Run clothing shop and don't want alterations to be on sales figures

Shopify Discussion

Topic summary

A clothing store owner uses Shopify POS and collects alteration payments from customers, which are passed directly to a local tailor—generating no profit for the business.

Problem:

  • Alteration payments currently appear in sales figures, distorting actual revenue metrics
  • Owner seeks to either exclude alterations from sales reports or prevent them from affecting overall sales data

Solution Provided:

  • Add the shop name as a vendor to products
  • Use the “Retail sales by product vendor” report to filter and view sales excluding alterations

Status: Resolved—the original poster confirmed the solution worked for their needs.

You can add your shop name as a vendor to your products, then use “Retail sales by product vendor” report. I think that should work.
