# Accessing batches
The **Batches** feature in the Merchant Portal allows merchants to manage and track transaction batches efficiently. A batch is a collection of transactions processed within a specific time frame before being settled.
**Closed Batches**
The Closed Batches section provides a record of previously settled transaction batches. Merchants can review batch details, including batch numbers, closure dates, total amounts, transaction counts, and terminal IDs.
The See Trans option allows users to view individual transactions within a batch.
The **Closed Batches** page helps to view, manage, and export previously closed and funded batches. This feature helps merchants to track settled payments, reconcile transactions, and export batch data for financial reporting.
