention tool designed to support seamless updates of credit/debit card account information.
  • 2Checkout updater - 2Checkout expiration date updater, a retention tool supporting authorization retries based on a custom card expiration date algorithm.

8. What is an "attempt"?

Attempt = the authorization attempt count for each subscription.

9. What does renewal mean?

Renewal = the first recurring payment authorization attempt made for a subscription in a billing cycle.

10. What is a retry?

Retry = any authorization attempt made for a subscription in a billing cycle after the initial Renewal try.

11. What exchange rate does 2Checkout use?

2Checkout uses currency exchange rates from the day when customers paid the orders and all aggregated amounts are estimated.
