Sellers
In Newclear, Sellers represent your vendors, suppliers, or consignment partners — the businesses or individuals who provide the products you sell. Assigning a seller to a product enables vendor-based filtering, reporting, and commission tracking.

What Are Sellers?
Sellers are your product sources — not your customers. Examples:
- A furniture manufacturer you buy from wholesale
- An individual who consigns items for sale in your store
- A brand whose products you carry
- A subsidiary or brand under your business umbrella
Every product can be assigned to exactly one seller. Sellers appear in:
- Product filters
- Reports (revenue by seller, margin by seller)
- Purchase history
- User assignment (linking a staff member to a seller)

The Sellers page shows all configured sellers with:

Seller Reporting
From Sales & Finance → Reports → By Seller:
- Revenue by Seller — How much revenue each seller's products generated
- Units Sold by Seller — Volume breakdown
- Margin by Seller — Gross profit per seller (requires cost data)
- Inventory Value by Seller — Current stock worth per vendor
These reports are useful for:
- Evaluating vendor performance
- Negotiating terms with top-performing suppliers
- Identifying slow-moving vendor lines
Sellers and Users
You can associate a Newclear user with a seller. This is useful for:
- Sales staff who represent specific vendors
- Consignment sellers who have limited login access to view their own inventory and sales
- Tracking which staff member manages which vendor relationship
See Users & Accounts for how to link a user to a seller.
