in general, this is the meaning in accounting—-(zazzle may have a different explanation….)
If a number in an account is in brackets it just means it's negative. Brackets are used because minus signs can be mistaken for dashes.
it may mean that a shop had customers who received returns which put the shop sales credits into a negative balance. If that happens, z then deducts the returns amount from the cleared sales amount, results in negative balance amount. Time for the brackets!
