How to read your monthly statement in Cloudbeds Payments

Understanding your monthly statement is crucial for effective financial management. Your Cloudbeds Payments statement provides a clear overview of transactions, fees, and payouts. Here's a detailed guide to help you interpret it, whether you’re on the Blended Rate or IC+ pricing models.

Monthly Statement: Blended Rate Version

The monthly statement for properties using the Blended Rate model consists of three key sections:

1. Summary by Card Type

This section provides a detailed breakdown of all transactions processed during the month, regardless of whether they were included in a payout.

  • Reconciliation Tip: Match these transactions with your Payment Processing Report using the filters:
    • Status: ‘Successful’
    • Payment Type: ‘Gateway Payment’ & ‘Gateway Refund’
  • Learn how to access the Payment Processing Report here.

2. Amount Funded by Payout

This section lists all deposits (payout batches) sent to your bank account.

  • Key Note: A deposit may include transactions from a previous month, meaning the amounts might differ from the "Summary by Card Type."
  • For a detailed breakdown, refer to the Payout Report, available for download.
.

3. Adjustments/Chargebacks

This section logs all adjustments to payouts, including:

  • Chargebacks: Disputed charges.
  • Manual Corrections: Adjustments are entered manually to rectify errors.
  • Important: These amounts are already deducted from the totals in the "Amount Funded by Payout" section.

    CBP Fee Assessment

    This subsection outlines additional fees associated with your transactions:

    • Void Fee: Charged for processing an authorization and then voiding it.
    • Refund Fee: Charged for processing a refund.
    • Chargeback Fee: Charged for managing chargebacks.
    • Failed Transaction Fee: Charged to cover processing costs for failed transactions.
    • Adjustment: Corrections to previous transactions.
    • Manual Correction: Adjustments to fix errors manually.

Monthly Statement: IC+ Version

IC+ or IC++ (Interchange plus) model, or Cost+, is an alternative to blended rate pricing, offering an added layer of transparency. The monthly statement for properties using the IC+ (Interchange Plus) pricing model contains six key sections:

1. Summary by Card Type

A breakdown of all transactions processed during the statement period, regardless of payout status.

2. Fee Summary

This section details the fees incurred during the month:

  • Pass-thru Fees: Costs from credit card networks and card brands.
  • Cloudbeds Facilitation Fees: Fees for facilitating payments and ongoing development of new features.
  • Fees Subtotal: The combined total of Pass-thru Fees and Facilitation Fees.
  • Fees Paid: Total fees deducted from transactions processed during the month.
  • Fees Owed: The difference between the Fees Subtotal and Fees Paid.
    • Positive Balance: Deducted from next month’s statement.
    • Negative Balance: Credited on next month’s statement.

3. Amount Funded by Payout

A detailed list of all deposits sent to your bank account.

  • Note: Deposits may include transactions from different months, causing variations with the "Summary by Card Type."
  • Download the complete breakdown in your Payout Report.

4. Adjustments/Chargebacks

Any adjustments on any of the payouts received will be logged in the Adjustments/Chargeback section of your statement.


Important: These adjustments are already factored into the "Amount Funded by Payout" totals.

CBP Fee Assessment

The same fee structure applies here as in the Blended Rate model:

  • Void Fee
  • Refund Fee
  • Adjustment
  • Manual Correction

CBP Fee Assessment - Cost+

This fee reflects the balance from the previous month’s statement in the "Fee Summary."

5. Pass-through Fees

These are the monthly fees incurred from card networks and brands.

6. Cloudbeds Facilitation Fees

These fees are the processing fees charged by Cloudbeds and Pass-thru Fees. They are summarized in the Fee Summary section for easy tracking. This number matches the gross sales amount under the 'Summary by Card Type Section.'
