Sell Orders overview

How sell orders work in Restock.

A sell order records the sale of one or more inventory items to a customer. You can also create a sell order for a walk-in customer by skipping customer information.

Statuses

Sell orders use one of these statuses:

  • Complete — The sale is finished (default for new orders).
  • Pending — The sale is not yet finalized.
  • Cancelled — The order was cancelled.

Key concepts

  • Entries — Each item sold is a sell order entry with its own sale price. Profit is calculated from the item's cost and sale price.
  • Customers — Optional. You can link an order to a customer or leave it as a walk-in sale.
  • Payments — One or more payment methods per order. Split payments must sum to the order total.
  • Grouping — Entries can be viewed and displayed grouped by attributes such as model, condition, color, storage, and similar.
  • Financial view — A spreadsheet-style view that shows purchase cost, sale price, and projected profit for selected items before you save the order.

Financial view

Use Financial view when you want to review margins before completing a sale.

  • Purchase is the item's buy order cost plus the latest actual repair cost, when one exists.
  • Sale is the sale price entered for the item on the sell order.
  • Projected profit is sale price minus purchase cost.

Projected profit is a planning number. It does not include refunds, payment processing fees, disputes, taxes, or other post-sale adjustments.
