Best practices for using vendor account balance

Multi-Vendor Questions
1

im new to MVE and currently figuring out a process to manage vendor payouts and accounting.



I just wanted to get some tips from those who are using MVE regarding how they use vendor account balance in the admin panel.

  1. do you keep all transactions in the list? Or do you delete old ones or previous pay period? (im not exactly sure why there are delete buttons prominently displayed. I assume its designed this way for a reason)
  2. Any tips on common challenges with vendor payout?





    thanks!

I’d like to know what other users of MVE are doing as well. I started this thread but have not yet received any useful tips:

We haven’t launched our MVE site yet and I’m worried that the account features built in to cs-cart (amounts owed, vendor payouts etc) will not be reliable enough - eg could something go wrong so that data is not tracked accurately and vendors think we owe them more than we should? Is it possible that a vendor may alter what is owed to them? What happens if data is lost or corrupted, then we won’t know how much is owed to whom?



Am keen to hear others experiences with MVE and account balances…



Thanks :slight_smile:

Is it possible to only include "completed" orders in the vendor balance in payout section? Currently it will include orders that are still processing.. we want the Vendor Payout Balance to only calculate from orders marked complete. Please advise.

I think that should be the default configuration. Do you happen to have 'Charge to vendor account' ticked for your "processing" status?

I did not have it set correctly.. Thank you! I edited those settings and now the vendor payout is calculated as I wanted. Thanks again.
