| New Intake | Top right of the intakes list | Opens a blank drop-off form. | Use it the moment a consignor hands you pairs, so nothing gets written on a sticky note. |
| Import Shopify sheet | Top right of the intakes list | Builds a drop-off from a spreadsheet exported out of Shopify instead of typing pairs one by one. | Use it when a consignor sends you a long list, or when you are moving an existing Shopify store into AIM. |
| Refresh | Top right of the intakes list (circular arrow) | Reloads the list so recent drop-offs and status changes show up. | Use it after someone else on your team submits or receives a drop-off. |
| Export CSV | Top right of the intakes list (download arrow) | Downloads the drop-offs currently shown — filters and all — as a spreadsheet. | Use it when settling up with a consignor or handing records to your bookkeeper. |
| Search | Left panel of the intakes list | Finds a drop-off by its number, its notes, the consignor, or any product, SKU, or barcode inside it. | Use it when a consignor asks “did you ever take in my size 10 Panda?”. |
| Status | Left panel filters | Narrows the list to Draft, Submitted, In Review, Approved, Received, or Cancelled drop-offs. You can tick more than one. | Tick “Submitted” and “In Review” to see everything still waiting on your decision. |
| Consignor | Left panel filters | Limits the list to one consignor. | Use it before an export when you are reconciling with a single person. |
| Intake date from / Intake date to | Left panel filters | Limits the list to drop-offs dated inside a window. | Use it to pull “everything taken in last month”. |
| Sort by | Left panel filters | Reorders the list — newest, oldest, by drop-off number, by status, by most items, or by highest value. | Switch to “Highest value” when you want to handle the biggest drop-offs first. |
| Progress column | Intakes list table | Shows how many pairs in that drop-off have been dealt with out of the total, e.g. 6 / 12. | Scan it to spot a drop-off that was half-reviewed and then forgotten. |
| Previous / Next and page numbers | Above the intakes table | Moves through the list 50 drop-offs at a time. | Use it when the counter says you are only seeing part of the list. |
| View intake (eye icon) / row click | Intakes list row | Opens the full details for that drop-off. The three-dot menu has the same “View details” action. | Use it to review, receive, or print labels for a drop-off. |
| Intake Date | New intake form, Basic Information | Records the day the pairs physically arrived. Defaults to today. | Back-date it if you are writing up a drop-off that landed earlier in the week. |
| Scan Products | New intake form, Scan Items | Reads a box barcode with a handheld scanner and looks up the matching size. Every scan stacks up in a panel on the left. | Use it for a pile of boxes — it is much faster than searching each pair by name. |
| Apply All / Clear All | Scan panel, left of the new intake form | Apply All drops every recognised scan into the product list (repeat scans of the same size add up). Clear All throws the scans away. | Scan the whole pile first, then hit Apply All once. |
| Add Individual Item | New intake form, Products | Adds one blank row you fill in by typing a product name. | Use it for a pair with no barcode, or when the scanner is not to hand. |
| Add Product Variants | New intake form, Products | Opens a full-screen picker so you can tick many sizes across several products at once. | Use it when someone drops off a size run — e.g. sizes 8 through 13 of the same shoe. |
| Create Custom Product | New intake form, Products | Takes you off to build a product that is not in the catalog yet, then brings you back to the drop-off. | Use it for an obscure or vintage pair that search cannot find. |
| Qty | New intake form, product row | How many identical pairs of that size the consignor handed over. Locked at 1 for anything not graded New, because each worn pair is its own item. | Raise it only for sealed, brand-new duplicates. |
| Condition | New intake form, product row | Grades the shoe itself — New, Refurbished, Tried On, VNDS, or the worn grades. | Grade honestly at drop-off; it drives how the pair is listed and priced later. |
| Box Condition | New intake form, product row | Records the state of the box (good box, damaged box, no box, and any other grades your store uses). | Set it while the box is in your hand — you will not remember later. |
| Listing Price | New intake form, product row | The price the pair will be offered at. Required on every row before the drop-off can be created. | Enter the number you and the consignor agreed on. |
| Payout | New intake form, product row | What the consignor gets when it sells. It fills in automatically from their commission rate once you type a listing price, and you can type over it. | Override it only when you agreed a special split for that pair. |
| Notes | New intake form, Additional Information | A free-text note stored with the whole drop-off. | Use it for things like “left the receipt in box 3” or “consignor wants unsold pairs back by the 30th”. |
| Create Consignment Intake | Bottom right of the new intake form | Saves the drop-off and gives it a number. | Once every pair has a listing price. Until then the button rejects the form. |
| Submit for Approval | Top right of a Draft drop-off | Moves the drop-off out of draft so the pairs can be reviewed one by one. | Use it once the write-up is complete and accurate. |
| Review Items / Approve All | Top right of a submitted drop-off, and above the item list | Jumps to the item list, or accepts every still-undecided pair in one click. | Approve All when the whole drop-off checked out; otherwise work down the list. |
| Approve / Deny | Item row on the drop-off details page | Accepts that pair, or turns it down. Deny asks for an optional reason that stays on the record. | Deny a pair that arrived damaged, fake, or that you simply will not take. |
| Mark Approved | Top right of the drop-off details page | Closes out the review once every pair has a decision and moves the drop-off to receiving. | Use it after the last pair has been accepted or turned down. |
| Receive Items | Top right of an approved drop-off | Opens the receiving window where you choose a location, scan or count the pairs, and turn them into real stock. | When the accepted pairs are physically going onto your shelves. |
| Receive to Location / Scan to Receive | Receiving window | Sets which location the stock lands in, and lets you scan a barcode or SKU to add one to that row’s count. | Pick the location first, then scan each box as you shelve it. |
| Receive All Remaining / Clear | Receiving window | Fills in every outstanding pair at once, or resets the counts back to zero. | Use Receive All Remaining when the whole approved batch arrived intact. |
| Receive Selected Items | Bottom of the receiving window | Commits the counts you entered. Those pairs become sellable stock at that location. | Only when the physical count in front of you matches what is on screen — you can receive part of a drop-off now and the rest later. |
| Line item search, sort, and status filter | Above the item list on the drop-off details page | Finds one pair by name, SKU, size, or barcode; reorders the list alphabetically or by the order added; and hides everything except Pending, Approved, or Denied. | Use the status filter on a big drop-off to see only what still needs a decision. |
| Print labels | Three-dot menu, top right of the drop-off details page | Opens label printing for the pairs in this drop-off. | Print box labels right after receiving so every pair is scannable on the shelf. |
| Set up products (shown as “Configure N products”) | Three-dot menu and the orange banner on the details page | Fills in the missing store details for products that are not ready to sell yet, so they can be created on Shopify and keep their counts in sync. | Whenever the orange banner appears — until then those pairs have no storefront listing. |
| Retry Shopify sync | Three-dot menu and the Shopify banner | Tries again to push received quantities to Shopify for pairs whose sync failed. | After fixing whatever the banner complained about, such as a missing product setup. |
| Undo receive | Three-dot menu of a received drop-off | Reverses the receive: the stock is removed, emptied marketplace listings come down, Shopify counts are corrected, and the drop-off goes back to Approved. | Use it when you received the wrong pairs or the wrong location. It refuses if any of those pairs already sold. |
