Set Defaults While you're here, you can choose to set your default Cost Percent or Default Fees. The Default Cost Percent is how much the Consignor is going to keep - and you keep the rest! Note: If you're using Default Fee, then your Default Cost Percent has to be set to 100%. ![Step 5 screenshot](https://coreware-screenshots.s3.amazonaws.com/coreSTORE_-_Sales_How_to_do_Consignments_5.png) --- ### How to start a Consignment Now that we have enabled Consignments, lets go over how to start a consignment! 6.

Selling Price Add the selling price the consignor wants to set for this item. ![Step 9 screenshot](https://coreware-screenshots.s3.amazonaws.com/coreSTORE_-_Sales_How_to_do_Consignments_9.png) 10. Consignment Cost Percent When using Consignment Cost Percent, remember that this represents the percentage the consignor will keep. For instance, if you want to retain 10% of the selling price of a consignment item, you should set this field to 90%. ![Step 10 screenshot](https://coreware-screenshots.s3.amazonaws.com/coreSTORE_-_Sales_How_to_do_Consignments_10.png) 11. Consignment Fee In addition to the default cost percent, you can also charge each consignor a specific fee in addition to the margin you will earn on the item for selling the used item for them by entering that amount in **Consignment Fee**. If you do not want to charge consignors a fee, leave this set to 0. Example of Consignment cost percent and consignment fee Selling price of $100, Consignment cost percent of 75% and consignment fee of $10 would pay the Consignor $65 ( $75(consignment cost) - $10(consignment fee)= $65) ![Step 11 screenshot](https://coreware-screenshots.s3.amazonaws.com/coreSTORE_-_Sales_How_to_do_Consignments_11.png) 12.
