Understanding Storefront Sales Splits

Updated over a week ago

Storefront splits determine how sales credit is shared among Scouts working a storefront shift. Your unit selects one storefront split method for the entire season, and all storefront sales are calculated based on that selection.

Available Storefront Split Methods

Trail’s End offers three storefront split options:

Individual (Recommended)

  • Each Scout receives credit for the sales they personally record.

  • The Scout who enters the sale in the app receives full credit.

  • This method provides the most accuracy and transparency.

Best for: Units that want clear accountability and minimal adjustments. Rewarding Scouts for their individual effort.


Shift

  • Sales recorded during a shift are split evenly among all Scouts signed up for that shift.

  • All Scouts registered for the shift receive credit, regardless of who records the sales.

Best for: Units that staff multiple Scouts per shift and prefer shared credit.


Day

  • Sales are split among all Scouts working that storefront on the same day.

  • Credit is proportional to time worked.

    • A Scout working two shifts will receive twice the credit of a Scout working one shift.

  • Each storefront reservation is calculated independently, i.e. if you have reserved two storefronts that were split into morning and afternoon, they are considered two different storefronts.

Best for: Units that want time-based credit.


How to Set or Change Your Storefront Split Method

Unit Leaders can set or update the split method at any time.

Steps:

  1. Go to Unit Info in the left navigation menu.

  2. Expand the Storefront Settings section.

  3. Select your desired Calculation Method.

Important Notes:

  • Only one split method may be used for the season.

  • Changing the split method will recalculate all previous storefront sales using the new method.

  • Consider finalizing your split method before storefronts begin.


Multiple Scouts Recording Sales

  • If your unit uses Individual splits, the Scout who records the sale receives credit.

  • If your unit uses Shift or Day splits, all Scouts registered for the shift/day receive credit, regardless of who records the sale.
