At a glance

Revenue and order-count distribution by payment gateway. Adobe Commerce supports many gateways (Stripe, Braintree, PayPal, Authorize.Net, Adyen, Cybersource, Klarna, plus regional gateways). Adobe-affiliated PayPal Braintree is preferred in Adobe’s recommended commerce stack but most merchants use multiple. The card surfaces concentration risk and routing health.
What it countsSUM(grand_total) and COUNT(orders) grouped by payment method (payment.method field). Also surfaces share % per gateway. Includes net-30 invoice/PO routes for B2B (which appear as “checkmo”, “purchaseorder”, or custom method names).
API fieldextension_attributes.payment_additional_info, payment.method from GET /rest/V1/orders.
VAT / tax treatmentRevenue uses grand_total (tax-inclusive on B2C, often exempt on B2B).
Shipping inclusionIncluded via grand_total.
DiscountsDeducted via grand_total.
Credit Memo refund treatmentNOT subtracted; gross gateway volume.
state machine inclusionAll states except canceled. pending_payment orders are counted by attempted-method (the merchant intent).
pending_payment quirkNet-30 orders appear under “purchaseorder” or merchant-custom invoice method; included. Stuck pending_payment from gateway-callback failures inflate the gateway’s count without confirming captured revenue.
Multi-currency grand_total vs base_grand_totalUses base_grand_total for cross-currency rollup.
Store View scope (store_id)All Store Views; per-Store-View overlays useful when regional gateways differ (UK uses Stripe, US adds Authorize.Net, EU uses Adyen).

Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Adobe Commerce data. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

Worked example

A homewares brand on Adobe Commerce 2.4.6 with US/UK/B2B Store Views. 30-day window ending Monday 4 May 26. Gateway distribution:
MethodOrder countbase_grand_total% of revenue
stripe4,210$456,00044.7%
braintree (PayPal Braintree)1,180$186,00018.2%
paypal_express280$42,0004.1%
purchaseorder (B2B net-30)412$310,00030.4%
checkmo (B2B wire transfer)18$24,0002.4%
authorize_net (US legacy)4$6200.1%
Total6,104$1,018,620100%
What this is telling leadership:
  1. Stripe is the dominant consumer gateway at 44.7% of revenue. Healthy diversification; not a single-point-of-failure.
  2. Braintree (PayPal Braintree) at 18.2% is the secondary consumer gateway. Adobe-recommended; many merchants use Braintree because Adobe’s Magento Marketplace and Adobe Commerce Cloud have first-party Braintree integrations.
  3. Purchaseorder (net-30) at 30.4% revenue from 412 orders averages $750/order. This is the B2B pipeline; cross-check with B2B Revenue Share which also shows ~30% B2B share.
  4. PayPal Express at 4.1% is a meaningful tail; smaller customers who default to PayPal. Often higher-AOV than direct-Stripe shoppers (PayPal-trusting customers tend toward higher trust/higher basket).
  5. Authorize.Net at 0.1% is residual; legacy US wholesale customers grandfathered. Worth migrating to Stripe to consolidate gateway fees.
  6. Concentration risk analysis: top 2 gateways (Stripe + Braintree) = 62.9%. If Stripe had a multi-hour outage, 44.7% of revenue would be at risk; PayPal Braintree could absorb some of that as a fallback. Stripe + Braintree both being down is a real risk; net-30 orders unaffected.
  7. Action items: maintain Stripe + Braintree dual-gateway architecture; migrate Authorize.Net residual to Stripe within Q3 to consolidate fees; ensure net-30 pipeline has its own monitoring (purchaseorder method should not show stuck pending_payment for >30 days).

Reconciling against the vendor’s own dashboard

Where to look in Adobe Commerce Admin:
Reports > Sales > Orders with payment-method group can show per-method totals (Adobe Commerce 2.4.4+).
Sales > Orders with payment-method filter for individual order verification.
Stores > Configuration > Sales > Payment Methods lists all configured methods.
Why our number may legitimately differ from Admin:
ReasonDirection of divergence
Method naming. Card uses payment.method machine name; Admin shows display label. Same data, different label.Cosmetic
Time-zone. Admin in Store View timezone; card UTC.Boundary effects
Currency. Card uses base_grand_total.Material on multi-currency
canceled exclusion. Card excludes; Admin includes unless filtered.Card revenue lower
Multi-Store-View aggregation. Card sums; Admin per-Store-View.Card higher than per-Store-View admin
Cross-connector reconciliation (when these connectors are connected for this merchant):
PairExpected relationshipWhat divergence tells you
stripe.stripe_total_revenueStripe revenue ≈ Adobe stripe-method revenue, sub-second syncMaterial gap means orders captured but not yet indexed in Adobe (pending_payment); replay webhooks.
paypal.pp_total_volumePayPal revenue ≈ Adobe braintree+paypal_express revenueSame as Stripe.
ERP cash-deposit reportsTotal minus net-30 should match bank depositsNet-30 orders pay later; reconcile separately on aging schedule.

Known limitations / merchant FAQs

Why is PayPal Braintree separate from PayPal Express? Braintree is the merchant-of-record platform (Adobe-affiliated); PayPal Express is the legacy PayPal SDK integration. Different code paths, different reporting in Adobe. Treat them as related but distinct gateways. Adobe Commerce vs Magento Open Source: difference? Both editions support all gateways. Adobe Commerce paid edition has tighter Adobe-affiliated PayPal Braintree integration with B2B-specific workflow; Open Source merchants use the same Braintree integration with slightly less B2B-specific UX. My multi-store, can I see per-Store-View gateway breakdown? Yes, configure per-Store-View variants. Useful when regional gateways differ (UK Stripe, US Authorize, EU Adyen). Net-30 (purchaseorder) is showing as 30% of revenue but no money is in the bank, normal? Yes. Net-30 invoices are revenue-recognised at order capture (or invoice issuance, depending on accounting policy) but cash arrives 30+ days later. The card surfaces top-line gateway-routed revenue; for cash analysis cross-check ERP/accounting receivables. Stripe shows different revenue than this card, why? Common causes: (1) pending_payment orders count here but not in Stripe-captured volume; (2) sync lag; (3) currency conversion (Stripe in original currency, card in base); (4) cancelled orders excluded here but Stripe captures show them as charges + refunds. Should I migrate from one gateway to consolidate fees? Generally no. Multi-gateway architecture is resilience: a single Stripe outage hits 100% of revenue if Stripe is the only gateway. Concentration above 70% on one gateway is risky; ideal is 40-60% on primary plus 20-40% on secondary. Why is Authorize.Net only 0.1%? Likely a residual from before a Stripe migration. Most merchants migrate older customers off Authorize.Net for fee consolidation but a long tail of recurring/automated orders may persist. Worth a sunset plan if you’ve already migrated. B2B uses purchaseorder, can I see B2B-only gateway breakdown? Yes, configure to filter the B2B Customer Group or B2B Store View. The breakdown then shows B2B’s actual gateway mix (typically 70-90% purchaseorder, 5-15% Stripe-for-deposit, 5-10% wire transfer).
