Run Sale-Wide Discounts Without Repricing a Single Tag

Consignment Helper's One-Click Discounts let you run "50% off everything" promotions with a single settings change. No mental math for cashiers, no repricing items, no stickers over barcodes. Set the discount percentage once; it applies automatically to every transaction across all registers. When the promotion ends, turn it off just as easily.

The Challenge: Last-Day Discounts Used to Be a Nightmare

Final day of your sale. You want to clear inventory with a "Half Off Everything!" promotion. Sounds simple, right? With traditional systems, it's anything but. You have three bad options:

  • Reprice every item - Impossible. You have thousands of items.
  • Cashiers calculate 50% off - Error-prone. Under pressure, math mistakes happen constantly.
  • Honor system - Confusing. Customers and cashiers disagree about what the discount should be.

The result? Many organizers skip final-day discounts entirely, leaving money and inventory on the table. Or they run the promotion but deal with errors, disputes, and stressed-out volunteers all day.

How One-Click Discounts Work

Set it once, applies everywhere. Here's the entire process.

1

Set the Discount

Open the Discount Configuration screen. Enter "50" for 50% off. Tap Save. That's it-you've activated sale-wide pricing.

2

Automatic Application

Every item scanned at every register now shows the discounted price. Cashiers don't do anything different-the discount just happens.

3

Turn It Off Anytime

When the promotion ends, set the discount back to 0. Instant return to regular pricing. No cleanup required.

Original Tags Stay

Tags show original prices-the discount calculates at checkout. Consignors see what their items were priced at, shoppers see what they pay.

Turn discounts on or off in seconds. Start a flash sale, end it when you want-complete control.

Real-World Example: The Sunday Clearance

The Valley View Children's Consignment Sale runs Thursday through Sunday. By Sunday morning, they still have significant inventory. At 8:55 AM-five minutes before doors open-the organizer decides to run 50% off everything.

She opens the admin panel, navigates to Discount Configuration, enters "50," and saves. All 6 registers now show discounted pricing. Cashiers don't need to be told anything-when they scan items, the 50% off price appears automatically.

A $20 dress? Shows as $10 at checkout. A $6 toy? Shows as $3. No confusion, no calculator needed, no disputes with customers. By noon, they've moved $4,200 in merchandise that might otherwise have been returned to consignors or donated.

At 3 PM, she turns the discount off for the last hour at regular prices. Total time spent managing the promotion: about 60 seconds.
