Why Thrift Stores Need Consignment Software
Thrift stores are unique retail businesses that primarily handle donated goods for resale. Unlike typical retail shops, thrift stores require a specialized approach to managing their inventory, sales, and donor records. With large volumes of diverse items coming in daily, having an efficient software solution is critical to ensure smooth operations and customer satisfaction.

Every donation matters, and BCSS helps thrift stores keep accurate records of donors and their contributions. You can easily create donor profiles with full contact information.

Customizable Payment Options for Thrift Stores
Every thrift store has its unique pricing and discount policies. BCSS supports flexible payment options, including cash, credit, debit, and checks. You can apply discounts either manually or automatically based on pre-set rules. Tax exemptions for certain customers or items can be managed within the software, ensuring compliance and hassle-free transactions.
