"Push reports" is a feature that enables you to automatically receive various transaction reports on a daily basis.
With Push reports you can:
The number of available daily reports depends on the option selected in your account; You can have 3, 5 or 10 daily reports. If you wish to have more than 10 reports, please contact the Nexi Payengine Sales Team for more information.
You can receive push reports for “View transactions”, “Financial history” .
1. Configuration of filename and format
You first need to configure the file format. You can do so via your account's top menu, in the following ways:
- On account (PSPID) level:
- Select "Operations" and choose "Electronic reporting" in the sub-menu. (Note: If you have already created one or more push reports in your account, “Electronic reporting” will show you a list of those reports. To access the “Electronic reporting” configuration page from there, you need to click the “File format” link at the top of the page.)
- Select "Operations" and choose "View transactions", "Financial history" (or "View files") in the sub-menu. Then select "File format".
- On user (USERID) level:
- Select "Configuration" and choose "Users" in the sub-menu. Next, click "Edit" for the specific user. In the User's Data overview, select "Electronic Reporting for this User" at the bottom of the page.
The file structure and format can be defined for each user. When you configure the electronic reporting parameters for a user, this configuration will be applied to all reports set up by this user. Push reports are linked to the user that created them. If a user is deactivated or becomes dormant, the Push Reports will not be sent anymore.
Specific fields will be returned in your report, depending on the file structure. A choice of four different file structures is available: Standard, Extended, File Management and Dynamic. You can also choose between three different return formats: XML, Fixed-length and Delimited (for the full description of the different structures, go to Reporting).
If you configure a file name, you can include dynamic parameters in it:
- [DATE] for processing file previous date
- [FILEDATE] for processing file date
- [TIME] for processing file time.
Example: File[DATE]_[TIME] will be converted to File20140527_160952

You can select three possible media types: “e-mail with attachment”, “e-mail” or “HTTP request”:
- If you select “e-mail with attachment”, the daily report will be sent to you as an email attachment.
- If you select “e-mail”, the content of the daily report will be shown in the body of the email.
> For these two media types, you must enter one or more valid email addresses in the “Destination” field where you would like to receive the emails. - If you select “HTTP request”, you will receive the contents of the daily report in an HTTP request at the URL you enter in the “Destination” field.

"HTTP Request" may contain a maximum of 1500 transactions per day. If you process more, we recommend selecting "email with attachment" or "email" instead. |
