Canadian Consignment Software + Resale

Low-Cost Consignment Software for Canadian Shops

Best Consignment Shop Software (BCSS) provides top inventory, accounting, and POS (Point of Sale) software solutions for Canadian consignment, resale, thrift, and retail businesses. Whether you're selling used goods, books, antiques, designer handbags, or even RVs, BCSS offers a suite of powerful tools to manage your shop. With QuickBooks compatibility and flexible tax settings, the software meets the unique needs of Canadian businesses without the ongoing fees common to cloud-based solutions.

Key Features Tailored for Canadian Resale Businesses

BCSS is designed to address specific needs of Canadian businesses with features like dual tax fields to handle varied tax scenarios across different provinces. Whether your area has a Harmonized Sales Tax (HST) of 13-15% or only a 5% Goods and Services Tax (GST), the software seamlessly calculates and reports tax to the CRA.

Flexible, Affordable Pricing Plans

BCSS offers four different software editions, each with ascending features and price points. The software does not require monthly or annual support fees, so you pay once and own the software for life. Choose the edition that best matches your business needs, whether you're just starting out or expanding an established store.

1. Intro Edition: Basic Needs ($295 USD)

This edition is perfect for new or small shops needing basic functionality. Inventory is entered at the time of sale, and reports are generated for transactions. However, there are no reports for unsold in-store merchandise.

2. Deluxe Edition: Enhanced Features ($395 USD)

The Deluxe edition includes support for barcode scanning, cash drawer management, and receipt printing. It’s ideal for stores that need more advanced sales processing and inventory tracking. Data export to .csv or QuickBooks format is also included. A software and hardware package (including a drawer and printer) is available for $879.

3. Diamond Edition: Advanced Capabilities ($595 USD)

The Diamond edition brings more powerful capabilities like networking multiple computers to share the same database, thermal label printing, employee management, and rental management for malls or store spaces.

4. Virtual Edition: Full Access & Online Convenience

The Virtual edition allows clients to view their accounts and add inventory online. It includes direct QuickBooks integration for seamless financial management, eliminating the need for data exports.

No Recurring Payments – Lifetime Use

BCSS is available as a one-time payment, with no recurring monthly or annual support fees. This means you pay once and get lifetime access to the software, with free updates. Plus, you get a free live demo, a comprehensive illustrated user’s guide, and training videos to help you get started.

If additional support is needed, it's available at affordable rates well below the typical costs of local IT support. This structure allows you to save money if you don’t need help and ensures you only pay for support when you do.

Canadian Business Software & Tax Compliance

BCSS provides seamless tax management for Canadian shops. The software supports HST and GST calculations, enabling you to report accurate taxes to the CRA with ease. For businesses without local sales tax, the software uses the 5% GST rate. This flexibility makes it simple for any Canadian resale, consignment, or thrift store to stay compliant with local tax laws.

Effortless Inventory & Sales Management

BCSS offers a wide range of tools to manage your consignment or resale business efficiently. Track inventory, process sales, and generate reports to understand your shop's performance. With features for both consignment and buy outright sales, you can adapt your business model to changing market needs.

Enhanced Customer Experience

For stores looking to enhance customer experience, BCSS offers options to let clients view their accounts online and add inventory. Consignors can see which items sold and for how much, reducing inquiries and fostering trust. The software also supports rewards programs, providing incentives for repeat business.
