Visualize and Analyze Harmonized Payments Data

Peacock gives you access to self-service business intelligence for tracking the health of your payments ecosystem.

With Peacock, you can break down all of your transactions, declines, chargebacks, orders, and more by an array of variables: from countries and currencies to card types and brands.

Have questions about the data you see in Peacock? Wondering what some of the metrics are or what a certain industry term means? Pagos Copilot can help! This OpenAI-powered chatbot can answer questions about the payments industry and Pagos products, and can even help you dig into trends in your own data.
