How do you View your Sales on Takealot?

Some of the categories also have special filters which help you sort out the information or search for specific information.For example, under the Order Date, you can set a date range to filter out older sales. Or if you want to find specific products, you can search for keywords in the search bar under the 'Product Title' section.For a full practical demonstration, we highly recommend watching this video. Shipment details are not showing up for some products...The reason for this is that the products have not been delivered yet to your customers.

Shipment details along with the total fees only show up when you fulfil an order via the Leadtime Order method.Total Fees details are not showing up...If the Total Fees details are not showing up for any product, that means the product has not been delivered yet; the order has not been fulfilled.
