Our features make it easy to track consignment sales. There are several methods for achieving this inside Thrive. You decide which method makes the most sense for your business from the options below:

Each tracking method has different advantages depending on how you want to filter, report on, and display consignment products.

Create each consigner as a Category. In Thrive, you can add more than one Category to a product. Just be aware that this does affect Category-based reporting.

Enter a consigner identifier in the Barcode field for each consignment product. Barcodes can be shared across multiple products and can contain text (not just numbers).

Use the Barcode field in the product settings. A Barcode can be shared across multiple products and it doesn't have to be a number (text is allowed). That way, every product that comes from a consigner will have the same Barcode. 

Add a consigner identifier directly to the Product Name field. This makes consignment products immediately identifiable when browsing your product list.

Whichever method you choose, it is usually best to use a CODE if you don't want your end Customer to know your consigner's name. (For example, if you order from Ana Smith Designs, you could create a code of "ASD" like the screenshot above). 

This way, you can obscure the consigner's name from your end customers and quickly be able to search/filter by the consigner.
