# Consignors

> Add and manage the brand partners whose stock you sell.

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**](https://admin.shopify.com/apps/supercycle/consignors), or via **Settings** > **Consignment** > **Manage consignors**.

## The consignors list

The consignors table shows every consignor and the key numbers at a glance.

| Column          | Description                                                    |
| --------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `Consignor`     | The consignor's name. Links to their detail page.              |
| `Customer`      | The linked Shopify customer, if any.                           |
| `Revenue share` | The consignor's default share of net revenue, as a percentage. |
| `Items`         | How many items are assigned to the consignor.                  |
| `Balance owed`  | The amount you've accrued but not yet paid out.                |
| `Status`        | `Active` or `Archived`.                                        |

Use the **All**, **Active**, and **Archived** tabs to filter by status, search by name, and sort by name or created date. Select **Export** to download the list as a CSV.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open consignors">

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

  <Step title="Enter details">

## Payout methods

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

</Frame>

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Manual">
    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.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Store credit">
    Coming soon. Pays the consignor with credit to spend in your store. The consignor must have a linked **Customer** to receive store credit.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Bank transfer">
    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.
  </Accordion>
</AccordionGroup>

<Note>
  Only **Manual** payouts can be recorded today. **Store credit** and **Bank transfer** are shown so you can prepare details ahead of launch.
</Note>

## 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](/documentation/configuration/custom-data/custom-fields) for more.
