Consignment Software for Square

How Square Works with BCSS

Use Square with Best Consignment Shop Software. At POS, simply swipe the card and on the BCSS invoice screen, select the method of payment from the drop-down menu. No extra fees or complicated setup required!

Key Benefits of Using Square with BCSS

  • The cash drawer won't open for credit-card transactions, distinguishing between credit, cash, and other payment methods like PayPal or checks.
  • BCSS doesn’t participate in the credit-card process, so PCI compliance considerations are reduced.
  • Square payments are itemized separately in the sales-recap report, breaking down payment types like Visa, MasterCard, Discover, AMEX, cash, and checks.
  • Because BCSS isn’t integrated with any specific processor, you can switch from Square to another system without constraints.

Lowering Credit-Card Costs

Square charges fees for transactions. However, BCSS offers an option to deduct a percentage from credit-card sales in settlements or apply a small additional fee at POS. You can even exclude specific customers from these charges. This flexibility allows shop owners to manage costs effectively.

Encouraging Store Credit

Increase store sales by encouraging consignors to settle for store credit. In BCSS, offer a small bonus (around 5%) to persuade consignors to spend their sales proceeds at your store. This keeps money circulating within the business and reduces the number of checks written for settlements.

Consignment Selling Online

Expanding your consignment store online can significantly increase sales. However, competition is fierce. Here's what you'll need to succeed:

Build an Online Presence

Getting a website noticed by search engines is challenging today. It's crucial to build a presence on established platforms like eBay, Amazon, and Shopify.

Set Up Payment Processing

Establishing a merchant account can be difficult for small businesses. PayPal is a simple alternative for receiving payments. Google Checkout is another option worth considering.

Offer a Unique Product

In today’s saturated online market, offering a unique or hard-to-find product can significantly reduce competition and increase sales.
