How do I export my full Amazon transaction history?
For 24+ months of transaction history, use the SP-API Reports endpoint or a connected tool that pulls historically. Seller Central console limits reports to 60 to 90 days depending on the report type. Nova connects via SP-API and can backfill up to 15 months of PPC history and 24 months of order and settlement data.
What the console gives you
Payment reports: 90 days. Business reports: 60 days. Advertising reports: varies by report type, often 60 to 90 days. Anything older needs SP-API access or a tool that pulled the data when it was still available.
SP-API for historical pulls
The Reports API lets you request historical reports (Get Report Types documentation lists availability windows). Some reports only backfill from the moment of first API access, so connecting a tool earlier preserves more history.
Nova's coverage
Nova pulls 15 months of product-level PPC history, 24 months of orders and settlements, and near-real-time updates on connected accounts. Once connected, history grows month by month.
Frequently asked questions
Can I export unlimited history from Seller Central?
No. The console caps most reports at 60 to 90 days.
Does SP-API backfill retroactively?
Some reports backfill; some (like search term reports) only start once the connection is active.
Do I need developer access?
Not if you use a connected tool. Direct SP-API access requires developer registration.
How does Nova preserve history?
Nova stores every pull, so historical trend analysis works even after Amazon rotates data out of the console.

Where do I find the Amazon settlement report?
Amazon settlement reports live in Seller Central under Reports > Payments > All Statements. Each report covers one settlement period (usually 14 days) and lists every transaction that affected the payout: orders, refunds, fees, adjustments, service fees, and reserves. Download as CSV or the flat file to reconcile.
How do I reconcile Amazon payouts?
To reconcile a payout: download the settlement report for the matching period, sum every credit (orders, reimbursements) and every debit (refunds, fees, service charges, reserves). The net should equal the amount deposited. If it does not, the delta is usually a reserve, unshipped hold, or currency conversion adjustment.
How do I track profit at the SKU level on Amazon?
SKU-level profit requires matching every revenue and cost line to the SKU that generated it. That means pulling settlement reports, product-level ad spend, refunds, storage allocation, and COGS, then attributing each. Doing this manually in Excel takes 4 to 8 hours per month per account; automated tools reduce it to a dashboard view.
Business Reports vs Brand Analytics: what is the difference?
Business Reports (in Seller Central) show your own sales, sessions, conversion, and units per ASIN. Brand Analytics (Brand Registry required) shows aggregate marketplace data: search terms shoppers use, market basket, repeat purchase behaviour, and competitor benchmarks in your category. Use both; they answer different questions.
How do I track 15 months of Amazon PPC history?
Amazon's advertising console shows the last 60 to 90 days of most reports. For 15 months of PPC history, you need either raw SP-API pulls stored as they were generated, or a tool that connected early and archived the data. Nova retains 15 months of product-level PPC spend for connected accounts.
