Consignments
The Consignments section lets you manage products that are placed on consignment — items owned by a third party that you sell on their behalf.
How Consignment Works
When a consignor brings in items to sell through your store:
- The items are added to your inventory and flagged as consignment products.
- When sold, the system tracks the sale and calculates the store's commission.
- The consignor receives the proceeds minus your commission.
Managing Consignments
Go to Inventory > Consignments to view and manage all consignment items and agreements.
- View active consignment items
- Track which items have sold
- Monitor commission amounts
Category-Level Settings
Consignment behavior is configured at the Category level:
- Is Consignment: Mark a category as consignment to flag all products within it.
- Commission Rate: Set the store's commission percentage for that category.
Go to Inventory > Category to configure these settings.
Tips
- Set up dedicated categories for consignment items to keep commission tracking clean.
- Review consignment sales regularly to ensure timely payouts to consignors.
- Use the commission rate at the category level to standardize your terms.
