Here are the answers to the most common demo and setup queries.

Is SimpleConsign a Shopify app?

No. SimpleConsign is a standalone cloud POS. It can sync with Shopify, but only on its top Professional plan ($359/mo), and the sync is a connector rather than a native Shopify app. PuppetVendors is built natively inside Shopify, so your in-store and online sales, inventory, and vendor payouts all run through the store you already operate.

Why do consignment stores switch from SimpleConsign to PuppetVendors?

How much does SimpleConsign cost compared to PuppetVendors?

Does PuppetVendors handle booth rent like SimpleConsign?

If you already run on Shopify or want to sell online and in-store from one system with open integrations, PuppetVendors is the better fit."}}]}</script>
