Exporting Distributions lets you access information that is not present in the dashboard by default, such as additional columns and filtering by specific date ranges. You can export Distributions to your local computer in the form of a CSV file to use in Excel or any other spreadsheet software.

You can learn details about what each column means, here.

To export Distributions, start by navigating to the Distributions dashboard on your Violet dashboard, as seen below:

Next, click the “Export” button in the top right hand corner. This will open up the following modal:

Now select a date range for which you want to export Distributions and click “Next”:

If you are trying to reconcile payouts to your bank account with this data, we recommend exporting plus and minus 5 business days. This is because payouts are automatically handled by Stripe and the date of the Distribution (i.e. date of the Order) could be different to the date of the payout.

Here you can either export all columns for your date range, or select specific columns as seen below:

Now you can “Export”. Once you’ve clicked export, Violet will start generating this file. Since data can span over many months, this file generation can take more than a few minutes. You can wait on the same screen, or click “Notify me” to receive a notification in the notification center once export is complete.

If you’ve waited on the screen, you can click “Download” once the export is ready.

If you chose to receive a notification, you can Download the file directly from the notification.
