# Payments

> Review how retail orders were paid.

Payment reports show how money was collected, not only what was sold.

## What To Check

Use payment reports to review:

* Payment methods.
* Monthly payment method totals.
* Counts and amounts by method.
* Differences between sales and collected payments.

Payment reports are useful during closing because they help reconcile cash, card, and other payment methods.
