How It Works
Prism is a read-only analytics workspace inside the PayMongo Dashboard. It exposes a curated, analytics-friendly view of your data so you can answer questions with SQL.
Key Concepts
- Read-only: Queries never modify operational data.
- Scoped access: Results include only your organization’s data.
- Curated schema: Tables reflect common analytics needs, such as payments, refunds, customers, payouts, disputes, and balance transactions.
- Templates: Prebuilt queries help you get started quickly and can be customized.
What Data Is Included
- Payments: One row per successfully processed charge; includes amounts, status, method type, timestamps, and customer linkage.
- Refunds: One row per refund; linked to original payments.
- Payouts: Disbursements to your bank account, with status and arrival times.
- Balance transactions: Ledger of changes to your available balance (amount, fee, net, type, available_on).
- Customers: Basic customer profile fields used for reporting.
- Disputes: Dispute/chargeback records, when available.
Availability of fields can vary by integration and plan. Use the schema browser for the most accurate, up-to-date view.
Data Freshness
- Most tables update within minutes of new activity.
- Reconciliation-heavy tables (for example, disputes) may appear later.
- The editor displays table-level freshness so you can see when a dataset was last updated.
Security & Privacy
- Organization-level isolation prevents cross-tenant access.
- Sensitive fields may be masked depending on plan and policy.
- Access and actions in Prism are audited for safety and compliance.
Plans & Limits (Overview)
- Interactive queries have runtime, row/size, and concurrency limits to keep the system fast for everyone.
- Exact limits depend on your plan and may change over time.
