Rose for Consignment
It has been a good experience overall.
- I like this software because it allows you to do consignment for your business
- It is one of the few options available on the market
- It's a little tricky to navigate when first learning

Promising - but be prepared for development pains
If I say it is wonderful that is clearly the Stockholm Syndrome effect. I think it is heading in the right place and hope for better printer and report interfaces, but get the feeling the development staff is a limited pool of personnel and he is deeply involved in other aspects of the program as well as life in general.
It is a known price with a relatively low bar for entry and it is scalable for starting up a consignment store
- Development is ongoing, showing up mostly in printer interface for the one printer on the planet approved for use - an out-of-production model Dymo brand thermal - which is capable yet the interface is downright arcane
- Between this and the program's reluctance to allow me to cycle reports that are meaningful to myself, my accountant, and my consignors without screen scavenging and "Paste Special" tricks in my spreadsheet program, I am glad it manages consignor splits, taxes, fees, and inventory fairly well
Why they chose it
"Known quantity pricing, low bar for entry with a new startup consignment shop, Square processing & POS front-end."

Do not even try to make this work
Very Bad. Poor support. Lots of bugs and old
- I was hoping I could get it to work because I already have a square register
- I had a few problems in the free trial and they sent me a email that said I should look for a different program
- Doesn't work
- No customization
- Poor support
Why they chose it
"For square but it doesn't work so have to switch to a different pos"

User friendly, great for new or veteran consignment businesses
I have had a great experience with this product and have and will continue to recommend this product.
- I absolutely love this product
- After shopping around I decided Rose was the program for us
- The tech support is excellent
- The product is easy to navigate
- The isn't really anything I don't like, I just wish I was able to transfer ownership of expired items more easily rather than have to go into each item and manually change ownership
- Also before you post sales I wish there was a way to know if the sold item is expired and be able to deposited the funds into the store account
Why they chose it
"Price was the first factor, support was the second reason and square compatibility was the 3rd reason"

The best solution for consignment sales and inventory
"Sensational" best describes the service and commitment of this company.
- We inherited a disaster of a consignment business
- The Rose developer worked tirelessly with us in a patient and professional manner
- We couldn't be happier with the ease of input of stock, inventory control, and integration with Square for Retail
- And most of all, the support is always available: very understanding, dedicated, and trustworthy staff at Rose
- Our vendors love the ability to view their accounts online 24/7
- We are the only outlet that offers that feature for our vendors- Thanks Rose
- Wow
- Nothing to report in a negative way
- We only wish every provider could emulate the high quality of service and product that we've experienced with Rose for Consignment
Switched From
We wanted to abandon the ancient POS and inventory system we were using and experience a dedicated program for consignment with incredible support.

Great software if the majority of your inventory is Consignment
The software is relatively new and for the most part is fairly easy to use and somewhat intuitive. Setting up the printer was probably the most challenging part. The customer service is however top notch! Rose is very good about responding quickly to questions and provides direction and assistance in a manner which easy to understand and he has always shown a great deal of patience, which is greatly appreciated.
- The best feature about Rose is that your consignors can enter their inventory themselves and they can track their sales
- Also, I love that it works directly with Square
- In order for consignors to see their sales, there is an additional step of batching each days sales and sometimes it can take me several days or even a week to do this as time permits
- Also, I only have a handful of consignors at the moment
- The software is really best for stores that have mostly consignors or at least 50% of the merchandise coming from consignors
Why they chose it
"I chose Rose because of the consignors ability to have access."

Thrifted Bliss Consignment - Westfield, WI Review for Rose
Business problems we solved with Rose for Square are providing a detailed report of items taken it from the consignor, creating a detailed label for their take in, having a portal for the consignor to check their balance, less time doing paperwork manually keeping track of their balances. This software saved my life.
- What I like most about this software is that it's very easy to use
- I love the simplicity of it
- It was easy to get switch from my own labeling system to this one
- It has all the information I've needed thus far and could always add more
- The thing I like the least is how many times I have to re log in due to inactivity
- I understand the security purpose of it just wondering if that could be changed
- I also wish the sales reports would automatically remove themselves once "complete batch post" was clicked

Rose for consignment
Overall it’s been a lifesaver for our business and has really contributed to the success of being able to offer consignment.
- We are a new business and the program allowed us to venture into consignment with low stress
- It allows us to add, subtract, and alter consignors and their inventory with ease
- The customer service is quick and helpful
- We have not yet tapped into all the amazing features it has to offer us
- Can’t wait to explore those options more this year
- The only issues we’ve encountered really were from being new to the system and not knowing it well
- We do not have consignor access option, so when consignors as for their payout report, we need to remember to send it to them before we pay it out or it all gets lumped together with the rest of their paid out inventory or a list of everyone’s paid out inventory
- But I don’t really see this as an issue with the system, more if just the way we’re using it
Why they chose it
"It was exactly what we needed as a vintage consignment shop! It allows us to keep track of all the inventory and consignors."

Saved our consignment business!
I am very happy with our overall experience with ROSE. It has made running our business so much simpler and I am very thankful to have found it.
- Without ROSE for Square we would not be starting our fifth year running a successful consignment business
- It made the process of tracking our consignors and inventory so easy and efficient, which is critical to our business
- The helpful "how to " video clips and support from [SENSITIVE CONTENT] made it simple to get started
- Also, [SENSITIVE CONTENT] and his team our always available if we are having an issue
- We are so thankful that we found ROSE and would HIGHLY recommend it
- Lately it seems that it is taking longer for the pages to load and it freezes quite a bit, which can be frustrating
- I would like it if you could create a take-in using the consignors last name instead of the number
- For instance, when I am creating a take- in, I usually will have to look up the consignors account first to obtain their number before I can create their take-in, which wastes time because it's an extra step

Very Satisfied Customer
Verified reviewer
- The thing that I like most about Rose is how easy it is for my vendors to use
- I have over sixty different vendors all selling their products in my store, and all of them have had absolutely no issues with Rose
- That is very important to me
- It is also really easy to deduct rent right from their sales, and keep track of who is selling the most, and who might need to change their display, or bring in new items
- Keeping over 60 people happy is not easy, and Rose has done this successfully for me
- One of the things that I do not like is that I cannot pay my vendors through Square
- Most of them have Square accounts, so it would be so much easier if I could just transfer the money over electronically
- I know it is in the process of happening, so I look forward to the release of that function
