Payout Differences

In most cases paying out on items is the best choice as it will reconcile the items and prevent the possibility of them being paid out on twice.

Paying out Specific Amount

Paying out a specific amount will only adjust the consignor's account balance accordingly whereas paying out on items will mark the items as paid as well as adjust the consignor's account balance.

Paying out on items

  • Choose the cutoff date. The payout will be limited to entries up to and including this specified date.
  • Choose whether you'd like the Cutoff Date to apply to the Entry Date or Expire Date of the consignor's account activity.
Entry Date vs. Expire Date
The Entry Date is the effective date of the account activity entry. Usually, this is the date an item sold or an account adjustment was made.
The Expire Date is the expire date of a consign item that sold. This is used by stores that payout for sold items only after they've expired. If this option is chosen and an account activity entry does not have an expire date (i.e. fees, account adjustments, etc.), the Entry Date will be used as the cutoff type for those specific entries.

Negative Account Entries

If there is a negative account entry on the account that you intend to factor into the payout, make sure it is selected along with the other items.

Cash Pay Outs

If you do not see cash as a pay out option you are either paying out from the Back Office or from a terminal that has not been opened yet. Below is a list of pages that will assist you with this.

Paying Out Consignors In Bulk

Cash is not an option when doing a bulk payout.
To pay consignors in bulk, click the "Pay Consignors With Pending Payouts" link at the top of the Consignor Search section.
