Merchant account dashboard and payments view

See a record of transactions into and out of your merchant account on Console.

Before you start: get access to merchant accounts

A merchant account is a real bank account managed by TrueLayer on your behalf.

When you sign up on Console you immediately get access to two merchant accounts in sandbox (one each for EUR and GBP). In production, we can set up one merchant account per currency (EUR and GBP) per client_id.

To use merchant accounts in your live environment, contact Support.

In sandbox, there is an upper limit of 50000 GBP for withdrawals from a merchant account. This limit does not apply to live merchant accounts. Note that no money actually moves when you make a payment to or from a sandbox merchant account.

Your merchant account dashboard

Go to Console > Payments V3 > Merchant Account to see your merchant account dashboard. Here you can see the transaction history of any merchant accounts you own (GBP or EUR).

Toggle between your GBP and EUR merchant accounts by clicking the tiles at the top of the screen.

Historical balances

Click Historical balances for an overview of the total in your balance over the past 7 days or 6 months.

Generate a report of your balances

Generate a CSV report of your historical balance by clicking the Generate Report button to the top right of the screen.

Details

Click the Details tab to see the details of your merchant account, including:

  • merchant account id
  • beneficiary name
  • sort code
  • account number
  • IBAN

You can also see details of your merchant accounts by making requests to our merchant account endpoints.

The payments view

The payments view is a record of all the incoming and outgoing transactions that you have made using TrueLayer APIs. Access it by going to Console > Payments > Payments v3 > Payments.

If you don't have a merchant account, you will only see payments made to external accounts here.
