Ricochet offers two primary ways to conduct payouts to your consignors:
Individual/Manual Payouts: running a single payout outside of a normal schedule
Bulk Payouts: running payouts for multiple people for sales through a specific date.
Keep in mind that this is not a date range.
For example, if you conduct payouts on the first of every month for the sales of the month prior, simply select the last day of the previous month, and Ricochet will automatically find all of your sold inventory, the respective consignors, and the amount owed to each.
If you are a vendor-based store, you may need to charge your vendors rent or fees for the month.
This can be done with the Bulk Credit Adjustment Tool if you have not set up the Booth Rent feature to have those fees automatically deducted prior to payout.
