Consignment · The books

The consignor books are built in.

Consignment is a promise to hundreds of people that their money is right. Vessor treats it that way: per-line splits, a running payout ledger, check runs on your rules — the bookkeeping that keeps shops on twenty-year-old software, done properly.

What “built in” means

Four things a consignment register must get right.

01

Splits, per line

Every consignor can have their own contract — 50/50, 60/40, tiered by price, different for furniture than for handbags. The register computes the split on every sale line automatically, and markdowns adjust the consignor's share by the rules you set, not by memory.

02

The payout ledger

Every consignor's balance is a running ledger, not a report you generate and hope is right. Sales credit it, payouts debit it, and any statement can be re-derived from the underlying lines — which is what lets a migration be verified to the cent.

03

Check runs, on your schedule

Payout rules are settings, not rituals: run day, request-by day, minimum balances, store-credit bonuses. When run day comes, Vessor assembles the batch, holds the below-minimum balances, and records every check against the ledger.

The portal is your call

Some owners want consignors checking their own balances; some absolutely don't. The consignor portal is owner-controlled and off by default — turn it on shop-wide, or keep the books between you and your staff. Either way, the phone stops ringing on payday.

Payday without the paperwork.

When a consignor calls about their balance, the answer is on the screen — and it’s the same number the ledger, the statement, and the check all derive from. Manager approval gates the sensitive actions; every adjustment records who and why.

And when an item sells online at 9pm on a Sunday, the split books itself the same second — the consignor books and the marketplace reach are one system, not an integration.

Proof, not promises

Verified to the cent — on a real shop.

A consignment migration is only real if the balances survive it. Vessor’s importer brings your complete history from your old system — every item, consignor, sale, and balance — then an independent audit re-derives every number before anything cuts over. Your old system is never touched; rollback is simply keeping it.

Case study · Migration № 001

A 40-plus-year consignment shop, migrated whole.

Every item, every consignor, every sale line — imported from their old system and re-derived until the books matched. The shop stays anonymous until they choose otherwise; the numbers don’t.
