Admin walkthrough — creating a batch

1. Open Vendors → Payout Batches. The top shows Total Batches, Pending Batches and Processing.
2. Click Create Batch.
3. Choose Period Start and Period End. All sellers with confirmed commissions in that period are included.
4. Add Notes if you like, for example Week 42, paid via HDFC bulk upload.
5. Click Preview. The Preview Results list each seller with orders, gross, commission and net amount, and the totals.
6. Check the numbers. If something looks wrong, change the dates or fix it before creating.
7. Click Confirm & Create Batch. The batch gets a number like PAY-20261020-… and status Pending.

If you see No vendors with confirmed commission entries found in this period, there is nothing ready to pay for those dates.

The same commissions can only be in one batch. Creating another batch for the same dates will not pay sellers twice.
