Select Bark in your store’s sidebar to open the wallet dashboard. It shows your balances, a transactions list, and a balance history chart.

​
One main balance, several sub-balances

The dashboard presents your wallet as one main balance with sub-balances beneath it. The main figure totals every sub-balance. Sub-balances appear when their value is greater than zero:

​
The Bark on-chain balance is a separate wallet

The on-chain sub-balance is not your store’s regular BTCPay wallet. BTCPay Server and the Bark plugin use two separate on-chain wallets:
  1. Native BTCPay wallet: Receives on-chain checkout payments. The plugin never touches it.
  2. Bark on-chain wallet: Primarily used for maintaining a reserve that pays the on-chain fees of an emergency exit. It also receives the bitcoin delivered by exits and by offboards. More on managing your Bark on-chain wallet.
It’s a good idea to maintain a small on-chain balance in your Bark wallet so that you can initiate an exit without delay if one is ever needed. That said, it’s still perfectly viable to deposit on-chain bitcoin at the time of exit if you don’t have any on hand—it just means one extra step when timing may matter.

​
Transactions

The transaction list by default shows all wallet operations, including wallet maintenance operations such as refreshes. For a clearer view of only incoming or outgoing payments, use the status filters.
This list is for Bark-handled payments only: checkout payments over Lightning and Ark appear here, and so do the on-chain payments you send and receive from the admin panel. For on-chain payments received on your checkout, you’ll need to go to the Bitcoin page.

​
Label your transactions

When you create a payment on the Receive and Send screens, you can attach labels to it. Labels are shared across the store, and each transaction displays its labels as badges in the list.
