Set up a profit account

Converting to a profit account

By converting to a profit account, you become the seller of record and can earn a margin of the sales placed through your dispensary. To do so, you’ll need to enter your tax information and add a bank account to authorize direct deposit payouts. Converting to a profit account can be done at any time.

Instructions for US dispensaries

To convert a no-profit account to a profit account:

1. From the practitioner menu, select Set up profit account.

   

2. On the Business financials page, select a profit margin (%) and dispensary discount. Increasing the dispensary discount that applies to patient orders reduces your profit margin and vice versa. You can update your profit and dispensary discount any time by returning to this page.

   

3. Select your Business type and complete all required fields to provide your tax information. This is used to verify your identity and set up an account with our payment processor (Stripe). Select Individual if you’re not affiliating your dispensary with a business.

4. Further down the page, add a bank account to authorize direct deposit payouts.

5. Review Stripe’s Connected Account Agreement, then select Become a profit account from the bottom of the page to submit.

Tax implications

Profit account holders become the ‘seller of record’, inheriting the responsibility to report income earned from Fullscript to the Internal Revenue Service or Canada Revenue Agency come tax season.  Sales tax responsibility at the state level is maintained by Fullscript.

Receiving payouts

As orders are shipped, earnings accumulate and are later deposited directly into your bank account. By default, available earnings are paid every 30 days to the active bank account in your dispensary. You can view your current balance, bank account details, and next scheduled payout date from the Business financials page.

After your first payout, financial reports are generated to assist with filing your taxes and/or allocating payouts to staff members. Learn more about managing your reports for yourself and staff members in our Payout reports article.

Dispensary & patient discounts

Dispensary discounts apply to all patients in your dispensary and are stackable with individual patient discounts. All discount types apply to all products in your dispensary; discounts can’t be customized for specific products, brands, or protocols. The maximum discount extended to patients cannot exceed the maximum discount available for your region (35% in the US, and 25% in Canada).
