Made for consignment
Scheduled markdowns, agreement expiry with hand-backs, and a return window before any sale is payable: the jobs a consignment shop does every week.

Why shops switch
Pay consignors your way
Cash from the till, check, bank transfer or store credit. Record the payout and email a PDF statement. The app never touches your money.
A price that doesn't grow with consignors
Puppet Vendors' plans run from $49 a month for 25 vendors to $599. Consignment Hub is free for up to 3 consignors, then $19.99 a month for unlimited consignors.
Switching takes an afternoon
- Install Consignment Hub from the Shopify App Store. Your products and orders stay where they are.
- Import your consignors from a CSV, with what you already owe each one as an opening balance.
- Link the products you already sell to their consignors, in bulk from the Shopify product list.
- Sales are tracked from then on. Run both apps side by side until you're sure.
Questions
Does Consignment Hub pay consignors through PayPal or Stripe?
No. You pay consignors however you like and record it. Many consignment shops pay in cash or store credit, which a PayPal or Stripe payout doesn't cover.
Does it work with Shopify POS?
Yes, on every plan. In-store sales are split and tracked the same way as online orders.
Can I link a single size to a consignor?
Yes. You can link a single variant, such as one size or colour, to a consignor, on every plan.
