A UK-first alternative to SimpleConsign.
SimpleConsign is an established US-built consignment platform. ConsignEase is built UK-first, Shopify-native, and founder-led. Here is how to compare them properly.
SimpleConsign has served consignment stores for years, especially in North America. ConsignEase is the newer entrant: UK vocabulary and VAT context, Shopify as a first-class channel, a seller portal included in the core price, and direct founder onboarding during the pilot. If you want a long-established platform with a large installed base, evaluate SimpleConsign seriously. If you want UK-first workflows and a say in the roadmap, that is our pitch.
UK fit
Built UK-first: GBP, UK resale vocabulary including dress agencies, and UK-based support hours.
Ask how US-centric defaults, terminology, and support hours work for a UK store.
Seller portal
Included in the core product: live status, balances, statements, and documents for every seller.
Check what the consignor portal includes, and whether it is part of the base plan or an add-on.
Shopify workflow
Shopify is a first-class channel: listings out, order signals back, splits applied automatically.
Ask how the Shopify integration handles single-unit stock, returns, and owner attribution.
Payout evidence
Batches with statements, owner approval, and an untouched audit trail per payout.
Walk through a full payout run, including how deductions and disputes are evidenced.
Onboarding
Founder-led during the pilot: migration from your current records is done with you.
Ask what migration help is included and what it costs.
SimpleConsign 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.
