Transaction Report
Tells you the total amount of daily sales and any refunds processed for your payment methods for a particular time frame.
Important notes about the transaction report:
- The refunds column tells you if any refunds were processed on that particular day. It doesn’t go back to the day of the original sale.
- If an order is refunded, the refund amount is deducted from the sales column for the day the order was placed.
- Cancelled orders are not included in the sales columns of the transaction report, but are included in the refunds columns.
- The order IDs for the refunded orders and for each payment gateway are listed for each day.
