Understanding the Rent and Settlement Running Balance System

Syncrostore uses a Running Balance system that combines rent charges and sales settlements into a single balance per vendor — similar to a bank account.

How It Works:

  • Selling Items adds money (credit) to a vendor's balance.
  • Rent Charges subtract money (debit) from a vendor's balance.
  • Settlements pay out positive balances to vendors and reset them.
  • Rent Payments (made by vendors directly) add money to cover negative balances.

Example:

Activity

Vendor Balance

Rent Applied ($30.00)

($30.00)

Vendor Sells Product ($50.00)

$20.00

Settlements Run (Vendor gets $20.00)

$0.00

Rent Applied ($30.00)

($30.00)

No Sales This Period

($30.00)

Settlements Run (No payout — balance negative)

($30.00)

Rent Applied ($30.00)

($60.00)

Vendor Pays Rent ($60.00)

$0.00

Note: Store commission on sales is factored into the balance calculation.
