Assigning an item to a consignor tells Supercycle that the consignor owns that stock and earns a share of its revenue. You can assign one item at a time or many at once. Every item uses its consignor’s revenue share — inherit, percentage, or formula. There is no per-item rate override. To treat one item differently, add a custom field on the item and reference it in the formula (for example item.fields.payout_rate).

​
How revenue share is calculated

Revenue share accrues to a consignor’s balance based on what their items actually earn:
1

A charge is paid

When a charge on a consigned item is paid, Supercycle records an earning for the consignor.
2

The formula renders

Supercycle resolves the consignor’s revenue share (or the shop default when they inherit), renders the formula against the charge, cycle, item, and consignor, and records the result in cents.
3

The amount is frozen

The formula text, basis, amount, and source are saved with the earning. Changing settings later only affects future earnings.
4

Refunds reverse proportionally

If that charge is later refunded, Supercycle records a refund entry that reverses the same proportion of the original amount — the formula is not re-rendered.
Every earning and refund is itemized in the payout breakdown when you settle a balance.
Revenue share is calculated when a charge is paid, so an order that’s placed but not yet paid doesn’t add to a consignor’s balance until payment is collected.
