The Transactions report breaks down the transactions for your account. It reports the clicks per URL and the sales resulting from banner clicks. You can expand the report and review more detailed data sorted by Date, Affiliate ID, Referring URLs, or Destination URLs.
Select the account you want to review from the Linked Affiliate drop-down menu. The accounts are the different referrer programs you joined; you receive credit for directing traffic to the Webmaster site(s).
The report can be viewed with or without URL breakdowns. If you would like to list the Referring and Destination URL's select Breakdown by URL's; choosing this option could prolong the report generation.
NOTE: Use short date ranges when Breakdown by URL's is selected because the option could prolong the report retrieval.
Use the calendars to select a Start date and an End date for the report you want to review.
To quickly select a date or date range, use the [Today], [Yesterday], [Payweek], or [Month] link.
Click the Lookup button to display the Transactions report and review your account information.
The Transaction report lists the amounts and counts of trials, single billings, recurring billings, rebills, refunds, and chargebacks for your account. The total amount and count of transactions during the specified time period are displayed and the clicks and sales resulting from consumer clicks are reported.
NOTE: Different items are listed in Breakdown by columns. The first example report allows you to sort and review detailed information by Date and Affiliate Id. To generate the second example report, the Breakdown by URL's option was activated in the selection pane; the Breakdown by column therefore contains two additional items: Referring URL and Destinations URL.

Destination URL - When consumers click banners located on your site, they will be directed to webmaster sites. The destination URLs are sites the consumers can easily reach from your site by clicking on specific banners.
Chargeback - Issued by the credit card firm and identifies the transaction as being invalid, non-collectible, fraudulent, disputed or by other reasons revoked or reversed.
Click - The selection of a banner or link advertisement by a consumer. The impact of Web advertisements are evaluated by how often consumers who see the ad click on it.
Rebill - A recurring sale that has been rebilled at least one time. CCBill will keep rebilling the subscriber until the account is cancelled, or the card is declined, etc.
Referring URL - When consumers click banners, they will be directed to webmaster sites. The referring URLs are addresses of your site(s) where consumers click banners to reach other webmaster's sites.
Refund - A transaction that has been refunded. A refund of subscription at the request of the subscriber through E-mail or phone. The CCBill client can issue refunds as well. A refunded check is very similar to a credit card refund, except the refund is for an on-line check.
URL - The Uniform Resource Locator is an Internet address, e.g., http://www.ccbill.com/signup/, usually consisting of the access protocol (http), the domain name (www.ccbill.com), and optionally the path to a file or resource residing on that server (signup).
