A consignor is the brand partner, supplier, or person who owns stock you sell on their behalf. Each one has a revenue share, an optional linked customer, and the payout methods you use to pay them. Open your consignors from Consignors. Manage consignors on the Consignment settings page goes to the same table. To create one, see Add a consignor.

​
The consignors table

The All, Active, and Archived tabs filter by status. You can also search by name, sort by name or created date, and select Export to download the table as a CSV.

​
The consignor page

Open a consignor to see what their stock has earned and to change how you pay them. The stats across the top count their items and cycles, the revenue their items have made, and the balance you owe. Payouts lists everything you’ve paid them.

Turn on Manual, add your payment instructions, then Save.

​
Revenue share

Revenue share decides what the consignor keeps from each paid charge:
  • Inherit shop default. Uses the default from consignment settings, which is what new consignors get.
  • Percentage of sale. A fixed percentage of the charge subtotal for this consignor’s items.
  • Formula. A Liquid expression returning the consignor’s amount in cents.
A formula is written in an editor with variable chips and a Try it out calculator. See Revenue share formulas for the variables, worked examples, and how amounts are frozen on each sale.

​
Payout methods

Turn on the methods you use for this consignor and add their details:
  • Manual. Record payouts you make outside Supercycle. Add Payment instructions so anyone recording a payout knows where to send it, such as a PayPal address or cash on pickup.
  • Store credit. Pays the consignor with credit to spend in your store. Needs a linked Customer.
  • Bank transfer. Stores the consignor’s Account holder, Bank name, Account number, and Routing number. Bank details are encrypted.
Only Manual payouts can be recorded. Store credit and Bank transfer show as Not available, so their details are stored but nothing is paid through them.

​
Custom fields

Add custom field definitions for consignors to hold extra information, such as a tax ID or a contract reference. Define them under Custom data, then fill them in on the consignor’s page. A formula can read them as consignor.fields.<key>.

​
Archive a consignor

Archive a consignor to take them off your active list, for example when a partnership ends.

Open the consignor from Consignors.

Set the status

Set Status to Archived, then select Save. To archive several at once, select them on the consignors table, open the ••• menu, and choose Archive consignors.
Archiving is reversible with Unarchive consignors, and it destroys nothing. Past earnings, refunds, and payouts are kept, items stay assigned, and any outstanding balance is still payable. Archived consignors with a balance still appear when you record payouts.
