Cartup's transaction history feature allows users to view full records of their past purchases and transactions. For sellers who must keep track of their revenue and sales, this feature is quite crucial. It gives consumers clarity and a simple way to handle warranties, returns, and purchases.

The software engineers concentrated on streamlining database queries and guaranteeing data consistency throughout the platform, while the software development service team created an intuitive user interface to put this into practice. Strong encryption and frequent database backups were used to ensure the confidentiality and accuracy of transaction records, which was of utmost importance.
