I'd like to be able to track sales by vendor for a consignment shop. Has anyone used Square to do this? Maybe create a category which is a specific vendor?
Any suggestions on how anyone has done it will be a big help.

Hi VBBGallery,
Using Square for consignment sales is definitely possible, though it requires some creative setup. Here are a few approaches you could consider:
Categories for vendors: As you suggested, creating a category for each vendor is one way to track sales. You can then run reports filtered by category to see each vendor's sales.
Custom fields: Square allows you to add custom fields to items. You could create a "Vendor" custom field and fill it with the appropriate vendor name for each item.
SKU system: Develop a SKU system that incorporates vendor information. For example, the first few characters could represent the vendor.
Item variations: If you have a limited number of vendors, you could set up item variations with the vendor names.
Third-party integrations: There are some third-party apps that integrate with Square and offer more robust consignment tracking features.
Each method has pros and cons depending on your specific needs and the number of vendors you work with. The categories or custom fields approaches are probably the most straightforward for most consignment shops.
