Check the month's takings

The Billing tab is your month, one screen at a time. Pick a month from the dropdown and it loads every order in it, up to a year back.

The months are Nepali months, Shrawan, Bhadra, Ashwin and so on, because that is what your books are kept in, and the fiscal year sits beside the picker. See Dates on your dashboard.

• Orders: how many you took that month. Cancelled and refunded orders are left out of all four tiles, so a void never flatters the figures.
• Paid sales: the total of the orders you have actually ticked Mark paid. Money in, not money promised.
• VAT collected: the VAT on those paid orders, ready to hand over. It stays at zero until you set a VAT rate.
• Unpaid: what is still owed to you. Working through this list is usually the fastest money you will make all week.

Ticket sales start out unpaid

A ticket sale writes a real order, but nobody has handed you cash yet, so it arrives unpaid like any other. Until you press Mark paid it counts under Unpaid, not Paid sales. The same goes for an order that came with a payment screenshot: the screenshot is a claim, and only you can say the money arrived. See Take payment by QR.

The spreadsheet for your accountant

Press Export CSV and the month downloads as a spreadsheet named after your shop and the month. One row per order, with the columns an accountant asks for: order code, then Date (BS), Time and Date (AD) in three columns of their own, customer and phone, fulfilment (Pickup, Delivery, Dine-in or Tickets), status, counted in totals, paid yes or no, the promo code used, then subtotal, discount, service, VAT, delivery and total.

Both calendars get a column because a spreadsheet has to do two jobs: sit beside your own ledger, which is Nepali, and sit beside a bank statement, which is not.

The export holds every order of that month, cancelled ones included, and leaves the Status column there for your accountant to decide with. Counted in totals says which rows the four tiles above actually added up, so the two never disagree without explaining themselves.

The Promo column is also the honest answer to "did that offer work": sort by it and count.

One order at a time

Every row carries an invoice button. It opens the printable bill with your PAN details, the lines and the totals, the same one you hand over at the counter, and the buttons to print it or email it again. Paid rows carry a green Paid badge, so the unpaid ones stand out. See Tax invoices and sales records.

The morning letter

You do not have to open the tab to know how yesterday went. On any morning that had orders, Pasal emails you a short summary: how many orders, what was paid, the counter and online split, your three best sellers, anything running low, and today's bookings. Switch it off under Settings, Orders and delivery, with Daily summary email.

Analytics shows a different number on purpose. Its revenue tile covers the last 7 or 30 days, not a calendar month, so it will rarely match Paid sales. Billing is for your books; Analytics is for what is working.
