How are consignor splits calculated?

You set a percentage or a fixed seller payout per item. When the instrument sells, the Suite records the shop's share and the consignor's balance owed automatically.

Can I see how long consigned gear has been on the floor?

Yes. Every consigned item shows days-on-floor so you can renegotiate, discount, or return stale stock before it eats your display space.

Do consignors get a record of their items?

Each consignor has a record listing their items, agreed splits, sale dates, and payouts, so you can answer 'has my banjo sold?' in seconds.

Is this a POS terminal?

No. Music Shop Suite is a back-office system. Keep your card reader; the Suite runs the consignment ledger, stock, repairs, rentals, and lessons around it.

Consignment management software

Consignment Management Software for Music Shops

Consignment is the easiest part of a music shop to lose money on. A guitar sits on the wall for eight months, the split was agreed verbally, and nobody remembers what the seller is owed. Music Shop Suite gives every consigned item an owner, an agreed split, an age, and a payout balance you can prove.

One record per consigned item with owner, split, and agreed floor price
Payout balances calculated the moment an item sells
Days-on-floor aging so stale stock gets dealt with
Consignor statements you can email or print
Consigned stock kept separate from owned stock in your valuation

Know exactly what you owe, and to whom

The dangerous number in consignment is the one you never total up. The Suite keeps a running payout liability across every consignor so month-end is a report, not an archaeology dig.

Running balance owed per consignor
Payout history with dates and amounts

Stop consigned gear from ageing on the wall

Floor space is your scarcest asset. Aging views surface the pieces that have been hanging longest so you can drop the price, renegotiate the split, or hand it back.

Days-on-floor per item and per consignor
Flag items past your agreed consignment term
Return-to-owner status without deleting the history

Consigned stock is not your stock

Mixing consigned instruments into your owned inventory inflates your stock value and misleads your accountant. The Suite tracks them separately while keeping them visible on the same floor list.

One customer record, every relationship

Consignors are usually customers, students, or repair clients too. Keeping them on one record means you can see the whole relationship, not one slice of it.

Purchases, repairs, rentals, and lessons on the same person
Contact details and agreement notes in one place
Notes and photos from intake retained for disputes

See the workbench before you sign up

Inventory, pricing, lesson bookings, and instrument lending all live in the same back-office dashboard — no separate apps, no re-keying between them.

Honest note

Back office, not a till

Music Shop Suite does not replace your card reader. It replaces the spreadsheet where your consignment ledger currently lives.
