This page will go through the steps of how to purchase inventory from customers.
To add a purchase item to a transaction, type in it's name next to the red tag on the Checkout tab.
Next, either press the "Enter" key on your keyboard or click the magnify glass symbol. This will make the system search your current and prior inventory. If the system does not find any items matching your search, it will automatically create a new item and add it to the transaction. If it finds anything similar to what you searched for, it will show you a list of inventory that you either have or have had in the past. If this is an item that you've had previously, you can select it from the list and click the "Found My Item" button. Otherwise, click the "Enter Item Manually" button to add the new item to the transaction. At this point, you should see something like this:
From here, you can fill in all the fields as appropriate. The Purchase Price will calculate itself based on the percentage shown. To toggle between cash and credit (store credit) payouts, you just click on the appropriate button under the Customer field.
Continue to add items as necessary and complete the sale like normal.
If you are not seeing the Percentage of Retail field or the Payout Type buttons, you will need to make sure to turn on the Resale features. You can find instructions for this in the Resale Options.
