A consignor is the brand partner, supplier, or person who owns stock you sell on their behalf. Each consignor has a default revenue share, an optional linked customer, and one or more payout methods. Find your consignors in Shopify admin under Supercycle > Consignors, or via Settings > Consignment > Manage consignors.

Select Add consignor.

Each consignor can have its own payout details, configured on their page. Turn on the methods you’ll use for that consignor.

Record payouts you make outside Supercycle. Add Payment instructions so anyone recording a payout knows where to send it: a PayPal address, cash on pickup, and so on.
Coming soon. Pays the consignor with credit to spend in your store. The consignor must have a linked Customer to receive store credit.
Coming soon. Stores the consignor’s Account holder, Bank name, Account number, and Routing number (sort code, routing number, or BSB). Bank details are encrypted.
Only Manual payouts can be recorded today. Store credit and Bank transfer are shown so you can prepare details ahead of launch.

​
Archive a consignor

Set a consignor’s Status to Archived to hide them from your active list, for example when a partnership ends. You can also Archive consignors in bulk from the consignors list. Archiving is reversible (Unarchive consignors) and non-destructive:
  • Past earnings, refunds, and payouts are kept.
  • Any outstanding balance remains payable. Archived consignors with a balance still appear when recording payouts.
  • Items stay assigned to the consignor.

​
Custom fields

You can add custom field definitions for consignors to store extra information, such as a tax ID or contract reference. Set these up under Settings > Custom data. See Custom data for more.
