ConsignNest angle
Built for sellers who already have sales channels.
Most consignment operators do not need to replace eBay, Whatnot, Shopify, Square, Instagram, or in-person sales on day one. They need a reliable source of truth for who owns each item, what happened to it, and what payout is owed after fees.
Capture owner, condition, price terms, split, storage, and notes before listing.
Attach channel, gross sale, platform fees, shipping, and net sale to the item.
Group sold unpaid items by consignor and keep a statement-ready snapshot.
