Three Places The Difference Shows Up

01

Built for consignment, not bolted on

SimpleConsign was purpose-built for resale from day one: consignor management, payouts, and reporting with the depth a resale business actually runs on.

Ricochet is an all-purpose retail POS with consignment tacked on. It was not designed for that depth.

Consignment store shoppers
02

Vendor malls get real tools

Collect booth rent weekly, biweekly, monthly, or yearly, and lay out your floor visually with space and booth assignment.

Ricochet has no vendor rent collection and no floor map. Neither is built for vendor malls.

03

One flat price, until it isn't

Shopify sync, marketing and reputation through SimpleConnect, and white-glove onboarding for your whole team are all included in the price you see.

Ricochet's flat price looks simple, but Shopify only works through their $59/mo Ecommerce add-on, a real cost that is not shown up front on their pricing page.

FAQs

How hard is it to migrate off Ricochet?
Most shops are live in under two weeks. Our team handles the inventory and consignor data import for you, and white-glove onboarding covers staff training before you switch the register over.
Do I lose my consignor history?
No. Consignor records, balances, and item history come across in the migration so payouts and statements stay continuous.
Is reporting really included?
Yes. Sell-through, consignor performance, category margins, and store insights are part of the Professional tier, there is no reporting upgrade.
Does SimpleConsign work for vendor malls, not just consignment?
It does. Booth rent collection on weekly, monthly, or annual schedules, vendor statements, per-vendor reporting, and a visual floor map with booth assignment are all native. Antique and vendor malls are one of our largest segments.
What happens after the launch offer ends?
You move to standard Professional pricing at $359/mo. The intro rate runs for six months or your first $50K in sales, whichever comes first, no contract lock-in.
Do I need a paid add-on to sell online?
No. Shopify sync is included in Professional. On Ricochet, Shopify runs through their $59/mo Ecommerce add-on, billed on top of the plan price.
