What is a Payment Summary Report? (multi currency)

A payment summary is a statement that summarizes types of payments for a customer for a given period. It allows you to give the customer a quick view of their current payment activity without having to sort through multiple payments.

What is the Multi-Currency Feature?

The multi-currency feature allows you to set the currency for each payment summary, so that all payments will be displayed in the designated currency. This is especially useful for international customers who want to be sure all of their payments are in the same currency.

To enable the multi-currency feature, first navigate to Settings and then Payment Summary area of your account and select the "Multi-Currency" option at the top of the page. Once enabled, you can choose a different currency for each payment summary.

What is a Multi Currency Payment Summary Report?

The multi-currency feature of payment summaries provides an easy way to keep track of international payments in the designated currency.

This report will show a summary of the payments made during a specific timeframe, split into the different currencies that payments are accepted in. These payments will be grouped by their type - invoice, direct debit, cash, scheduled, failed, etc.

Why does this Report list other currencies I don't use?

This report will show all currencies available in sheepCRM. If your flock only accepts one currency you can use the standard Payment Summary report below, which works in the same way.

What is a Payment Summary Report? (non multi-currency)

This report will show a summary of the payments made during a specific timeframe, only listing payments made in the default currency used by your flock. These payments will be grouped by their type - invoice, direct debit, cash, scheduled, failed, etc.

Why doesn't this Report list Payments made in other currencies?

If your flock accepts more than one currency you should use the standard Payment Summary (multi-currency) report above, which will split all transactions into different currencies.

What is a Payment List Report?

This report will list every single payment made during a specific timeframe, providing the amount, date, type of payment and the contact record for the payer.

How do I view the contact information associated with a Payment?

What is a Deferred Revenue Report?

This report will show a summary of the advance membership payments expected in a specific timeframe. These payments will be grouped into currencies to help manage international memberships.

What Is Deferred Revenue?

The deferred revenue report is based on the cost amounts within each membership record, equally split over the duration of those membership records set by the start and end dates. This cost is the revenue you expect for those membership plans. Payments received for those memberships have no impact on this report.

Deferred revenue is a liability because it reflects revenue that has not been earned and represents products or services that are owed to a customer. As the product or service is delivered over time, it is recognised proportionally as revenue on the income statement.
