How Profits Work
Not every store or customer will want to sell their swag but if you choose to do so you may end up incurring profits! At this time if you do earn a profit you have two ways to redeem them. We can either 1) apply them to your account as an account balance or 2) apply them to your open invoices as a credit.
- Account Balance: if you choose this option all profits will be added to the account as a balance which you can then use on future purchases. When placing an order, such as for inventory, you will have the option to apply your balance to the purchase. Please note that when using this feature we DO DEDUCT Giveaway Campaign charges from your balance automatically.
- Open Invoice Credit: alternatively, you can have your profits applied to open invoices. We will credit your profits against any open invoices to reduce your balance due prior to sending you your open invoices each month. You must be on invoicing to use this feature.
- NOTE: At this time we cannot pay your profits out via ACH, check or any other method. You must select one of the options above. We also cannot separate profits from stores. In other words, if you have a HR store earning profits and a Marketing Store earning profits, we cannot separate the account balance or credits by store. All profits will be applied at the account level and deducted at an account level.
