{% hint style="warning" %}

* To ensure a seamless experience, the portal automatically displays data for the last viewed Merchant ID (MID) each time you log in.
* Merchant must identify and select the correct merchant ID with physical address or DBA (Doing Business As) name for your action.
  {% endhint %}

**Sales volume**

The Sales Volume chart provides a visual representation of monthly sales trends. It helps merchants track their business performance over time by comparing revenue across different months. The chart highlights the total sales amount for each month, making it easy to identify growth patterns and business trends.
