Adding Consignors
Adding a Consignor Before creating a new consignor account, it's important to search through the existing consignor list to avoid creating duplicate accounts. Once confirmed, navigate to the Consignment Tab and select +Create New Consignor.
Additionally, if the new consignor has already been entered as a customer, you can easily convert the customer profile to a consignor account by selecting the Make Consignor option.
