| Reports Available Online | Report Summaries |
|---|---|
| Sales Summary | A general overview of sales from a given time period. The report includes itemization metrics like gross sales, refunds, net sales, discounts, tips and taxes. It also includes payment metrics like total collected (revenue by tender type) and fees. |
| Sales Trends | Compares your daily, weekly and yearly gross sales and average order value. |
| Payment Methods | A summary of the total collected and any associated fees from credit, debit and gift cards and any other tender types. The reports include payments broken down by debit vs credit, as well as by card brand – American Express, Visa, Mastercard, etc. with corresponding fees. Adjust filters to change the data displayed in the breakdown. |
| Item Sales | Shows details for all items sold including gross sales, net sales, SKUs, discounts and total sold. Use advanced reporting options to display item sales by device, employee or payment method. Note: Click an item in your report to see an item drop-down – specific sales info on that item and all its variations. |
| Category Sale | An overview of top grossing categories and the number of items sold within each category. |
| Team Member Sales | If you’re subscribed to Team Plus, show sales per employee, tips, average sale size and revenue per labour hour. |

| Taxes | An overview of how your tax rates are being used in a given time period, including taxable and non-taxable sales. You’ll need to create items with applied tax rates to track “taxable” sales in your reports. Note: “Taxable sales” may not add up to the “total” tax collected because some sales and items may have multiple tax rates applied. |

| Gift Cards | Tracks everything related to your Square gift card activity. |
| Transactions | A list of individual transactions and transaction details from a given time period. Find this report in Transactions in your online Square Dashboard. |
