⚠️ The pawaPay Dashboard Docs have moved home ⚠️

Visit our new and improved Docs Hub here: docs.pawapay.io, and learn about ‘Statements' here.


You always have access to a full financial statement for each of your wallets to be able to audit and reconcile your balance on our platform.

Search statements

To see every single transaction on your wallet, please start by choosing:

  • the time period
  • a wallet

Pressing "Show" will display a table with the transaction on this wallet, for the selected period. You can also limit the results to specific Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) or transaction types.

Please note!
  • You can choose up to a one month period at a time.
  • When viewing statements in the dashboard, a maximum of 10 000 transactions are displayed.

By default results are shown starting from the most recent transaction. You change the order by pressing on the respective column in the header of the table.

Export statements

After having selected the wallet and time period you are interest in, you can press on the "Export statement" button to generate a CSV file with the results. 

You will be asked to confirm this action and then taken to the History page to download the resulting CSV file.

Please note!
  • You can choose up to a one month period at a time.
  • All transactions for the period will be exported (no 10 000 transaction limit).
  • The export might take some time to generate. The History page will refresh itself automatically to show the latest status.
