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.

1 1. Intake with proof

Capture owner, condition, price terms, split, storage, and notes before listing.

2 2. Record the sale

Attach channel, gross sale, platform fees, shipping, and net sale to the item.

3 3. Approve payouts

Group sold unpaid items by consignor and keep a statement-ready snapshot.
