Cloud POS Built for Seasonal Consignment Sales

The checkout line is where your entire consignment sale comes together. Every item that consignors spent hours tagging, every volunteer shift you coordinated, every marketing email you sent-it all leads to this moment. When checkout runs smoothly, customers leave happy, consignors see their items sell, and your organization hits its fundraising goals. When it doesn't, you face refund requests, frustrated shoppers who abandon their carts, and volunteers who swear they'll never help again.

Traditional retail POS systems weren't designed for the unique challenges of seasonal consignment events. They assume trained employees, permanent installations, and consistent inventory. Your reality is different: volunteer cashiers who've never used your system, a venue that changes every season, and thousands of unique items that exist for just one weekend. You need a checkout solution that embraces these constraints rather than fighting against them.

Consignment Helper's Cloud POS was built from the ground up for exactly this scenario. It runs entirely in a web browser, so there's nothing to install and no special equipment to purchase. Your volunteers can start checking out customers within minutes of sitting down at a register. And because it's cloud-based, you can add checkout stations on the fly when lines get long-just open another laptop and log in.

The result? Faster checkout times, happier customers, and more sales. Organizations using Consignment Helper report processing customers in under 10 seconds on average, compared to 30+ seconds with manual systems or poorly-designed software. That difference adds up to hundreds of additional transactions over a busy sale weekend.

Picture your typical Saturday morning rush. The doors open at 8 AM, and within minutes you have a line of eager shoppers stretching out the door. With traditional systems, this is where the stress begins-registers freeze, volunteers panic, and customers get frustrated waiting.

With Consignment Helper's Cloud POS, your volunteers are ready. They scan the first barcode and instantly see the item description, price, and consignor number. Scan, scan, scan-the cart fills up in seconds. The customer pays with card or cash, the receipt prints (or emails), and they're on their way. Average transaction time: under 10 seconds.

When the line suddenly doubles, you don't panic. You grab a spare laptop from the back, open a browser, log in, and you have another fully-functional register in 30 seconds. No installations, no IT support calls, no waiting. Your cloud-based system just works.

And when a customer realizes they left their wallet in the car? Your cashier taps "Hold," helps the next three customers in line, then restores the original transaction when the customer returns. No re-scanning, no starting over, no lost sales.
