Get One-Pay Consignment SoftwareSoftware for Busy Shop Owners
Simple software that's low-priced, easy to learn (with videos) so stores on tight budgets can learn quickly at low cost.
Your skills are in customer relations, business planning and operating, employee management and administration - amongst others.
If computers and Windows and peripherals and software aren't your thing, we understand, and that's why Best Consignment Shop Software is designed with ease of use in mind.
Everything in BCSS is 'on top' - within 1 click (or 2) of tasks to perform and information to retrieve. Here is the entire consignment process simplified and automated:
- Press F2 on the keyboard to add a new consignor.
- On the new-consignor page, press a button to save the new record and open a screen to add that person's inventory.
- On the add-inventory screen, the program will have already filled in the consignor ID, item number, barcode, date in, consignor %, path to the picture folder, quantity and category - all of which can be edited. All that's needed in a description and price. Quick!
- On the same inventory screen, press a button to save the new items to inventory and print price labels - or not.
- Multiple discount schedules are available, allowing for different categories of inventory to be marked down at various periods of time and amount.
- For tight budgets, price labels and tags print from an ink printer and on sheets of labels and tags.
- For stores with large inventories, labels and tags print from rolls of stock using a label printer. (2-year warranty, no sales tax)
- Pressing F6 opens the new-sale screen, ready for a barcode scan. Six ways to add an item to the sales invoice, including items not entered into inventory yet.
- When an item is entered, the program will have entered the item's ID, the item's description, the price, quantity, correct sales tax, consignor and any applicable discounts. All can be edited except the ID.
- If credit card is the method of payment, the program will auto enter the sale amount as the amount of payment (which can be changed). The cash drawer won't open automatically.
- If payment is by cash or check, the drawer will open and 'change due' will show.
- There are options to print a receipt using an ink printer or a thermal receipt printer, or just save the sale without printing a receipt. (Consignment stores often don't need to print receipts because items can't be returned.)
- Choose a consignor and press F7 to process the settlement.
- Print checks from the settlement screen.
- Run reports to see how you're doing - for today, this week, month or year.
- With BCSS Virtual consignors can see their information online, cutting down on calls to the shop for the same information: "What sold?" "What's my profit?"
- Integrated credit-card processing is available but not required. Rates: Visa + .1% and 5c per transaction. No application or termination fees (because there is no contract).
So, if you're looking for a low-priced program with no annual support fees that's 'intuitive' - you're home!
The Best Software Purchase Proposal
A Better Way: We don't think it's right to accept payment for a software program before its users have decided that it's right for them. As a matter of fact, we won't accept payment until you have examined BCSS and determined to your complete satisfaction that our software is right for you.
The free BCSS demo is fully functional and contains all of the features of the full version. Please use it and test BCSS thoroughly. If you determine that it works properly on your computer(s) and is right for you, then we will start the purchase process.
No Risk - This way there is no money out of pocket. If you do purchase BCSS, there is a 30-day money-back guarantee but please note that no refund will be granted once an unlock code has been issued.
No Rush - The demo period is 14 days and can be extended once. We are not in a hurry to push you into a buying decision.
No Worry - Imagine test-driving a car for 2 weeks with no 'security deposit' or commitments. That would certainly be enough time to see if there's something you 'just don't like' or if something is going to 'break'.
Please download the demo and take BCSS for an extended spin. (Data entered will be saved, so the demo may be used 'live' along with your current accounting system - a good way to test BCSS features and calculations for accuracy, or vice versa.) See if your employees like it - see if it's as easy for them to learn and use as we say.
Hardware may be returned for replacement within 30 days of receipt if it is defective. Beyond 30 days hardware will be replaced or repaired according to POS-X warranty policy: "With POS-X, you get free 2-Day Cross-Ship Rapid Replacement service on all products for the life of the warranty..." which is 3-5 years. Hardware may not be returned for a refund for any reason.
When you're ready, contact support to purchase an unlock code (to use BCSS beyond the trial period). Once the code has been issued, ownership of the software license transfers to you. You can resell BCSS at a later time.
When the mortgage is paid off, you own the house. When the last loan payment is made, you own the car. There is only one payment for BCSS and once made, you own BCSS. Once ownership of BCSS transfers to the purchaser, payment cannot be refunded. This is good business for honest people and it allows us to protect ourselves from theft attempts. It also prevents one or two unscrupulous competitors from wheeling and dealing with our customers and encouraging them to attempt credit-card charge backs. Thanks for understanding!
We look forward to hearing from you in 14 days - or less!
BCSS Browser Downloading Instructions
Internet browsers (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox) handle downloads differently - and not so obviously. What happened to the file you just downloaded?
Generally:
- Installation files (for installing software) should be saved to the hard drive first, then run from the hard drive.
- Actual views will differ from pictures shown herein given different editions of Windows and browsers.
It's important to know what the downloads folder is and where it is located:
- The 'downloads folder' is, as its name implies, a folder on the computer where downloads are stored. If you download a file and can't find it, look in the downloads folder by...
- ...clicking on Start, then the Username (found under the user's image, like 'Administrator' in this example):
Internet Explorer
This browser isn't as mysterious as the other two. The download process starts with this at the bottom of the screen...
(The actual appearance will differ with different editions of the browser. It is possible that the bottom of the browser screen is not viewable. Click on the Windows Maximize Button.)
Choosing 'Save' will save the file to your Downloads folder (which can be found by clicking on Start and typing Downloads).
When the download completes, this message will appear...
...providing an easy option to then run the installation file (or open the downloads folder or view downloads). Choose 'Run' to install the software. To learn a little about your computer, click on 'Open folder', observe where the downloads folder is located (for future reference) and run the installation from there by double clicking on the downloaded file.
Google Chrome
Not so obvious what's happening here - especially if the bottom of the browser window is not in view. Click on the Windows Maximize Button to make the entire browser window viewable.
Look for the button representing the downloaded file in the lower-left corner:
As a matter of explanation, at this point, Chrome has completed the download and has placed the downloaded file in your downloads folder. Click on the down arrow (shown in the image above) to see options for running the installation file (Open) or going to the downloads folder ('Show in folder').
Otherwise, just click on the button to run the installation file.
Firefox
If you're not familiar with Firefox, downloading is also a mystery. It's necessary to know that this down arrow:
...is a means of locating the downloads folder.
The pop-up window required clicking on its border to activate the 'Save File' button (but that may not be the experience on other computers):
After clicking on Save, the 'download arrow' turned into somewhat of a small 'progress bar':
It was necessary to Click on the down arrow again (when it reverted to an arrow) and click on the downloaded file to start the installation.
