ConsignEase vs Ricochet

POS-first or workflow-first: pick deliberately.

Ricochet is a resale POS with consignment features. ConsignEase is a consignment workflow system that treats the till and Shopify as channels. The right choice depends on which half of the job hurts more.

Our position

If your bottleneck is the counter — ringing up sales fast, barcode workflows, cash drawer discipline — a POS-first product like Ricochet deserves a serious look. If your bottleneck is everything around the sale — intake backlog, seller updates, split accuracy, payout evidence — then a workflow-first system is the better frame. ConsignEase is unapologetically the second thing, with UK-first defaults.

Centre of gravity

The item lifecycle: intake, listing, sale, split, payout, with channels attached around it.

Ask whether consignment features are core workflow or attached to the till.

Seller visibility

A live seller portal with status, balances, and statements is part of the core product.

Check how sellers get updates and whether that flow requires staff time.

Payout evidence

Batches carry statements, approvals, and audit history that survive staff turnover.

Ask to see what a seller dispute six months after a payout looks like to resolve.

Online channel

Shopify sync with owner attribution and single-unit stock truth, or a built-in storefront.

Confirm how online sales connect back to consignors, splits, and return windows.

UK fit

UK-first: GBP, UK resale vocabulary, and workflows for dress agencies.

Confirm currency, terminology, and support hours for UK stores.

Ricochet capabilities change over time. This page explains the ConsignEase approach and the questions worth asking in any evaluation, rather than claiming a feature checklist for another product.
