1. Aspects of consignment sales

Consignment sales are more than just a business model – they’re a way to promote sustainability. This system allows shops to resell items while strengthening connections in the local community. Sellers bring in their items, the shop displays them, and when an item sells, the seller gets part of the profit while the shop takes a commission.

2. Features and benefits of the free software template for consignment

With our second-hand consignment Airtable template, managing consignment items becomes more efficient. From easily adding new items via a mobile app to automatically generating receipts for consignors – every step is designed to simplify daily operations.

• Simple Consignor Registration: A user-friendly form lets consignors sign up easily. Their consigned items are automatically linked to their profile.

• Quick Item Entry: Add new items in seconds using the mobile app and attach photos. Each item gets a barcode, which can be scanned with the Airtable app. This makes finding and tracking items a breeze (labels can be ordered online)

• Automatic Receipt Generation: The "Page Designer" tool creates a document listing all the consignor's items. This document can be downloaded and sent as a receipt.

• Seamless Sales Processing: When an item sells, just scan the barcode with the Airtable app. The system marks it as sold and automatically calculates the consignor’s commission. The "Commissioners" table keeps track of each consignor’s total earnings.

• Clear Transaction Tracking: The "Transactions" table logs all payments and automatically updates the consignor’s balance in the "Commissioners" table. Payments can also be recorded with a receipt.

3. Automated notifications with Integromat

Whenever an item sells, an automated email or SMS can notify the consignor with details like their updated commission balance. (Emails are free; SMS costs €0.07 per message.) This Airtable template doesn’t just simplify management—it helps optimize and automate your entire consignment process.
