# Consignment actions

> Step-by-step guides for common consignment tasks.

### Enable consignment

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open consignment settings">
    In Shopify admin, go to **Supercycle** > **Settings** > <Icon icon="shopify" iconType="solid" /> [**Consignment**](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/settings/consignment).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enable consignment">
    Turn on **Enable consignment**, then **Save**. Once saved, **Manage consignors** becomes available.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review payout methods">
    Under **Payout methods**, **Manual** is active by default: record payouts you make outside Supercycle, like cash or a bank transfer. **Store credit** and **Bank transfer** are coming soon.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Consignment is rolling out gradually. If you don't see the **Consignment** tab in settings, it isn't enabled for your store yet, so contact support to request access.
</Note>

### Add a consignor

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open consignors">
    In Shopify admin, go to **Supercycle** > [**Consignors**](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/consignors). You can also reach this from **Settings** > **Consignment** > **Manage consignors**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add consignor">
    Select **Add consignor**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter details">
    Give the consignor a **Name** (their brand or partner name), optionally link a **Customer**, and set their **Revenue share**, the percentage of net revenue from their items that they keep.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Create">
    Select **Create consignor**. You can add **Payout methods** and edit the consignor's details from their page afterwards.
  </Step>
</Steps>

### Assign an item to a consignor

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="From an item">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Open the item">
        In Shopify admin, go to **Supercycle** > [**Inventory**](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/items) and open an item.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Select a consignor">
        In the **Consignor** card, select the edit icon, search for the consignor, and choose **Select**.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Set a commission rate (optional)">
        Enter a **Commission rate** to override the consignor's default for this item. Leave it blank to use the consignor's revenue share. The rate applies to this item's cycles.
      </Step>
    </Steps>
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="In bulk, from Inventory">
    <Steps>
      <Step title="Select items">
        Go to **Supercycle** > [**Inventory**](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/items) and select the items you want to assign.
      </Step>

      <Step title="Assign consignor">
        Open the **•••** menu, choose **Assign consignor**, pick a consignor, and confirm.
      </Step>
    </Steps>

    <Note>
      Reassigning a consignor in bulk clears any per-item commission overrides, so the items fall back to the new consignor's revenue share.
    </Note>
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

### Record a payout

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open payouts">
    In Shopify admin, go to **Supercycle** > **Consignors** > [**Payouts**](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/consignors/payouts).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Pay consignors">
    Select **Pay consignors**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose method and date">
    Set the **Payout method** (Manual), the **Paid on** date, and any **Notes**, such as a reference.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Select consignors">
    Tick the consignors you're paying. Each row shows their outstanding balance, and the footer shows the selected count and total. Consignors with nothing outstanding don't appear.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Record">
    Select **Record \[n] payouts**. Supercycle settles each selected consignor's outstanding balance into a payout and groups them under a single payout **run**.
  </Step>
</Steps>

<Note>
  Recording a payout doesn't move any money. Supercycle tracks what you owe and what you've paid. Make the actual payment outside Supercycle (cash, bank transfer, etc.) using the payout method details on the consignor.
</Note>

### Archive or unarchive a consignor

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="From the consignor page">
    Open the consignor, change **Status** to `Archived` (or `Active`), and save.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="In bulk, from the consignors list">
    On the [**Consignors**](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/consignors) table, select the consignors, open the **•••** menu, and choose **Archive consignors** or **Unarchive consignors**.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Archiving keeps all earnings, refunds, and payouts, and any outstanding balance stays payable. See [Archive a consignor](/documentation/manage/consignment/consignors#archive-a-consignor).

***

### Delete a payout

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="From the payout">
    Open the payout from [**Payouts**](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/consignors/payouts) and delete it.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="In bulk, from the payouts list">
    Select the payouts, open the **•••** menu, and choose **Delete payouts**. Confirm to remove them.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

Deleting a payout returns the entries it covered to unsettled, so they count toward the balance owed again. See [Delete a payout](/documentation/manage/consignment/payouts#delete-a-payout).
