Amazon Finance Workspace: Where Your Payments, Payouts and Reports Live in New Seller Central

Almost everything you used in the old Payments menu is now under Finance. Amazon’s own guide says the tools “are still available, but they’ve moved.” This table maps the old paths to the new ones.

If a tool is still missing, three things help. Search for it by its old name in the Seller Central search bar. Open the site map in the navigation menu or the footer. Bookmark the pages you use every week, which Amazon added in September.

Manage Payout is where you check every payout, past and upcoming. Each row shows the payout date, status, the 14-day payout period, a Trace ID with the last digit of your bank account, the Settlement ID, the amount, and whether it is a standard or invoiced account. View Details shows the payout’s timeline.

To request a payout, find the Upcoming row and choose Request Payout under Action. You can download the report for any payout except upcoming ones and periods with no payout.

How fast the money arrives is a separate change. Since September 21, 2026, Express Payout is on by default for eligible US sellers, so most payouts now land within 24 hours. Finance Workspace changes where you see your payouts. Express Payout changes how fast they get to you.

Pick the report by the question you are answering. Settlement reports follow payout timing. Date Range reports follow activity timing.

Two details catch people. First, generated reports only stay downloadable for 90 days, so save the ones you need. Second, for North American stores, Date Range reports now sort transactions by the date they posted instead of the date they were released. Amazon made that change in early 2026 to line up with 1099-K reporting. If your month-end totals moved, that is why.

Monthly checks work the same way from here. You can still audit shipping adjustment charges in your transaction history, reconcile your aged inventory surcharge each month, and track returns and removal fees. Only the menu path changed.

A few problems are open as of late September 2026. Amazon may fix them quickly, so treat this list as a snapshot.

• Payout requests failing. Some sellers have reported a “disbursement request failed” error on the new Manage Payouts page, with early reports from just before the rollout. Amazon confirmed the issue. Its workaround is to switch to Classic Seller Central from the gear icon, or to request the payout in the Amazon Seller mobile app.
• Statement View “missing.” It is still there under Manage payments. For month-end totals, Amazon points sellers to the Date Range Summary or Transaction report, since settlement periods do not match calendar months.
• No combined balance across marketplaces. The old homepage showed one total for every marketplace. New Seller Central shows balances one marketplace at a time. Amazon suggests submitting a feature request and pulling reports per marketplace.

Classic Seller Central is still reachable from the gear icon in the top right. Any page you open from there switches back to the new interface, and Amazon has not said how long Classic will stay.

If someone on your team cannot see the Finance pages, check their permissions first. The account administrator grants access under Settings, then User Permissions.

• Employees and VAs. Give them “Manage Your Payments” as a viewer. Use editor only if they need to request payouts or change payment settings. Give each person the least access they need.
• Outside firms. Amazon says not to add outside service providers as users. Add accounting firms and other partners under the Authorized Partners tab in your Global Account instead.
• Tax forms. You may need to sign in as the primary user to download Form 1099-K.

Amazon has not published a list of which permission unlocks each Finance Workspace page. If a page is still hidden after you grant Manage Your Payments, contact Seller Support.

Amazon says the core features are the same. Here is how it breaks down.

1. Open Finance from the tabs at the top or the menu in the top left. Check the net proceeds figure.
2. Read your Balance Summary. Note how much is Available, Deferred and in Account Level Reserve. Click into Manage Transaction to see release dates.
3. Check Manage Payout. Confirm your last payouts show Complete and note the Trace IDs. If a payout request fails, use Classic or the mobile app.
4. Bookmark your regular pages. Manage payments, Manage Transaction, Finance reports, Manage Taxes and Business Reports are a good start.
5. Save your reports. Download any month-end reports you rely on before the 90-day limit, and tell your bookkeeper about the posted-date change.
6. Review who has access. Check that your bookkeeper, VA or accountant has the right permission, and that outside firms use Authorized Partners.

If you would rather ask than click, Amazon’s Seller Assistant can also point you to tools in the new layout. The AI tools Amazon announced at Accelerate 2026 cover what it can do now.

Finance Workspace moved your money tools. It did not change your money. Your balance, payout schedule, reserves and reports all work the way they did before September 21. What changed is the path to each one, plus a clearer Balance Summary that shows what Amazon is holding and why. Spend an hour this week finding and bookmarking the pages you use, and keep Classic Seller Central or the mobile app in mind if a payout request fails.
