One-pay software programs like Best Consignment Shop Software are becoming harder to find as search results become crowded with offerings of 'software as a service' (SaaS) with (high) ongoing monthly or annual payments. Now purchasing programs like Outlook or MS Office means paying forever. Why? The back-room costs of maintaining and improving software and the in-your-face expenses of 'customer support' cannot be paid into infinity by software sales proceeds so if you're looking for software for consignment, resale (buy outright), retail or rental, get your copy while it's still on the market.

Saving Store Profits

Over 11 years low pricing and no annual fees have saved BCSSTM clients approximately $1,500,000 (one million five hundred thousand dollars). Here are more ideas for avoiding unnecessary expenditures:

Free Computer Support: Purchase new computers from Dell. It's excellent equipment at bargain prices and Dell will have someone at the store the next business day to fix any problems.


Free Hardware Support: Purchase hardware (cash drawer, printers, scanners) from a vendor guaranteeing replacement of DOA (dead on arrival) equipment for the first 30 days and replacement in 2 days of defective equipment during the 3-5-year warranty period. The vendor should also provide free support via online chat and telephone.


Reasonable Tech Support: Avoid online computer geeks asking $100+/hour for fix-it services. They are often individuals working from home with 10-5 banker's hours. If your problem would arise at any other time, 'emergency rates' are imposed.


Receipt Printers: Do you really need a costly thermal receipt printer? Maybe not. Resale store shoppers expect a 'no-return policy' so receipts aren't needed. Other patrons may be satisfied with credit-card transaction receipts. Otherwise an occasional receipt can be printed with BCSSTM and a simple ink printer. Apply that $284 to a thermal label printer for much more utility.


Credit-Card Processing: Some consignment software programs are 'integrated' with credit-card processing. The fees are generally higher, in part because a portion of each one of your sales kicks back to the software provider for locking you into the card processor. With BCSSTM you are free to use any card processing service. Many stores use FirstData for merchant services (http://www.bestconsignmentshopsoftware.com/consignment-credit-cards.htm). Rates are low and the (online) application is quick and painless.

There are several consignment-related businesses claiming to exist for the purpose of helping resalers. BCSSTM puts your money where it matters most: in store profits. Please spread the word.
