Consignify Documentation

What’s new

New features and changes in Consignify, newest first. Each entry links to the guide, so you can come back to a feature after its announcement is gone.

October 2026

  • Create a Shopify customer for a consignor

    If a consignor isn’t a Shopify customer yet, create one from the consignors list’s Link store customer action or from the consignor’s form. It uses the consignor’s saved name and email and links right away. Consignify now also asks for customer access right where you link, so there’s no detour to Settings first.

  • Pay consignors with PayPal or store credit

    On the Large Shop plan, send a payout to a consignor’s PayPal account from your PayPal Business account, or as store credit they can spend in your store, right from the payout page. Turn it on in Settings → Payout methods. Payment status shows on each payout and in the payouts tables.

    Consignors add it in the portal, and you’re notified when it changes.

  • Consignor dashboard in your store’s customer accounts

    Link a consignor to their Shopify customer, and they can see their sales, commission and payouts when they sign in to your store, then open the full portal without an emailed link. Turn it on in Settings → Customer access.

  • Create a consignor from a Shopify customer

  • Sales without a consignor, and reassigning sales

    Each sale now keeps its own consignor. On the Sales page, filter by No consignor to find custom sales and choose Change consignor from the row’s ⋯ menu. You can change the consignor of any sale that isn’t in a payout yet, and choose in Settings whether existing sales move when you reassign a product.

  • Consignors can edit active products

    On the Large Shop plan, you can also let consignors who have product entry access edit active products. It’s a separate permission in portal settings, and you can change it for each consignor. Changes to prices and stock take effect immediately. Choose the stock location for the shop or for each consignor.
