How to keep track of consignment inventory

[KudzuHill]

We make products for sale at local farmers markets, craft events and festivals plus we have wholesale clients. We do not have a brick & mortar store. My question: we have one local store that carries our products on consignment. Meaning, the items are not in our workshop inventory and therefore not available for us to sell. But they are not officially sold yet either. What is the best way to track those consigned items using square inventory?

Hello Kudzuhill,

Unfortunately Square is not a one size works for all.   I don't believe there's a Square option or feature that would support your scenario - you may have consider going outside the box - maybe by manually tracking the items that someone else is selling for you.  (A spreadsheet or database would work.)  I'm sure if any members do have a work around for a situation like this, they will share their experience.

I have this same situation.  I sell at farmers markets and now have my products in 3 stores.  Each store requires a different consignment fee for selling items for me.  I'd like to record all my sales in one location and be able to have Square categorize by which place they were sold and also have it tell me how much I owe each for the consignment fees at each location.  I have a location set up for each and they are set up as an employee and utilize my system for sales and collect my money in an envelope.  I go in once a month or so and we split the money.  It would be nice if I could run a report to tell me how to split the money.
