Vendor Specific → Rent Payment. Consignment plans only — if you can't see the menu, that's why.
Finding the vendor
- Under the Vendor Specific menu button
Clicking on "Rent Payment" brings up the search filed
Search by vendor ID, alias, name or business name. Leave the box empty and press Search to list every vendor in the store.
Each result shows "#57 - Wrendale Designs" with their Balance and Deposit.
Taking the payment
Enter the Payment amount, then press Add rent payment.
The payment goes onto the sale as a line named "Rent Payment - 57". Take payment as normal.
Rent vs deposit
Tick "Send as a deposit (does not affect balance)" and it's recorded as a deposit instead — the line reads "Rent Deposit - 57".
| Goes against | Use for | |
|---|---|---|
| Rent payment | The vendor's rent balance | Regular booth rent |
| Deposit | Their deposit balance | Security deposits held against the booth |
A deposit doesn't reduce what they owe in rent. Get this right at the register — it's fiddly to correct afterwards.
Tax and card fees
Rent is never taxed — neither payments nor deposits, whatever your tax settings.
Your card surcharge does apply. A vendor paying rent by card pays the surcharge, the same as any other card payment.
The vendor's account updates when the sale is paid
Adding the line doesn't move their balance. That happens when the sale is tendered.
