New Definitions for Multiplicative and Additive Trade Differential


Additive vs Multiplicative Differential Percentage For Trade


Differential Percentage For Trade Items: This will provide a bonus in store credit to the consignor when selecting to receive payment in the form of store credit over cash.


Additive: With this option enabled, if you set the differential to 10%, then the trade value would be the price of the item multiplied by the trade differential percentage added to the cash value.


Additive Example: You have an item that is priced at $50.00.  Your split is 50/50, meaning the cash value of this item when processed would be $25.00 to the client.  The  trade differential set to 10%, that would make the store credit trade offer $30.00.


Formula For Additive Trade Example:


Price * Split percentage = Cash Value

Price  * Trade Differential = Additional Trade Value

Cash Value + Additional Trade Value = Total Trade Value


$50 * 50% = $25.00

$50 * 10% = $5.00

$25 + $5 = $30.00




1.Price + Split Percentage = Cash Value

50 * .50 = $25.00



2.Price * Differential Percentage = Additional Trade Value

50 * .10 = $5.00



3.Cash Value + Additional Trade Value =  Trade Value

25 + 5 = $30.00







Multiplicative: With this option enabled, if you set the differential to 10%, then the trade value would be 110% the cash value.



Multiplicative Example: You have an item that is priced at $50.00.  Your split is 50/50, meaning the cash value of this item when processed would be $25.00 to the client.  With the trade differential set to 10%, that would make the store credit trade offer $27.50.  



Formula For Multiplicative Example:  

Price * Split Percentage = Cash Value


Cash Value * Differential Percentage = Additional Trade Value


Additional Trade Value + Net to consignor = Total Trade value


$50 * 50% = $25

$25 * 10% = $2.50

$2.50+ $25.00 = $27.50



1.Price * Split Percentage = Cash Value

50 * .50 = $25.00 



2.Cash Value * Differential Percentage = Additional Trade Value

25 * .10 = $2.50     



3.Additional Trade Value + Cash Value = Total Trade Value

2.50 + 25 = $27.50 






Note: If an item has a Cost/Net amount set, this will override the calculation of the cash value and the new cash value of the item will be set to the amount specified under the Cost/Net field.
