Explain the wholesale-to-retail model in one sentence
Connect Vendasta Payments so clients can pay you inside the platform
Set the retail price and margin on a product you resell
Read your Estimated Usage to know what you owe Vendasta this month

Getting paid runs on one relationship: you buy products from Vendasta at a wholesale price, and you sell them to your clients at the retail price you set. This step connects your payment method, sets your prices, and shows you the one page in Partner Center where you check what you owe each month.

Two prices on every product

Every product has two prices, and the difference between them is your margin. Flip each one:

Wholesale price
What Vendasta charges you while a product is active on an account. The wholesale billing frequency follows your Vendasta contract.
Retail price
What you charge your client, at the price and billing frequency you set. The Marketplace suggests a retail price; the decision is yours.

Each active product creates two matching subscriptions: a wholesale subscription from you to Vendasta, and a retail subscription from your client to you. You manage both from Partner Center.

Connect a way to get paid

You can collect from clients inside the platform with Vendasta Payments, or bill them your own way and collect outside the platform. Connecting Vendasta Payments lets a client pay an order or invoice with a card, and pays that revenue out to your bank account on a schedule.

To collect in-platform, connect Vendasta Payments in Partner Center under Commerce, then add the bank account you want revenue paid out to. When a client pays, funds are processed and then transferred to that account. When you are ready to connect, this guide walks you through Vendasta Payments.

Open CommercePayouts and read the status row at the top: upcoming payouts, funds in transit, and completed. This is where your money shows up once a client pays.

Set your retail prices

Pricing is yours to control. Open a product in the Marketplace to see its wholesale cost and a suggested retail price, then set the retail price and billing frequency that fit your market. Adjust pricing any time in MarketplaceProducts.

One fact keeps your numbers clean: a catalog price change applies to new subscriptions from then on. Existing clients keep the price they signed up at unless you edit their subscription directly, and an edit takes effect on the next billing cycle. When you need to change a live subscription, this guide covers subscription management.

Check what you owe each month

One page answers "what will I pay Vendasta this month?" Open AdministrationMy BillingEstimated Usage. It breaks down what you owe at month end based on the products currently active on your accounts.

The Active Subscriptions tab beside it shows which products are in the current billing cycle and when any of them expire. Together they are your monthly billing check.

Open AdministrationMy BillingEstimated Usage and find the current month. Even with nothing sold yet, this is the page you will return to first each month.
