Get Started with VendorPayout

Install the app

You need Shopify admin access. In the Shopify App Store, search for Vendor Payout and install it on your store. After install, open the app from Shopify. The first screen in VendorPayout is the setup wizard.

The Shopify admin screens change outside this app, so this article does not show those clicks. The steps below are the VendorPayout screens you see after the app opens.

Setup wizard

Open Setup. The sidebar is Sync Orders, Commission Split, Review Vendors, Overrides, Invite Vendors, and Finish. Skip setup leaves the wizard and opens Vendors.

1. On Welcome to VendorPayout, click Let's Get Started.
2. On Sync Your Orders, click Sync Now if your orders are not in yet. The page says: Vendors are pulled from the Vendor field on your products. Orders are used to calculate payouts. If orders are already imported, you see Orders already synced! and Continue to Splits.

3. On Set Your Default Commission Split, pick 70 / 30, 60 / 40, or 50 / 50, or enter your own. Split type is Percentage or Fixed Amount ($). The label under the amount is Vendor receives. Click Save & Continue.

4. On Review Your Vendors, change a vendor's split or use Set all vendors to and Apply to All. Click Continue. If you have no vendors yet, you can Add a product in Shopify, Sync again, Add vendor, or Skip for now.

5. On Do You Need Custom Split Rules?, choose No, same split for everyone and click Continue, or choose Yes, I need different rates and create an override. You can also click Skip & Finish Setup.

6. On Invite Your Vendors, enter an email and password and click Create vendor logins, or click Skip for now. VendorPayout does not email the password. If every vendor already has a login, the button is Continue.

7. On Finish, the heading is You're All Set!. The only action is Go to Dashboard. That button finishes setup and opens Vendors. It does not open Orders.

After setup

1. Change a vendor split
2. Create a vendor login
3. Set up PayPal if you want VendorPayout to send the money
