Line-item linking
This is the feature that replaces VLOOKUPs and hidden spreadsheet errors. When you log a payout, you select the specific line items it covers — not just an order. The system:- Marks each linked item as paid
- Flags items still waiting on payout
- Pulls payout totals into reporting profit calculations
Audit unpaid items
To find line items still waiting on a payout:- Open the Orders page or the Items tab.
- Filter for status not equal to Paid.
- Cross-check shipment dates — anything delivered more than ~30 days ago without a payout is worth following up on.
Payout statuses
- Pending — payout expected but not received
- Paid — payout received and linked
- Disputed — buying group claims an issue with the order

What if a payout is for less than I expected?
What if a payout is for less than I expected?
Log it for the actual amount received and link only the items that were paid. Leave the rest unpaid so they show up in your unpaid-items audit.
Can I bulk-link multiple line items at once?
Can I bulk-link multiple line items at once?
