Features for consignment shopsWithout switching tills.
From bag to payout: commission, portal, Swish and a 60-day period. The same job as a full POS – on top of the till you already have.
Time lost every day
This is the time most stores spend on administration instead of selling
Sellers now have many ways to sell on their own. The shop has to offer the same clarity – balance, sold items and when the money arrives – without you sitting on the phone.
From bag to payout
Four steps in the same chain. The money is split correctly in the same second the sale goes through.
The bag becomes items
All you need is the seller’s email. You or they register, set a price and print a label.
The till already knows whose it is
The item sells in Zettle or Express Retail. The purchase comes back to Serculate and is linked to the right seller.
The seller sees it first
The balance updates immediately. They follow their items in the portal – before anyone has time to call and ask if the jacket sold.
You pay. We keep the books.
They request payout via Swish or in store. You approve. The balance is written down and lands in the report for the right day.
What shops ask
Yes, it does.
The same questions you ask a full POS. The answers are simpler here – you do not switch tills.
Can the same seller have hundreds of items?
Yes
A seller can have as many items as you take in. No cap that stops a busy customer.
Can I set the commission myself?
Yes
Set the split at store, customer or item. Store default, customer override, item override.
Can the percentage change per item?
Yes
Change one item or many in bulk. Raise, lower or set a fixed value.
Can I have a 60-day sales period?
Yes
Set e.g. 60 days. When time is up the seller gets an email – pick up, extend, or any message you write. Unsold becomes a decision, not a pile in the stockroom.
Can the price drop automatically after 30 days?
Almost
Not fully automatic. Filter items older than 30 days and markdown them in bulk – amount or percent.
What happens when an item is returned?
You decide
You set the policy. We recommend no returns – that is what most profitable second-hand chains do. If Zettle refunds, the item can go back on sale.
Can the seller see their balance online?
Yes
The seller logs in, sees balance, what is for sale and what sold – before anyone has time to call.
Can I pay out via Swish?
Yes
The seller requests a payout. You approve. Money goes via Swish. You can also pay out in store or let the balance be used as a gift card.
Does it work with a Swedish POS?
Yes
Serculate works with Zettle. Sell as usual at the till – consignment syncs automatically. Express Retail is also supported.
Can I add a webshop later?
Yes
Shopify can be connected when you want to sell consignment goods online. Start in-store, add e-commerce later.
How are VAT and bookkeeping handled?
Reports included
Serculate gives sales, commission and VAT reports. You bookkeep as usual – you do not calculate it by hand.
Can it handle several shops if I expand?
Yes
Each new shop gets its own setup, till and customers. Same system when you open shop two.
Everything is in Excel. Can you move it in?
Yes, included
Send files, lists or an export. We load sellers, items and balances before you start. No extra cost.
What happens to items that do not sell?
You decide
You set the period and can extend per item. When it ends: pick up, donate or your own copy. Unsold is a decision, not a pile.
What equipment do I need to start?
The till you have
Zettle or Express Retail is enough. A label printer is handy but not required. You do not need a barcode scanner to begin.
Features
Everything a consignment shop needs
Not a full POS. Consignment, portal, Swish and reports – on top of Zettle.
Commission and price
Commission on three levels
Store, customer or item. You set it, the system calculates.
Hundreds of items per seller
No artificial cap. One seller can fill the rack.
Unsold is a decision
E.g. 60 days. Email with your own copy when time is up – not a pile in the stockroom.
Bulk markdown unsold
Filter items older than 30 days and cut the price. Not a night in Excel.
Sellers and portal
Seller portal
Balance, for sale, sold and withdrawn. The seller sees it before anyone has time to call.
Self-registration
The seller adds items and photos. You approve.
Email when it sells
The seller is notified. You stop answering “did my jacket sell?”
Your own email templates
Welcome, sold and expired – in the shop’s voice.
Till and e-commerce
Zettle at the till
Card and Swish as usual. Serculate links the purchase to the seller.
Express Retail
Works with the till you already have. No swap to a full POS.
Shopify when you want
Connect a webshop later. Start in the physical shop.
