Payment Tracking
Ottu dashboard is an intuitive workspace composed of a set of tools, to empower all Ottu clients
to have a proper payment pipeline, create, monitor, and track payments, the dashboard greets clients with analytical information captured from payment workload(s), to give the client an insight about the payment pipeline and how could proceed with next-login.
All transaction history and details are easily accessible for merchants using Ottu's transaction table, which is provided with each plugin installed.
Through the transaction table, users can proceed with payment operations such as void, refund, and capture.
Ottu creates a transaction table for each plugin in order to allow merchant(s) to monitor their transactions.
Ottu offers an amazing method of adding or removing transaction table’s headers, by using this method, the merchant(s) are empowered to find the required information quickly and easily.
Ottu dashboard > administration panel> plugin config (the plugin of the targeted transaction table) >Tick on (Individual proxy fields enabled)
Ottu dashboard > Required Plugin Tab> Setting > Table headers By dragging the required header (right ⇆ left), the merchant(s) can add or remove the header.
Child transactions are those created by subsequent operations (capture, refund, or void).
They should be listed in the transaction table under the main origin payment transaction, which is called parent transaction.
The headers of each child payment transaction are inherited from the headers of the parent payment transaction.
Many headers can be added / removed in transaction tables. See proxy fields
Amount headers are displayed in different titles based on where the header refers to the payment amount in the process flow.
This is the initial amount at the creation of the transaction.
Is the amount with the same currency of the initiating amount,
- For editable amount: It is the amount that the customer enters at the checkout page, If the customer pays the full required amount, it will have the same value as the initiating amount.
It is the amount that is credited to the merchant's bank account.
- For purchase: It is a settled amount after adding the fee.
- For authorize: Is the total amount captured by the staff.
Purchase or authorized is determined in payment gateway setting or configuration.
See PG configuration.
Depending on the selected merchant(s) currency configuration, which is used by the selected PG, fees may be applied or not to the transactions in the default currency or foreign currency.
It is the full transaction amount, which is credited to the customer's bank account, when the transaction rolling back process gets done.
It works only for authorized payment, which is not fully or partially captured.
- Capture, can capture the entire amount, fee + settled amount.
- Refund, can only refund the settled amount, that’s without fee.
- Void, will void the full amount, including the fee.
