Dashboard Guide

The PaymentsAI dashboard gives you visibility into your payments, subscriptions, and disputes, and lets you manage your account settings without any technical knowledge.

The top navigation has the following sections, in order: Home, Transactions, Subscriptions, Disputes, Automation Rules, Gateways, Customers, Reports, Blocklists, Settings. The right side shows your organisation switcher and user menu.

Transactions

The Transactions section opens with an overview of four KPI cards:

  • Total balance
  • Gross volume
  • Refunds value
  • Processed payments

Below the KPIs, transactions are grouped by tabs: All, Sales, Refunds, Failures — each with a count badge.

Searching and filtering

  • Search by customer or customer's email address: free-text search at the top of the list.
  • Filters: opens the advanced filter panel.
  • Show test data toggle — switches the list between live and test data.

Subscriptions

The Subscriptions section opens with an overview banner — Enable Subscriptions Dunning — that lets you activate automated retries for failed renewals.

KPI cards above the list:

  • Subscriptions Renewal
  • Trial Conversion Rate
  • Canceled Subscriptions

Subscriptions are grouped by tabs: All, Active, Ended — each with a count badge. Search by product, customer, or customer's email address.

Subscription detail view

Clicking a subscription opens the detail view with a Cancel subscription button in the top-right.

Detail fields: Price, Billing cycle, Subscription ID (ord_...), Subscription status, Renewability, Created, Next charge, End time, plus the linked Customer (Name, Email, Origin).

Below the detail block, two sub-sections:

  • Subscription transactions: table of every transaction belonging to this subscription.
  • Logs: event log for the subscription.

Disputes

The Disputes section lists chargebacks and fraud notifications received on your account.

Disputes are grouped by tabs: All, Response needed, Under review, Forfeited, Won, Lost, Unknown — each with a count badge. Search by Dispute ID at the top of the list.

Disputes list

ColumnWhat it shows

STATUSDispute status pill: Response needed, Under review, Forfeited, Won, Lost, or Unknown
LAST UPDATEDDate of the most recent status change

CATEGORYReason category: Authorization, Consumer disputes, Fraud, Processing errors, or Uncategorized
GATEWAYGateway the disputed transaction ran on
EMAILCardholder email
DISPUTED ONDate the dispute was filed
RESPONDED ONDate a response was submitted (empty if pending)

When there are no disputes, the section shows the empty state No disputes found — No dispute related to Payments AI has been made yet.

Deadlines vary by card network — see Risk and Fraud for the per-network response deadlines.

Important:

Missing a deadline means forfeiting the ability to contest the chargeback. To submit evidence, open the dispute record and upload your supporting documents (invoices, delivery confirmation, communication logs) before the deadline.

Automation Rules

The Automation Rules section is split into two areas using the left sidebar:

  • Gateways: gateway routing rules and the backup gateway
  • Subscriptions: subscription-related automations (for example, dunning)

Automation Rules require Pro Features — see Pricing and Fees.

Automation rules for gateways

Mutually exclusive:

Gateway Routing and Backup Gateway are mutually exclusive. To avoid routing conflicts, select one — you cannot use both at the same time.

Two rules are available on the Gateways tab:

  • Backup gateway: a toggle on/off plus Configure button. Shows the Last update timestamp.
  • Gateways Routing: list of routing rules (count starts at 0). Use Add first rule (or Add rule when rules exist).

Configure Backup gateway

Opens with a sidebar summary block and the rule status (for example, Inactive).

Prerequisite:

To use this feature, you must first connect two payment gateways that support card payments. Set them up in the Gateways section.

The configure form has one block — Set default and backup gateway — with two dropdowns:

  • Default gateway: the gateway used first
  • Backup gateway: the gateway used on the next attempt if the default fails

Actions: Cancel, Save, Save and activate.

Configure Gateways routing

Opens with a sidebar summary block and the rule status (for example, Inactive). Three steps:

  1. Name your Rule — give the rule a unique name (Rule name input).

  2. Set Condition — filter when this rule should run. Click Add first condition (or Add Condition) to add one. Each condition has three parts:

    • Condition field — one of: Transaction billing country, Transaction currency, Customer type, Transaction amount, Product
    • Logic: for example, Is in
    • Values: the values the condition matches against

    If you don't add any conditions, the rule is always triggered. If conditions do not match, the next rule in line is processed.

