How to re-assign vendors to items in the vendor reports

Upon installation of the PuppetVendors app, chances are, your vendors/seller names on your store are not properly set up, and you would like to do so before importing your orders. Once you have imported the orders, you may also realize that a setup/change is required.

Note that when you make a change to your vendor/seller on your Shopify store, the changes do not apply to existing orders. Given this, you have to manually re-assign them from within the app for past orders. New orders will automatically be assigned to the correct vendor/seller going forward.

To re-assign your vendors through the PuppetVendors app, go to Vendors > Manage Vendors (Commissions and Profile) > choose your vendor and click the Reports link.

Where to find vendor reports

Upon clicking the reports link, you can choose the items you want to re-assign and click the Edit Selection button.

Choose your items for re-assigning

A pop-up window will appear. From under the Re-assign Items/Delete Items sub-tab, go to the Re-assign Items to field and choose the new vendor the items will be re-assigned to.
