Best Practices & Tips

Considering shopper impact of currency conversions

While transactions are placed in your store’s base currency, you might have your store configured to display product prices in multiple currencies. To account for any differences between the currency conversion rates used to display prices on your website and the rates used by the shopper’s issuing bank, we recommend including a note on your checkout page that informs shoppers of potential price variations. For example: “The price listed is approximate and may vary slightly”.

Payout Reconciliation

To reconcile BlueSnap payouts with Chargebee transactions, check out the Payout Detail report. Use the Invoice ID parameter and cross-reference it with the ID at Gateway value in the Chargebee Transactions report (this can be found through Chargebee Backoffice by navigating to Logs and then the Transactions menu).

Reporting

Use BlueSnap's reporting capabilities to gain a comprehensive understanding of your business through detailed transaction and payout reports, payment conversion reports, and much more. Reports can be viewed right in your Merchant Portal or pulled via the Reporting API to be parsed or pushed to your third-party reporting tools.
