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

1. Go to **/organizer/workspace**.
2. Click **Create Workspace**.
3. Give the workspace a name. This is your business name — it appears in shared analytics and on the consignor portal.
4. Click **Invite Organizers** and enter their email addresses.
5. 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

1. Go to **/organizer/workspace**.
2. Find the member in the list.
3. 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.
