Shopify Payment Transactions fields in Odoo: what each means and what to check

Where the form is

Payment transaction forms open from the menu Shopify › Finance › Payment Transactions. The module is published on Odoo Apps for Odoo 17, 18, 19 and 20.

What the module needs

The module is a one-off purchase per Odoo version and needs a FlexigoTech Cloud subscription (Connector plan): €49 a month or €490 a year, excluding VAT (the Pro plan costs €98 a month or €980 a year, excluding VAT). The connection goes through FlexigoTech Cloud, which stores the credentials encrypted, monitors synchronisation and emails you if it fails. Without a subscription, or with the service suspended, whatever the subscription provides stops; your data stays in your Odoo.

Before you open the form

• Check that your user has the Viewer permission: both the Shopify and the Finance parts of the menu ask for it, and if you lack it on one, that part is not shown.

• Open Shopify › Finance › Payment Transactions and look at the list before the form: it also shows Kind, Status, Is Shopify Payments, Amount, Payment, Fee Amount and Fee Tax Amount. The fields Amount Presentment and Settlement Rate appear on the form, in the Amounts & Fees group.

Fields at a glance and where they appear

The Transaction group: what to look at

• Kind: the help lists the values SALE, CAPTURE, AUTHORIZATION, REFUND, VOID and CHANGE. Before reading an amount, look at this field to see which of those values the row corresponds to.

• Status: the help lists SUCCESS, PENDING, FAILURE, ERROR and AWAITING_RESPONSE. Compare each row's value with that list, and read the value before interpreting the amount on that row.

• Is Shopify Payments: according to its help, only Shopify Payments exposes fees and payouts in the API. Check it before looking for fees on a row.

• Payment: its help describes it as the Shopify paymentId, a cross-reference to balance transactions and payouts. It is on the form and in the list.

The Amounts & Fees group: what to look at

• Amount: this is the amount in the shop currency, according to its help. It appears on the form and in the list.

• Amount Presentment: this is the amount in the customer (presentment) currency. Open it on the form and put it next to Amount to see both amounts for the same row.

• Settlement Rate: the help says it is the rate applied to settle into the payout currency. Its help describes it separately from Amount Presentment, so review each one on its own.

• Fee Amount: this is the total processing fee, and the help makes clear it applies to Shopify Payments only.

• Fee Tax Amount: this is the VAT charged on the processing fee, where applicable, according to its help. Review it together with Fee Amount.

Cross-check before you finish

• Whenever you look at Fee Amount or Fee Tax Amount on a row, go back to Is Shopify Payments: the help for that field says that only Shopify Payments exposes fees and payouts in the API.

• Note down the Payment value for any rows you need to check outside Odoo.

• For each row you review, keep Kind and Status in view together, with the values their help texts list.
