I would love to get a demo of your app, is there a way we can set this up? I can be emailed at bryan@talkinbaseball.com. Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks.
Topic summary
A retail gift store owner with 150 consignment vendors shares experiences testing multiple consignment management apps integrated with Shopify POS. The original poster identifies a key gap: most apps are designed for resale/used goods shops rather than stores that restock consigned products alongside owned inventory.
Apps Discussed:
- Vendor Consignment (Visceral): Currently recommended as best option - affordable, good customer service, effective for restocking consignment models
- Ricochet & Aravenda (formerly Resale Global): Not recommended due to limited Shopify integration and data sync issues causing duplicate vendor payments
- ConsignMint: Newer app praised by users for vendor self-entry capability and seamless Shopify integration
- Circle-Hand & Consignify: Recently launched alternatives with AI features and consignor portals
Common Pain Points:
- Vendor onboarding and inventory upload processes create confusion
- Need for vendor self-service product entry without sacrificing quality control
- QuickBooks integration for proper COGS tracking
- Bulk markdown and product expiry management
- Spreadsheet-based tracking becomes unsustainable at scale
Multiple store owners express interest in solutions allowing vendor self-entry while maintaining control over product presentation. The discussion remains active with app developers joining to offer demos and trials.
Hi Bryan, I just responded to your email. Thanks!
Hello! Sorry I missed this message. Visceral Consignment offers demos I believeā¦ contact them directly. And beyond that, feel free to reach out to me about any reference questions.
Hi all. Iāve just released a new shopify app to manage consignment, called Consignify. I built this for my wifeās second-hand shop, and sheās been using it for about 8 months. We decided others might like it as well, so Iāve put a good deal of effort into polishing, hardening, and documenting it, and itās now available on the App Store.
Itās brand new and Iād love to get some early users (aside from our own store) to try it and give feedback on what works well, and whatās needed to make it as useful as possible for your workflows. Iāve got it set with a generous 60 day trial, and I can help with data migration for the first users (Iāll update the docs as I go to help others do the same). I can also offer discounts for the first year to users willing to give feedback and work with me to improve the app. Iād love to make Consignify the gold standard for consignment on Shopify!

I would just add that Consignify should work well for shops that sell new products as well as second hand. Products are managed in the usual Shopify admin ā Consignify just allows for consignor information to be attached to products (in Shopify), and the sales and commissions tracked. Restocking, inventory, variant management, and all the usual Shopify stuff doesnāt change at all. @BrennaCGCo ā Iām two years late but this might be along the lines of what you were looking for? If not, Iām open to your thoughts on what might be missing for shops like yours.
