What are Vendor Debts?

On a marketplace, a vendor sometimes owes you money: an overcharge you refunded, a return you paid for, a penalty, or an advance you gave them. Vendor Debts lets you record each of these against the vendor, with a reason and a description, and see what is still outstanding.

Find it at Vendors → Vendor Debts. Vendors see their own debts in the vendor panel under Debts.

Important: what works today

• Recording, listing and cancelling debts works.
• Debts come off payouts automatically. When you generate a payout batch, each vendor's active debts are repaid first, oldest first, each taking its Deduction Rate share of the payout. The batch shows how much went to debts, and the vendor is paid the rest. A fully repaid debt is marked paid.
• The module needs CartWhizz to switch it on for your store. If the module page or list shows an error that the feature is not enabled, contact CartWhizz support.
