Maker Venue & Consignment Ledger

In plain English

What category is this?

Sellers and shoppers use this to list, sell, fulfill, or buy products online. Here the focus is e.

The idea, briefly

Build one cheap flat per-maker ledger that covers both kinds of venue: log a booth sale on the maker's own phone without building a product catalogue, then import each consignment shop's payout report (CSV, photo or paste) to reconcile what sold, what each shop still owes, per-venue commission, per-item profit after materials, and sales tax by state - with unlimited venues, items and sales entries and no per-order fee. Honest caveat: Square already gives away checkout and inventory tracking, so the differentiator is multi-venue reconciliation and profit, not taking payment, and ConsignCloud/Circle-Hand already do consignor payouts for stores.

What buyers expect

People comparing tools like Stocksmith (formerly Craftybase), Circle-Hand, ConsignCloud expect the basics to work without surprise fees or missing pieces. The loud complaints are: A maker with one-of-a-kind items has no single system that spans the booth and the shop, so during a rush they fall back to a printed SKU sheet, risking lost sales, and cannot afford the time to duplicate items into a card reader; and the existing per-venue tools are subscriptions aimed at stores and manufacturers, and free POS stops at checkout, so consignment sales still get keyed in by hand.
