Access the reports

Follow the steps below to access your GuestyPay reports.

Step by step:

  1. Sign in to your Guesty account.
  2. In the top navigation bar, click the mode selector and select Financials mode.
  3. Click Payment processing.
  4. In the "GuestyPay" section, click Payment dashboard.

  6. In the GuestyPay dashboard, click Sub-account reports.
  7. Select Payouts or Payouts reconciliation.
Use the Payouts report

The Payouts report displays the exact amounts sent to your bank account daily. This report focuses on the payout movement rather than individual reservation data.

At the top of the report, use the Select platform account(s) and Select sub-account(s) dropdown menus to filter your data.

Important:

GuestyPay does not issue a payout if you have a negative settlement or no funds available on a specific day. These appear as negative amounts. In rare cases, GuestyPay may withdraw funds from your bank account to cover a negative balance.

Data highlights

The report includes the following details:

  • Payout ID and type

  • Creation and modification dates

  • Payout method (e.g., ACH/wire transfer)

  • Amount and status

  • Sub-account and platform account

Note:

Payouts typically reach your bank account seven days after GuestyPay receives the funds. Processing times vary by bank.

Filter by date range

The Date range view is the default tab in the top-left corner. Use this to filter by "Creation Date" or "Modification Date".

  • Default setting: The report defaults to the Last 2 Days

  • Options: Choose from preset ranges like Today, Last 30 Days, or a Customized Date Range
