The problem

Consignment runs on four tools that never agree.

A consigned item carries an owner, a split, a channel, and a settlement date. Split that across a spreadsheet, a till, an inbox, and Shopify, and the truth drifts a little more every day.

See what the patchwork costs

Staff ask where items stand

Status, ownership, and next action live across messages and tabs, so every question needs archaeology.

Shopify is asked to own operations

It can sell the item, but it has no idea who owns it, what the split is, or when the seller gets paid.

Payouts become hand-built

Splits, deductions, statements, and approvals get stitched together at the end of the month.

Sellers call for updates

The same three questions, every week: has it sold, what am I owed, when do I get paid.

How it works

One record follows the item, end to end.

Six moments, one connected trail. Every step updates the same record the whole team reads.

  1. 1

    Intake

    Log seller, terms, and condition at drop-off.

  2. 2

    Review

    Authenticate, price, and approve for sale.

  3. 3

    List

    Publish to the floor, Shopify, or both.

  4. 4

    Sell

    The sale lands on the right item and owner.

  5. 5

    Split

    Commission rules run the numbers instantly.

  6. 6

    Payout

    Batch, approve, and pay with evidence.

Product proof

One connected system for daily resale operations.

The system is built around the work: item records, seller ownership, audit history, channel sync, and payout readiness.

Compare

Why generic tools struggle with consignment.

See all comparisons
Shopify

Great storefront and checkout.

Does not own seller records, commission splits, or payout path.

Spreadsheets

Quick to start and familiar.

Flexible until item status, seller balance, and statements diverge.

Generic POS

Good for ordinary retail transactions.

Usually misses seller ownership, resale lifecycle, and audit history.

ConsignEase

Consignment-native operations.

Built around intake, ownership, channel sync, and payouts.
