Effective financial management on any e-commerce platform hinges on meticulous record-keeping. For OrientDig users, maintaining clear and accessible documentation for refunds and payments is not just a good practice—it's essential for smooth operations and financial clarity.
The Critical Role of Documentation
In the dynamic environment of online transactions, payment confirmations and refund logs serve as your primary evidence and financial roadmap. They are crucial for reconciling accounts, resolving disputes with customers or payment gateways, and for accurate bookkeeping and tax purposes.
Core Principle: Always Keep Screenshots
The single most important habit you can develop is this: always capture and save screenshots of every refund confirmation and transaction ID.
What to Capture in Your Screenshots:
Organizing Data: Your Centralized Spreadsheet
Screenshots alone are not enough. They must be systematically linked to a central log—your spreadsheet. This creates a searchable, master record of all financial activities.
