Payment transactions don't appear on Profit & Loss reports because they don't use income accounts. Instead, they're used to pay invoices that use income accounts. If you're recording your payments as deposits, you can use an income account for the deposit, then it will show up on your P&L report.
You'll also be able to find many detailed resources about using QuickBooks in our help article archives.
Please don't hesitate to send a reply if there's any additional questions. Have a lovely day!
