Run a tips report
A tips report shows you information about all tips applied to in-person transactions through GoDaddy Payments during the reporting period. You can generate a tips report through the Dashboard in your web browser or on your GoDaddy smart terminal.
Tips reports include a summary of all tips by payment method, and a breakdown of all tips by store location, payment channel, employee that processed the transaction and POS device where the transaction was processed.
- Go to the Dashboard where you manage your GoDaddy Payments account (use your GoDaddy username and password).
- Select Reports.
- If prompted, select Tips Report under Payments.
- In the Type dropdown menu, select Tips report.
- In the To and From fields, specify the date range for the report.
- Select Generate to pull your report. (This can take a few minutes.)
- You'll receive an email notification when the report is ready. Select the link in the email to return to Reports. The report will appear below your filter selections.
- Select the report to review a summary and breakdown of transactions during the selected time period. You can also adjust the report format, depending on how you want to use the data:
- To download the report in Excel, select Excel. You can filter the report data in Excel by different variables (for example, orders processed by a specific employee).
- To download the report in PDF format, select PDF (if available).
- Use the filters above the report list to locate a previously generated report based on the report type, employee who ran the report and/or the date the report was generated.

Note: Reports created on the smart terminal will also display in your web browser Dashboard under Reports. Access them in your web browser to download a PDF or Excel version of the report.
The tips report includes an overall summary of the tip amount by payment method at the top, followed by a breakdown of tips received by store location, payment channel, employee and POS device where the transaction was processed.
When the report is exported to Excel, each section displays as a tab in the Excel sheet.
