Reading the dashboard
The “Get selling” checklist (new vendors)
Until you’ve been through the motions once, the dashboard shows an onboarding card titled “Get selling” — “List products, get them approved, then fulfil orders and get paid.” It tracks two steps:
- “List your first product” — “Add an item to your catalog so buyers can find it.” The List button opens the product form.
- “Submit a product for approval” — “Send a product to the marketplace operator for review.” The Submit button takes you to Products.
When both are done the card switches to “You’re all set” — “Every setup step is done. You can dismiss this.” Dismissing hides it for good on that browser.
Your terms: commission and payout tiles
Two tiles state the commercial terms the operator has set for you:
- Your commission — the percentage of gross sales the operator keeps (e.g. 7%). Everything else is yours.
- Payout terms — shown as Net-N (e.g. Net-30): after an order is delivered, its net amount becomes payable to you within N days.
These terms are set by the operator when they approve you and can only be changed by them — there is no settings page for them in the portal. If you believe they’re wrong, contact the operator.
The four money tiles
Each tile is clickable and covers the current trend window (the last 30 days by default):
| Tile | What it counts | Clicking it |
|---|---|---|
| Orders | How many sub-orders you received in the window. | Opens Orders. |
| Gross sales | The full value of those orders, before commission. | Opens Orders. |
| Commission | The operator’s cut of that gross. | Opens the Commission breakdown dialog (see Reading the dashboard). |
| Net earnings | What’s left for you: gross minus commission. | Opens Payouts. |
The Net earnings chart
The “Net earnings” panel plots your net earnings per day as bars, captioned “Last N days · [total]”. Hover any bar to see the exact figure for that date. If you haven’t earned anything in the window yet you’ll see: “No earnings in this window yet — fulfil orders and your trend builds here.”
Recent orders
The “Recent orders” panel lists your latest five sub-orders — Order reference (the first 8 characters of its id), date, a colour-coded status tag (green = delivered, blue = shipped, red = cancelled, amber = everything else) and the net amount. Click any row, or View all, to jump into Orders. Before your first sale the panel shows “No orders yet” — “Once buyers order your products, their orders show up here for you to accept, ship and deliver.”
Your catalog and Top products
The “Your catalog” panel shows your total product count and a breakdown by review state: Approved & live (green), In review (blue), Needs changes (red) and Draft (amber). The Manage link opens Products. With an empty catalog it shows “No products yet” — “List your first product to start selling on the marketplace.” — and a List a product button.
If you have sales, a “Top products” panel ranks your best sellers — “By sales · last N days” — with name, SKU, units sold and gross.
Interest in your listings
Top products tells you what sold. “Interest in your listings” tells you what did not: the products buyers opened and then walked away from, with the number of views and no orders against them.
That list is usually the most useful thing on this page. A product with steady views and no sales rarely has a demand problem — it has a price, a photo, a description or a lead time that loses people at the last moment. The panel appears once buyers have viewed your listings, and says so plainly when every listing that drew interest has also sold.
The Commission breakdown dialog
Click the Commission tile to open a dialog that shows exactly how the commission figure was built:
- An intro line restating the deal: “7% of gross sales. Cancelled orders earn nothing, so they are not counted.” (your own rate is shown).
- A by-status table — Status / Orders / Gross / Commission — with a Total row.
- If any orders were cancelled in the window, a note such as: “A further N order(s) were cancelled and are not counted above — no commission was earned on them. Had they completed they would have added [amount].”
- A “Per order” table — Order / Date / Status / Gross / Commission — sorted with the largest commission first. It opens with the 20 largest; when you have more, the heading says so (“largest 20 of N”) and Show more adds the next ones.
The footer offers View all orders and Close.