Returns you own
Recommendation: no returns. A Zettle refund can put the item back on sale.
Money and reports
You pay. We keep the books.
The seller requests. You approve. Swish, bank or payout in store.
Payout in store
Swish is not the only path. Gift cards and in-store payouts work too.
Live balance
Every sale updates the seller’s balance. No evening row in a spreadsheet.
VAT and sales reports
Monthly report with commission and VAT. Backup for bookkeeping.
Shop operations
Labels and barcodes
Print what the till scans. Tied to the right seller.
Photos, category, search
Find the item by SKU, seller or text. Not in a binder.
Bulk edits
Price, commission and status on many items at once.
Several shops
New shop, same Serculate. Own till and own customers.
A price you can understand
The whole system for SEK 699 a month. The same price if you take in ten items a week or a thousand. No fees per item or seller.
FAQ
What you want to know before you decide
About the till, moving from Excel, the price and what happens with unsold items. Whether you are opening or already running.
What is a POS for consignment shops?+
It is a system that does more than take payment: it links each sold item to the right seller, calculates commission and tracks balances. Serculate does this with the till you already have, such as Zettle or Express Retail.
Do I need to switch POS?+
No. Serculate integrates with your existing till. You sell as usual, and consignment is handled automatically.
What does consignment software cost per month?+
Serculate is free until your first sale. Then SEK 699 per month with no lock-in. All features included from day one.
How does consignment work in a second-hand store?+
Customers drop off items. The shop sells them and splits the revenue. Serculate records whose item it is, syncs the sale from the till and lets the seller follow the balance and withdraw via Swish.
Does Serculate work with Zettle?+
Yes. Zettle takes the payment, Serculate links the purchase to the right seller. The same model applies to Express Retail and Shopify for e-commerce.
Can sellers follow their sales?+
Yes. Each customer gets an account where they see unsold and sold items plus balance, and request payout themselves.
Is Serculate a certified cash register?+
No. The cash register is Zettle or Express Retail. Serculate is the consignment system on top of the till.
Which POS is best for second-hand?+
It depends on whether you want to replace the whole till or keep the one you have. Serculate is built for commission, a customer portal and Swish without switching POS.
Can the same seller have hundreds of items?+
Yes. A seller can have as many items as you take in. No cap.
Can I set the commission myself?+
Yes. You set the percent at store, per customer or per item.
Can I have a 60-day sales period?+
Yes. When time is up the seller gets an email – pick up the items, or any message you write.
Can the price drop automatically after 30 days?+
Not fully automatic. Filter items older than 30 days and markdown them in bulk.
What happens when an item is returned?+
You set the policy. We recommend no returns, like most profitable second-hand chains. A Zettle refund can put the item back on sale.
Can I add a webshop later?+
Yes. Shopify can be connected when you want to sell consignment goods online.
How are VAT and bookkeeping handled?+
Serculate gives sales, commission and VAT reports. You bookkeep as usual – you do not calculate it by hand.
Can the system handle several shops?+
Yes. Each new shop gets its own setup, till and customers.
Everything is in Excel or a cash book. How does the move work?+
Send what you have – files, lists or an export from another system. We load sellers, items and balances before you start. The move is included, at no extra cost.
What equipment do I need to get started?+
A till you already have, for example Zettle. A label printer is handy but not required – you can start with codes on stickers. You do not need a barcode scanner to begin.
What happens to garments that do not sell?+
You set the sales period yourself, for example 60 days, and can extend per item. When time is up the seller gets an email – pick up, extend or any copy you write. Unsold becomes a decision, not a pile in the stockroom.
Can sellers use their balance in the shop?+
Yes. Balance can be paid out via Swish, in store or used as a gift card. You approve – Serculate keeps the books.
What if I want to stop using the system?+
No lock-in. You can stop whenever you want.
Can I try it before I decide?+
Yes. Serculate is free until you sell the first item. No card required to start.
Do I get help if I get stuck?+
Yes. Support in Swedish, from people who know consignment shops. Get in touch and we reply within one working day.
