Vendors

Can I manually create a vendor?

Yes, vendors can be created directly in VendorPayout on the Create Vendor Accounts page, rather than only through Shopify.

Does VendorPayout email vendors their login credentials?

No. After creating a login for a vendor, you will need to reach out to the vendor directly with their credentials. VendorPayout emails may appear as spam to vendors who don't recognize the app.

Can vendors log in from my store?

Yes! You can embed the VendorPayout login page into your Shopify theme so vendors can access their portal without leaving your store.

How do vendors reset their password?

Vendors must contact the store owner, who can reset passwords through VendorPayout's system.

My vendor is missing. What happened?

Check the Deleted Vendors page to restore accidentally deleted vendors, then recreate their login access if needed.

Orders

I just created an order and don't see it in VendorPayout?

VendorPayout only syncs orders once a day in the morning. You can manually sync orders from the Orders page at any time.

Can VendorPayout sync my past orders?

When you first install VendorPayout, only the latest 250 orders are synced. Contact support@vendorpayout.com to sync additional historical orders.

Can a single product pay multiple vendors?

My vendor calculations are complex. Can VendorPayout handle them?
