Inspect Order History
=====================

.. contents::

  :local:

The order history gives the merchant a quick way to inspect recent point-of-sale
activity. It shows recent orders with their total amount,
elapsed time, receipt identifier, and payment state.

Open the history screen from the app navigation.

   Selecting the history screen.

Each order is shown as a separate card. A **Paid** badge means that the
customer payment was completed. Paid orders can be refunded directly from this
screen with the **Refund** button. Use **Refresh history** to update the list
when a recent payment or refund is not shown yet.

For full Merchant Portal order details, inspect the same order in the
Merchant Portal. The app history is optimized for merchant workflows, while the
Merchant Portal contains the complete merchant record.
