Which sources actually make you money
Track where your inventory comes from and rank your sources by realized profit — not by what you hoped the items would sell for.
A supplier in PalmFlow is wherever an item came from — a thrift chain, an estate sale, a wholesaler, a particular auction house, or a person. Attach a source to your items and PalmFlow can answer the question that decides how you spend Saturday: which of these is actually worth the drive?
Suppliers are part of the paid plans.
Ranked on realized profit, not hope
Each source shows items sourced, total spent, and profit realized in the last 90 days — taken from sold orders, not from what unsold items are listed at.
That distinction is the whole feature. Ranking sources by listing value rewards optimistic pricing: the source that produced twenty things you priced high and never sold will look like your best one. Only sold orders count here.
Return per dollar
Alongside total profit, each source shows what it returned per dollar spent. A source you spend $2,000 at and one you spend $80 at aren't comparable on totals alone — the small one may be the better use of an hour, and this is the column that shows it.
The "no source" bucket
Items with no supplier attached are grouped separately. It's worth keeping an eye on: if most of your inventory sits there, the ranking above is describing a minority of your buying and will mislead you. Bulk edit can attach a source to many items at once — see Bulk edits and custom fields.
Common questions
How can I tell which sourcing spots are worth my time?
PalmFlow ranks each source by the profit its items have actually realized in the last 90 days, taken from sold orders rather than from list prices, and shows return per dollar spent so a cheap source isn't flattered by volume.
