First, head to the login page to log in to your online Business Portal. Your login details are the ones you created when you signed up with Yoco.

Make your receipts your own by adding your contact details, slogan, trading hours, social media handles, logo, and more - here's how:

Log in to your Business Portal and select Business Settings. Here, you can edit or update your trading name, VAT number, default VAT % charge, phone number, and trading address.

​

Find and select Receipt Configuration on the left hand menu.

You can customise and use whichever of these options suits your needs - they're all optional extras to help you take advantage of the free advertising space and professional edge.

Make sure you're happy by taking a look at the final product!

Now that your receipt is customised, and looking pretty good, it's time to start sending them out to customers!

You can see all your business's combined Yoco sales and manage your sales further from your sales history.

​You can see the same summary of your sales history here.

You'll get a breakdown of your sales by day (and time), with a summary of total sales and tips for each day.
​

If you're struggling to spot the sale you're looking for just by scrolling through your Sales History, no sweat - we've got you covered with all the filters you could need to zero in on it.

You can search for a sale by date, amount, receipt number, bill number, or sales note details here.

Here, you can also filter your search by payment type, payment status, device (which card machine the sale was made on), and date (range).

You can view and download all your monthly invoices and payout reports from the Portal here.

From here, you can see your next payout balance, and view all your payouts by date.

We'll also email you a monthly statement with all your payouts, fees, and transactions recorded for your reports and reference.

Custom payment methods allow your business to keep track of the multiple ways to pay for goods, products or services. Whether you accept EFTs, SnapScan or Gift Vouchers, you can add these payment methods to bring better control to the money moving through your business.

IMPORTANT: Only the default Card payment method will process card transactions with your Yoco card reader. Any custom payment methods won't be authorised and processed through Yoco, but rather just recorded in your Yoco app sales history.

Please note that adding a custom payment method is purely there to keep a record of these types of sales. When making a sale and selecting any of your custom payment methods (e.g. SnapScan from the example above), the payment won't be processed or authorised through Yoco or any other platform, but rather a record of this sale will be created and available in your sales history.

Once you've set up all your custom payment methods, you can easily edit them, or even delete them. Here's how:

Balance: Your balance includes all the Yoco card payments you've made (minus fees and any refunds, reversals and capital repayments (if applicable) since the last time a payout was processed for your profile. Find out more here.

Recent transactions: Get a quick snapshot of your recent sales, and click on "View History" for more details.

Yesterday: Shows yesterday's sales compared to the day before.

Today: Shows today's sales compared to yesterday.

Together, these give you instant feedback on the immediate health of your sales and can help you spot the beginning of an up or downturn, fast.

Last 7 days: Compares the total sales of the last 7 days (including today), with the previous 7 days.

How are things looking this week? Can any difference in performance from last week be explained by something like pay-day week or a school holiday? Perhaps you tried something new or launched a special?

Last 30 days: Compares the total sales of the last 30 days (including today), with the previous 30 days.

Looking at a slightly longer view of your performance, can you spot any larger currents? Was there a change of seasons? Many public holidays? Have you been more active online or started advertising?

Total sales: This shows how many customers you served (more or less) over each time period. It's a good indicator for how 'busy' you were.

* If it's too low, you may want to look into boosting your marketing to attract more widely.

Average sale amount: This tells you how much your customers are buying (often called 'basket size'). It's a good indicator for how much your customers tend to spend.

* If it's low, think of ways to increase the average 'basket' - can you offer tantalising add-ons, complementary products/services, or increase some prices?

Transaction graph: Hover your mouse over the graph line to see the sales totals for each hour or day.

* Can you spot common busy or slow times of the day or week? To keep growing your business, how can you focus on increasing the average sale amount (buy more) during your busier times, and increasing the number of sales (more customers) during your slower times?

The Portal Payments tab shows your total 'Sales' for the dates you've selected, by payment type (card, cash, or refund).
​

For each payment type, you'll also get:

From the Portal Payouts tab, you'll see your payouts for the date range you've selected. Click on the calendar icon to choose which dates you'd like to look at.

💡 Click on a payout to view or export your reports, anytime.
