Which report is best for viewing a monthly balance of funds and transactions?

• A. Activity
• B. Balance
• C. Payouts
• D. Payment Fees

Answer: (B)

To understand how your Stripe balance changes over a month, you want a report that pairs a running balance with the underlying transactions that drive those changes. The Balance report is designed for that: it shows your balance over the chosen period and lists the transactions that affect it, so you can see, month by month, how charges, refunds, transfers, and other balance changes add up. The balance figure reflects what’s available to withdraw and how it fluctuates as activity occurs, giving a clear monthly snapshot. The other reports serve different purposes: the Activity report catalogs all activity but doesn’t present a summarized balance over time; the Payouts report focuses on payout events to your bank; the Payment Fees report shows the fees charged on transactions. For viewing a monthly balance of funds and the transactions that influence it, the Balance report is the best fit.
