# Commission Rate Log

Channels can view historical commission rate changes for each of their apps in the channel dashboard. This log includes:

* Date and time of each change
* Merchant ID of the affected Merchant
* Merchant name of the affected Merchant
* Previous and new commission rates
* Entity responsible for the change

{% hint style="info" %}
Commission rate changes are logged for transparency and auditing purposes. Merchants can also see when rates were last updated and by which app.
{% endhint %}

Dashboard users have the additional ability to export this change log as a CSV file for their own analysis and record-keeping. See the [channel dashboard guide](/resources/channel-dashboard.md#commission-rates) for more details.

Merchant users have an analogous view of their commission rate changes in the merchant dashboard, which reports the same information but includes the apps they are connected to. See the [merchant dashboard guide](/resources/merchant-dashboard.md#commission-rates) for more details.
