How to view kid business transactions

A transaction is a record of money moving in or out of an account — for example, a payment received from a customer or a withdrawal made by the business owner. If you run a business on KiddyCash, every shilling that flows through your business account is recorded as a transaction.

This article shows you how to open and read the transaction list for your kid-run business.

Before you start

Make sure you have already set up your business on KiddyCash. If you haven’t done that yet, follow the steps in How to create a kid-run business first, then come back here.

You can also view all your kid-run businesses from your dashboard if you need to check which business account you want to open.

What you will need

Your KiddyCash login details
At least one business already created on your account
Your business ID — a short code that identifies your specific business (you can find this on your business profile page)

Steps: Open your business transaction list

Log in to your KiddyCash account at kiddy.cash.
From your dashboard, tap My Businesses in the bottom navigation bar.
Find the business whose transactions you want to view, then tap its name to open the business profile.
On the business profile page, tap Transactions. This takes you directly to your business transaction list. You can also navigate there directly using your business ID:
```
https://kiddy.cash/kiddy-business/:business_id/transaction
```
Replace :business_id with the actual ID shown on your business profile.
Your full transaction history will load on the screen.

Understanding the transaction list

Each row in the list is one transaction. Here is what the columns mean:

Column	What it shows
Date	When the transaction happened
Description	A short note about the transaction — for example, “Customer payment” or “Withdrawal”
Transaction code	A unique reference number for that transaction. Useful if you need help from support
Amount (KES)	How much money moved. Green means money came in; red means money went out
Balance	Your business account balance after that transaction

Tip for Kenyan users: If a customer paid you through M-Pesa, the transaction code shown here matches the M-Pesa confirmation message they received. You can use this to confirm a payment was received before handing over goods.

What to do if a transaction looks wrong

Check the transaction code and note it down.
Tap the transaction row to see the full details.
If something still does not make sense, contact KiddyCash support and share the transaction code — this helps the team find the record quickly.

Why tracking transactions matters

Keeping an eye on your business money is one of the most important habits a young entrepreneur can build. Understanding where your money comes from and where it goes is also the first step toward bigger financial concepts — like investing. If you are curious about that, the articles Why investing is a concept kids can learn younger than you think and How to explain investing to a child without the jargon are great places to start.
