Consignor Ledger

Consignment shops see what each consignor sold and what they are owed.

Nobody has claimed this yet. Be first.

The idea

Small consignment and resale shops take items from many people and pay them a share when things sell. This app tags each item to a consignor, records sales, and shows every consignor a balance so payout day is calm instead of a spreadsheet scramble.

Who it is for
Owners of clothing, furniture and kids consignment shops
How it makes money
Monthly subscription per shop
