# Searching Payments

**Payments → Search** is the master list of every transaction in the active organization. Use it to locate a specific payment from a customer inquiry, review recent activity, or drill into a transaction before acting on it.

**Requires:** *view payment details*.

### Payments vs. Payouts

Two tabs at the top of the page switch the transaction flow:

| Tab | Flow | Meaning |
| --- | ---- | ------- |
| **Payments** | Pull | Funds collected **from** a customer (card, ACH, etc.) |
| **Payouts** | Push | Funds sent **to** a recipient |

The selected tab is kept in the URL, so a filtered view can be bookmarked or shared with a teammate.

### The Results Table

| Column | Notes |
| ------ | ----- |
| Actions | Eye icon opens [Payment Details](payment-details.md) |
| External ID | Your system's reference — click to copy |
| Requested On | Creation timestamp (in your configured time zone) |
| Amount | Amount and currency |
| Status | Colored status badge |
| Sender Name / Phone / Email | Customer identity fields; email is copyable |
| Card | Masked card number |

Results are paginated at **50 rows per page**, with direct page navigation.

### Filtering

Click **Filters** to open the filter panel, set any combination, and hit **Apply filters** (**Clear all** resets). Filters are encoded in the URL — bookmark or share the link to reproduce the exact search.

| Filter | Type |
| ------ | ---- |
| Amount | Numeric with operators: `>=`, `<=`, `=`, `!=`, `>`, `<` |
| Status | One of `PAID`, `CAPTURED`, `AUTHORIZED`, `REFUNDED`, `PARTIALLY_REFUNDED`, `PARTIALLY_CAPTURED`, `DECLINED`, `PENDING`, `VOIDED`, `CHALLENGE` |
| Period | Date range, with `7d` / `30d` / `60d` / `90d` presets |
| External ID / Payment ID | Exact (`=`) or partial (`like`) match |
| First name / Last name / Email / Phone | Exact or partial match |
| Card BIN | First 6 digits of the card |
| Card last 4 | Last 4 digits of the card |

**Typical lookups:**

* *Customer says they were charged twice* — filter by `Email` or `Card last 4` plus the `Period` preset covering the charge date
* *Find a specific order* — filter `External ID` with `=` and your order reference
* *Review today's declines* — Status `DECLINED` + Period today; for trend analysis use [Declined Payments](../reports/declined-payments.md) instead

> Status meanings and valid transitions are defined in [Payment Status](../../api-references/payments-gateway/apis/domain-tables/payment-status.md).

### Faster: Search from Anywhere

[Quick Search](../quick-search.md) (`⌘K`) understands queries like `declined last 30 days` or `captured > 500` and lands you on this page with the filters pre-applied. Pasting a payment ID opens that payment directly.
