Each section will offer a breakdown for the transactions by Date, Payment method and Item (products)

Bookings section

The bookings section will display all of your payment transactions which have been paid within the defined time period.

The bookings section is the section you should be looking at when reconciling your sales with the payouts you have received from Rentle. Read our article about reconciling Rentle payouts.
