Helps generate clean financial reports
Allows grouping like:
Shipping Supplies
Software Subscriptions
Inventory Costs
Office Expenses
Well-defined categories make it much easier to understand where your money is going.
Export All Expenses
This feature allows you to download your entire expense history, typically as a file (CSV or similar).
Common uses:
Sharing data with your accountant or bookkeeper
Preparing for tax filing
Creating external reports or backups
This ensures your financial data is portable and secure outside the platform.
Add Expense Item
This button is used to manually record a new expense.
When adding an expense, you typically input:
Category
Date
Amount
Description
Recurring settings (if applicable)
This is one of the most important actions on this page, as accurate data entry directly impacts your profit tracking.
Expense Table Columns (Detailed)
Expense Category
This shows how the expense is classified. Categories help group similar expenses together for easier analysis.
Example:
“Shipping Supplies” → labels, boxes
“Software” → subscriptions like tools or apps
Proper categorization helps you understand spending breakdowns.
Date of Expense
This is the exact date the expense occurred or was recorded.
Why it matters:
Ensures expenses are assigned to the correct reporting period
Helps with monthly profit calculations
Important for tax and bookkeeping accuracy
Amount
This shows the total cost of the expense.
Typically entered as a fixed value
Directly impacts your net profit calculations
Accurate amounts are critical for financial visibility and reporting.
Description
This is a free-text field where you can add additional details about the expense.
Examples:
“Thermal labels from Amazon”
“Monthly subscription – listing tool”
This helps provide context, especially when reviewing expenses later.
Repeat Expense
This indicates whether the expense is recurring.
Examples:
Monthly software subscriptions
Storage fees
Memberships
When enabled, this helps automate tracking so you don’t need to manually re-enter the same expense repeatedly.
End Date
This field applies only to recurring expenses and shows when the recurring charge will stop.
Leave blank if ongoing
Set a date if the expense is temporary
This helps prevent overcounting expenses in future periods.
“There are no expenses to display”
This message appears when:
No expenses have been added yet
Your current search/filter returns no results
It simply means the table is empty under the current conditions—not necessarily that something is wrong.
Rows-per-page Dropdown
This controls how many expense entries are displayed in the table at once.
Lower number = cleaner, less cluttered view
Higher number = more data visible at once
Useful when:
Reviewing large datasets
Comparing multiple expenses quickly

Each field plays a role in building a complete financial picture of your business. When used correctly, this page helps you:
