Learn how to read monthly reports
Every month, BookSpot invoices for the previous month's booking value, excluding VAT.
You can find the sales reports and statistics under Reports > Sales in the left-hand menu.
Sales Report shows all sales for a specific month, including VAT rates, payments, and returns, divided into online and offline reports.
Sales Report (detailed)
The sales report is divided into two reports to simplify your accounting - online (all payments made online by customers) and offline (all manually registered payments by admin/staff). Often, it is the "online report" from BookSpot that you need to use as a basis for your accounting of payments via your online payment solution.
Sales Report Tab
This tab provides an overview of all your payments and returns via the payment solution you use for online payments. Here you can see:
All new payments during the period
All returns during the period
Sales divided by VAT rates (considering returns)
Bookings & Value Codes Tab
This tab shows all new bookings and sold value codes during the period, either created by the customer themselves via your website/booking widget, or created by you as admin/staff via the back-office section in BookSpot.
Each row represents a sale of a product or a value code created during the period; a booking can therefore be represented by several rows with different products. If a booking has a rebooking guarantee, this is added as a separate row in the list with 0% VAT according to Skatteverkets regulations.
Tab Sales per Product
In this tab, you’ll find all sales for each product during the period.
Tab Payments
This tab shows all payments registered during the period, along with which booking each payment is associated with (column Order ID).
Tab Returns
In this tab, you’ll see all returns during the period, along with the applicable VAT rates for each return.
Why is the payout lower than sales?
The reason the payout from your online payment provider is slightly lower than your total sales for the period is that the sales reports in BookSpot do not account for the fee charged by your online payment provider per transaction.
The report generated by the payment solution (e.g., Bambora/Worldline or Stripe) can be found by logging into their website.
