# Understanding Trip-Level Reporting in YouLi

## There are many ways to extract data and run reports in YouLi. This guide gives you a clear overview of the main reporting options available at the trip level.

### 📊 Trip CRM & Reports

#### Flexible Reports for Travelers, Tasks, and Add-ons

To access Trip-Level reports:

1. Go to your **Trip Dashboard**
2. Open your **Trip**
3. Navigate to **Trip Menu → Trip CRM & Reports**

From here, you can generate two powerful report types:

![](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-02-13%20at%2011-24-55%E2%80%AFam-png.png?width=600&height=383&name=Screenshot%202026-02-13%20at%2011-24-55%E2%80%AFam-png.png)

#### 1. One Row Per Person

Best for analyzing individual travelers.

Includes:

- Traveler details
- Task responses
- Add-on selections

Use this when you want a **detailed, per-person view** of your trip data.

#### 2. One Row Per Invitation Group

Best for group-level insights (e.g. families, schools, or organizations).

Includes:

- Group-level information
- Invoice summaries
- Payment breakdowns

Use this for:

- Rooming lists
- Group billing
- School or organization-based travel

### 💳 Trip Payments Report

#### Track Payments for a Specific Trip

Need to see all payments for a trip?

Go to:  
**Trip Menu → Manage Payments → Payments**

The **Trip Payments Report** shows:

- Payments received

- Refunds
- Traveler balances

### Exporting Payment Data

### Understanding Trip Level Payment Breakdown & Net Amount

You might notice that the **Net amount** inside YouLi does not perfectly match the final payout amount shown in your Stripe dashboard.

#### The Purpose of the Surcharge [Learn more about Surcharge](https://support.youli.io/360001218676-payments-credit-card-surcharge?hsLang=en)

The credit card surcharge is an optional fee passed directly onto the traveler during checkout. Its primary purpose is to completely offset and cover your payment processing costs, specifically the Stripe processing fee and the YouLi application fee.

By enabling a surcharge, you ensure that the traveler absorbs these transactional expenses, protecting your original package price and ensuring your business does not lose revenue to platform and merchant fees.

#### Why does the YouLi Net Amount look different from Stripe?

Simply put, **YouLi and Stripe view transactions from two different angles**:

- **Stripe** focuses purely on total cash flow (Gross Amount minus Total Fees = Your Payout).
- **YouLi** is a travel management platform designed to help you reconcile trip values, vendor costs, and profit margins. Therefore, YouLi strips away *all* transactional variables—including credit card surcharges—to give you the "pure value" of the booking itself.

#### Breaking Down the Formula

##### How YouLi calculates the final Net row in your breakdown:

> **YouLi Net = Total Paid by Traveler** - **Stripe Fee** - **YouLi Fee** - **Surcharge.**

**Example Scenario:**

**![](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-05-21%20at%2012-12-56%E2%80%AFpm-png.png?width=670&height=228&name=Screenshot%202026-05-21%20at%2012-12-56%E2%80%AFpm-png.png)**

- Total Paid by Traveler (Gross): 438.84
- Stripe Processing Fee: -13.03
- YouLi Application Fee: -4.38
- Credit Card Surcharge (Passed to Traveler): -14.84

The YouLi Calculation: 438.84 minus 13.03 minus 4.38 minus 14.84 = **406.59**.

In YouLi, 406.59 is recorded as the net revenue generated by the tour package itself.

##### The Stripe Calculation (Your Actual Payout):

Stripe does not treat the surcharge as a separate bucket; it simply takes the gross payment and deducts the fees: 438.84 - 13.03 - 4.38 = **421.43**.

You will see 421.43 deposited into your bank account via Stripe.

![](https://support.youli.io/hs-fs/hubfs/Screenshot%202026-05-21%20at%2012-21-13%E2%80%AFpm-png.png?width=670&height=176&name=Screenshot%202026-05-21%20at%2012-21-13%E2%80%AFpm-png.png)

#### **How to Reconcile the Two Systems**

If you are looking at a YouLi payment report and want to quickly figure out how much money actually hit your Stripe account, you do not need to log into Stripe every time.

Simply use this quick math shortcut straight from the YouLi breakdown:

> Actual Stripe Payout = YouLi Net Amount + Surcharge.

 Using the numbers above: 406.59 + 14.84 = 421.43.
