For Canadian gift shops
Point of sale, consignment inventory and artist payouts in one place, built for shops that sell on behalf of local makers.
Designed by an artist · Built by a software engineer
I'm Sepideh, a software engineer and an artist, and I know the gift shop from both sides.
Behind the counter, I help run a small artist-run gift shop: serving customers, keeping the inventory sheets up to date, and doing the books. In front of it, my watercolours sell in shops across the Lower Mainland, so I also know what it's like to drop off new pieces, keep up with what sold where, and wait for the payout statement.
The Consignment Republic brings both sides together: software that's thoughtfully designed, as easy on the eye as the shops it runs, and made for the way consignment really works, for the shop and for its artists.

Inventory
Every piece has an artist, a short code for the register, a price and a split. See the retail value of your shelves and what you'd owe if it all sold, at a glance.
Artist statements
A clear statement for each artist: what sold, when, at what price, and their share. Print it or save it as a PDF, then mark it paid.
Fast sales at the counter, split payments, cash rounding, email receipts, returns, store credit and gift cards. Card payments go through your own Square Terminal.
Every piece belongs to an artist, with its own code, price and stock. Variations, photos and low-stock alerts included. Bring your current items over from Square.
Set each artist's split once. Every sale records the artist's share at the moment it happens, so statements are always right and never rewrite themselves.
Artists see what's in your shop and what sold, and send you drop-offs before they arrive. You check each piece in when it does. No more paper lists.
GST, PST, HST and QST set up for your province, kept as separate lines the way your accountant needs them, with an export ready for your books.
Run it on your own, or give staff quick PIN sign-in at the counter with roles that control who can do what.
Early partners
We're welcoming a small group of early partner shops to use The Consignment Republic and help shape what comes next. Early partners get a special offer. I'm happy to show you around online, or in person if you're nearby.
