Analysis of payments results

As with other payment methods Monetix offers, when using this method, you have several options to analyze the information about payments and operations.

You can load and analyze all the necessary information in Dashboard (dash-light.trxhost.com), for instance you can use the analytic panels in the Analytics section for this purpose.

Also, you can export the information for further analysis by using third party analytical tools. The following options are available:

Dashboard allows you to download reports in CSV format by using the tools in the Reports section. You can perform export as a one-time or regular download of data to your local computer.
Data API allows you to have payment information exported in JSON format and delivered to a URL you specify. The payment information is exported by means of sending requests to the /operations/get endpoint.

If you have any further questions regarding payment data analysis, contact Monetix technical support.
