Quick Answer
How do you add Payment widgets to the Dashboard?
Open the Dashboard you want to update, click Edit or the pencil icon, choose Add Widget, open the Payments category, select the financial metric you want to track, configure the available filters and chart style, then click Save.
Tracking Revenue and Payments Without Manual Reports
You may be processing payments regularly, but understanding revenue trends, refunds, payment failures, and subscription activity can take extra effort when the data is reviewed manually.
Payment widgets bring financial information into the Dashboard so you can monitor important payment activity from one reporting view.
Depending on your connected payments setup and the widget available, you can track revenue, payment success, refunds, customers, subscriptions, coupons, invoices, and related trends.
A clearer financial snapshot can make it easier to notice issues such as failed payments or refund spikes before they become harder to manage.
Start with growth and friction
The original guide recommends pairing a Total Revenue widget with a Payment Success or similar widget. One helps show financial growth while the other helps reveal payment friction.
Payment Metrics at a Glance
Before You Begin
Decide which financial questions the Dashboard should answer before adding several payment widgets.
- Confirm that your payment setup is connected and supplying the data required by the widgets you want to use.
- Decide which headline revenue metric belongs at the top of the dashboard.
- Identify payment failures, refunds, or subscription activity that should be monitored alongside revenue.
- Choose the reporting period you need, such as the last 7 days, last 30 days, or the current quarter.
- Decide whether payment method, status, product, or subscription filters are needed.
- Keep the initial financial dashboard focused on metrics you will actually review.
What Payment Widgets Help You Track
Payment widgets can provide several different views of financial activity depending on your connected payment setup and available widget options.
Total Revenue
Use a revenue widget for a high-level snapshot of financial performance, including monthly revenue where supported.
Revenue Trends
Monitor changes in recurring, one-time, monthly, or other available revenue categories over time.
Customer and Payment Success Metrics
Track paying-customer trends and payment success to understand how smoothly transactions are being completed.
Refund Monitoring
Review refund amounts and changes in refund activity over time.
Revenue Breakdown
Analyze revenue by channel, product, subscription, or other available dimensions where supported.
Coupon and Invoice Trends
Monitor coupon redemptions and invoicing performance when those metrics are available in your payment reporting setup.
Organize financial reporting by importance
The original guide recommends placing headline widgets such as Total Revenue or Recurring Revenue at the top, then placing supporting metrics such as Refunds, Failures, and Coupons underneath.

Payment Method
Narrow the data by payment method when that filter is supported by the selected widget.

Using Payment Widgets to Monitor Financial Health
Investigate refund spikes instead of treating them as isolated numbers