  3. Set weight for each Gateway — controls which gateway account is selected.

    • Algorithm: Weighted random or Round-robin
    • Weights per gateway: input from 0 to 100 for each connected gateway (for example, Payments AI, Stripe, PayPal, Coinbase, Klarna, NMI). The dashboard shows each gateway's relative share as a bar.

Actions: Cancel, Save, Save and activate.

Automation rules for subscriptions

Subscription automation rules — for example, dunning (automatic retries on failed renewals) — are configured on the Subscriptions tab in the left sidebar.

Gateways

The Gateways tab is where you connect and configure payment gateways for your account. The header notes that the available gateways are selected based on your region, country, and your company's MCC.

Gateways are grouped into a Recommended Gateway card (the PaymentsAI Gateway), and Other Gateways divided into categories such as Card & Wallet and Buy now, pay later.

For each gateway, the dashboard shows the following common fields:

FieldWhat it shows
StatusConnected, Waiting for connection, or Not connected
Additional gateway feeThe PaymentsAI platform fee per transaction (0% for the PaymentsAI Gateway; 1% for every external gateway)
Active CurrenciesThe currencies enabled on this gateway for your account
Payment methodsThe payment methods this gateway can process
ActionConfigure, Connect, or Resume connecting, depending on status

The PaymentsAI Gateway is shown at the top as the recommended option. Typical configuration:

  • Status: Connected once your account is approved
  • Additional gateway fee: 0%
  • Active Currencies: AUD, CAD, CHF, CZK, DKK, EUR, GBP, HKD, HUF, JPY, NOK, PLN, RON, SEK, SGD, USD (16 currencies on a typical account; the exact set depends on your account configuration)
  • Predefined payment gateway: no setup required

The card also lists three platform features:

  • Intelligent Payment Routing: contributes up to 12% increase in sales
  • Real-time fraud detection: prevents fraudulent transactions
  • Automated retries: maximises worldwide customer conversion

Other Gateways

If none of the available gateways suits your needs, use Request a Gateway at the bottom of the section to submit a request.

Card & Wallet:

For per-gateway setup, supported regions, and limitations, see the Gateways section. Platform-fee detail is in Pricing and Fees.

Customers

The Customers section lists every customer record on your account. The header shows the total customer count, and you can toggle Show test data to switch between live and test customers. A free-text Search and the Filters panel let you narrow the list.

Customers list

ColumnWhat it shows

Filters

The Filters panel narrows the customer list by:

  • Lifetime Revenue: total amount processed for the customer.
  • Country: customer billing country.
  • Prim. Payment Instrument: primary payment instrument on the customer record.
  • Last Payment: date of the customer's most recent payment.
  • Created: date the customer record was created.
  • Customer tags: tags set on the customer record.

Each filter defaults to All.

From the customer record you can view attached payment instruments and the transactions or subscriptions belonging to that customer.

Reports

The Reports section has two tabs: PaymentsAI Gateway Reports and Failed Transactions Breakdown.

PaymentsAI Gateway Reports

Export month-by-month CSVs from your gateway. Pick the reports you need and get them as downloads or straight to your email.

Set the Between date range, choose the Receive method (Download files or Send to email), then click Download.

Blocklists

Manage entries that block specific payment instruments, customers, or risk attributes from processing on your account.

The section is organised into seven tabs, one per attribute type:

  • Email Domains: block whole domains
  • IP Address: block by IP
  • BINs: block specific card BINs
  • Customer IDs: block individual customers

Each tab has a search box (for example, "Search by full email"), an All items filter dropdown, and an Add item to list button. When a list is empty the dashboard shows No blocklists found.

Settings

The Settings section has a left sidebar — Organization settings — with six sub-sections:

  • General: organisation information, business address, website
  • Members: team and roles
  • Billing: invoices, Pro feature, payment instruments

Bank whitelisting reminder:

The Billing tab includes a reminder to add PaymentsAI as a trusted recipient on your bank account to minimise the risk of failed PaymentsAI fee collections.

Taxes

The tax features below are available to US merchants only and require Pro Features to be enabled. See Business Decision Matrix — Tax Handling.

  • Customization: brand styling for emails (logo, colour, typography).
  • Notifications: which events trigger an email.
