At Handmade Co-Op, we believe transparency and consistency matter. That’s why both rent payments and vendor payouts follow the same simple bi-monthly rhythm, so everyone stays in sync.Vendor
Vendor Payouts:
- Payouts for your sales are also made on the 1st and 15th of each month.
- Each payout covers all transactions recorded and settled during the prior pay period.
- Sales reports are shared weekly for full visibility.
Rent:
- Rent is collected twice a month, in two equal installments.
- Payments are due on the 1st and 15th of each month.

- Whenever possible, rent will be automatically deducted from your sales payout balance.
- If your payout balance doesn’t fully cover the rent amount, the remaining balance is due via Zelle within 48 hours of notification.
