| Order/Project ID | Unique reference to the related order. |
| Transaction Type | Payment, Top-up, or Refund. |
| Amount | The exact figure, clearly indicating currency. |
| Method | e.g., Credit Card, Bank Transfer, Digital Wallet. |
| Reference/Note | Internal reference number or brief reason (e.g., "Refund for delayed service"). |
