Consignors can follow their own performance without you sending updates. When a consignor is linked to a customer, a Consignment section appears in that customer’s Shopify customer account, showing their balance, recent activity, payouts, and items. The portal is read-only. Consignors can see their numbers but can’t change anything.

​
Giving a consignor access

1

Link a customer

On the consignor’s page, link the consignor to the Shopify Customer account they’ll log in with.
2

They log in

The consignor logs in to your store’s customer account. The Consignment section appears on their profile automatically.
The consignor portal relies on Shopify customer accounts. The consignor only sees their details while they’re linked to an active consignor. Archiving the consignor hides them, and a customer who isn’t a consignor sees “Consignment isn’t set up for this account yet.”

​
What the consignor sees

The portal has two surfaces, mirroring how membership appears in the customer account:
  • A summary card on the account profile, for an at-a-glance update.
  • A fuller Consignment view with stats, activity, and items.

​
Summary card

On their profile, the consignor sees a compact card:
  • Balance owed: “[amount] owed to you”, or “You’re all settled up” when nothing is outstanding.
  • A line summarizing their items and earnings: “Your [n] consigned items have generated [amount] in rentals to date”.
  • Total paid out: “[amount] paid out to date”.
  • Recent payouts: the latest payouts you’ve recorded, each with its date and amount.

​
Stats

The fuller view leads with four figures: Balance owed, Total earned, Consigned items, and Total paid out.

​
Recent activity

A reverse-chronological feed of everything affecting their balance:
  • Earnings from rentals, shown with the cycle and item, as a positive (green) amount.
  • Refunds, shown as a negative (red) amount.
  • Payouts you’ve recorded, shown as a negative amount.
Before any items have been rented, the consignor sees “Earnings will appear here once your items are rented.”

​
My items

The consignor’s items, each showing its title, serial number, and a summary: “Rentals completed: [n] · Commission: [rate]%”. If they have more items than fit, the list shows the first batch with a “Showing [n] of [total] items” note.
Everything in the portal mirrors what you manage in the admin. Recording a payout or assigning an item updates the consignor’s view the next time they open it, with nothing extra to publish or send.
