How Rent, Sales, and Settlements Interact: Examples and Scenarios

The Syncrostore running balance system tracks all vendor financial activity in one place. Here are examples to illustrate how rent, sales, and settlements interact.

Scenario 1: Vendor with positive balance at settlement time

• Vendor A has $500 in sales. After 10% commission, the store owes $450.
• Monthly rent is $200.
• Net balance at settlement: $450 - $200 = $250 (Vendor receives $250).

Scenario 2: Vendor with negative balance at settlement time

• Vendor B has $100 in sales. After 10% commission, the store owes $90.
• Monthly rent is $300.
• Net balance at settlement: $90 - $300 = -$210 (Vendor owes $210; no payout occurs).

Scenario 3: Vendor pays off debt and earns payout

• Vendor B carries a -$210 balance from last period.
• Vendor pays $210 rent directly → balance becomes $0.00.
• Vendor sells $80 of product → balance becomes $80.00.
• At settlement: Vendor receives $80.

These scenarios demonstrate why the running balance system eliminates disputes — everything is transparent and traceable.
