Export file format

The Smile payment export file is a CSV formatted document, in Unix flavour, UTF-8 encoding. It contains three record types:
  • header—contains the column names for the entry records
  • entry— contains the actual import data of interest, one entry for each payment
  • footer—contains summary data about the import that can be used to verify successful import of the file

Commas separating unused columns at the end of a line may not be omitted.

Note: The CSV file may contain more fields in the future. The fields documented below will always appear in the same order; new fields will be appended to the end of the line. Clients should implement their importers assuming that more fields may appear at any time without warning. Any fields not documented in this file must not be depended upon for any purpose.
