# Try the demo store

Start > Welcome · Guide · https://vendordue.com/docs/try-the-demo-store

**In short:** The demo store is Juniper Row, a made-up shop with three months of sales, payouts and payments already in it. Open it at demo.vendordue.com with no install and no sign-in. Press anything you like; nothing you change is saved.

Before you install, you can see VendorDue on a store that has been selling for three months. Open **demo.vendordue.com**, or press **Explore the demo store** on the VendorDue site, on Pricing, or on the plan page inside Shopify, where it opens in a new tab.

## What's in it

Juniper Row sells for sixteen vendors:

- **Consignors** get 60% of each sale, and 70% of anything that sells for $100 or more.
- **Makers** get 70%, and pay $75 a month in booth rent, which comes off their payouts.
- **One artist** gets 65% under a six-month written agreement.

Sales wait until they ship, then through a 14-day return window. Payouts land on the 1st and the 15th for any vendor owed $25 or more. Consignors are paid by check and everyone else by bank transfer, and one vendor is still waiting to be paid. There are refunds, a return that came after its payout, and a vendor archived while they were still owed.

The store is built again every night, so its last day is always today.

## Three places to start

The lime band across the top has three links:

- **Open a sale** opens one sale from the order to the payment, with a refund that came after the payout that carried it.
- **See who gets paid next** opens **Payouts**: who is owed, and on which day.
- **See it as a vendor** opens Larkspur Vintage's own page, the way one of your vendors would see it. **Back to the store** returns.

## Saving

Everything works until it would change the store. Press **Save**, **Send now**, **Record payment** or **Invite**, and a short note says "In your store this saves." The demo stays as it is for the next person.

Downloads work: statements, receipts, reports and files for your accountant download as they would in your own store. **Settings > Billing** shows both plans, but plans are chosen in your own store.

The demo never sends an email, never reaches PayPal or Shopify, and nobody in it is real.

## Leaving

Press **Leave the demo** in the band. You go back to where you came from: your Shopify admin if you opened the demo from the plan page, otherwise the VendorDue site.

> **Good to know:** The demo has an address of its own, demo.vendordue.com. vendordue.com and your Shopify admin always show your own store, even while the demo is open in another tab.

## When it looks wrong

### The demo says it's getting ready

The demo is built for the first time, or built again after a change to VendorDue. Try again in a few minutes.
