Key differences between SimpleConsign and ConsignPro
Splits
In SimpleConsign, the split percentage reflects the portion allocated to the store, whereas, in ConsignPro, it represented the consignor's share. This applies to the default split, category-specific splits, consignor-specific splits, and so forth.
For instance, entering "70" in the Store Split % box in the screenshot below would mean the store receives 70% of the sale price, with the consignor receiving the remaining 30%.
Counting Cash
Begin each day by counting cash to open and again at closing. In ConsignPro, users at all levels can enter their cash deposit, and upon opening the following morning, the system will verify the accuracy of the count against the previous night’s count minus deposit.
In SimpleConsign, the process is slightly different. At the End of Day, you count down the drawers, and SimpleConsign calculates the deposit amount needed to return to the starting balance. For optimal reporting clarity, it’s recommended to begin each day with a consistent opening balance.
