Connect your workspace (multi-organizer setup)
A Workspace is a shared account layer that lets multiple organizers collaborate under one business. Each organizer keeps their own account and their own sales — the workspace connects them so you can see everything in one place.
Workspaces require the Teams plan.

Who workspaces are for
Workspaces solve a specific problem: you have more than one person who runs sales, and you want them to operate independently while you see the full picture.
Good fits:
- Estate sale companies where multiple crew leads each run their own sales under the company name
- Auction houses where different auctioneers manage their own auction rosters
- Co-op flea market operators where vendors each manage their own booths but share a common storefront presence
- Multi-location consignment shops where each location has its own manager
If you have one organizer and a few helpers, you want [staff accounts](/guides/add-staff) instead — that's a simpler setup.

How workspaces differ from staff accounts
The distinction matters:
| | Staff accounts | Workspace members | |---|---|---| | Their own organizer account | No | Yes | | Can run their own sales | No | Yes | | Their own Stripe payout | No | Yes | | Appear in shared analytics | No | Yes | | Shared subscription billing | N/A | Yes — under workspace owner's Teams plan |
A staff member works *under your account*. A workspace member is their own organizer who has *joined your workspace*. They're peers, not subordinates.

How to set up a workspace
- Go to /organizer/workspace.
- Click Create Workspace.
- Give the workspace a name. This is your business name — it appears in shared analytics and on the consignor portal.
- Click Invite Organizers and enter their email addresses.
- Each invited organizer receives an email. When they accept, their account links to the workspace.
Invited organizers must already have a FindA.Sale account or create one when they accept the invite. They don't need to be on a Teams plan themselves — the workspace owner's Teams subscription covers everyone in the workspace.

What workspace members share
Shared across the workspace:
- Aggregate analytics — total sales volume, item counts, and revenue across all members, visible to everyone in the workspace
- Billing — one Teams subscription covers all workspace members; the workspace owner's card is charged
- Consignor list — clients who submit items through the consignor portal are shared across the workspace, so any member can receive and price their submissions
- Business identity — the workspace name and branding apply to the shared storefront
---
What workspace members keep separate
Not shared — stays per-organizer:
- Sale revenue — each organizer's sales and earnings are their own
- Stripe payouts — each organizer connects their own Stripe account; payouts go directly to them, not to the workspace owner
- Individual sale management — each organizer creates, edits, and runs their own sales independently
- Item inventory — one organizer can't edit another organizer's items
The workspace owner sees aggregate numbers but cannot move money between members or access another member's payout settings.
---
Removing a member from a workspace
- Go to /organizer/workspace.
- Find the member in the list.
- Click Remove.
Their access to workspace analytics and the shared consignor list is revoked immediately. Their own organizer account stays active — they can still run their own sales. They just lose the workspace connection.

Common questions
Can a workspace member be on a different plan? Workspace members don't need their own paid plan — the workspace owner's Teams subscription covers them while they're part of the workspace. If they leave the workspace, they revert to whatever plan they had before joining.
What if two workspace members want to work the same sale together? They can't co-own a single sale — each sale belongs to one organizer. For collaborative sales, one organizer creates the sale and uses staff accounts to bring in the other organizer as a Manager. The two tools work together.
Can I be part of more than one workspace? Yes. If you work with two separate businesses, you can accept invites from both. You switch between workspace views from the account menu.
Does the workspace owner get a cut of other members' revenue? No. The workspace is a coordination layer, not a revenue-sharing arrangement. Each organizer keeps 100% of their earnings (minus the 10% platform fee). If your business arrangement involves revenue sharing, that's handled outside FindA.Sale.
Can I rename or delete a workspace? Yes. Both options are in /organizer/workspace → Settings. Deleting a workspace removes the shared connection — all member accounts remain intact.
How many organizers can be in one workspace? There's no hard cap. The Teams plan is priced per workspace, not per seat.
