How Accounts Work

In ConsignCloud, an account represents a person or business you work with. This could be a consignor who brings items to sell in your store, a vendor who has a booth in your store, or a customer who has made purchases. Every consignment or buy outright item is tied to an account, which is how the software tracks ownership and ultimately what’s owed and to whom.

Accounts, balances, and splits

When an item sells, the consignor’s share is added to their account balance based on the split you have set up at your store. Balances build up over time and are settled when you pay the consignor or vendor out, which we'll cover in more detail in another lesson.

Accounts also store contact details, fee settings, notification preferences, notes, and history, giving you a complete picture of your relationship with each consignor or vendor in one place.
