Clothing, Shoes & Accessories Consignment Shop Software for Resale Businesses
What is clothing consignment software?
Clothing consignment software is a point-of-sale and inventory management platform built specifically for resale stores that sell items on behalf of consignors. Unlike standard retail POS systems, it tracks who owns each item, automatically calculates consignor splits upon sale, manages expiration terms, and handles payouts, all without manual spreadsheets. Aravenda’s platform adds a layer most tools lack: integrated e-commerce, cross-posting to marketplaces like Shopify and Clover.
How Aravenda works for clothing consignment stores:
1
A consignor drops off or ships their clothing items directly to your store for processing and resale.
2
You or your staff only need to enter the item once — either manually or with our AI-powered item entry system.
3
Aravenda lists the item on your Shopify or Clover store and optionally cross-posts to connected marketplaces.
4
When the item sells, Aravenda automatically calculates the consignor's split and queues their payout.
5
Issue payouts in bulk by check, store credit, or digital transfer — all without spreadsheets or manual calculations.

FAQ
How does Aravenda handle consignor payouts for clothing stores?
Aravenda includes integrated consignor payout tools designed specifically for resale and clothing consignment businesses. Store owners can:
Track sold items by consignor
Calculate commissions automatically
View paid and unpaid balances
Run payouts individually or in batches
Offer electronic payout methods like PayPal and ACH transfers
Consignors can also log into a secure portal to monitor sales activity, payouts, and inventory in real time. This reduces manual bookkeeping and eliminates the need for spreadsheets or paper checks.
Aravenda also synchronizes consignor account balances with Shopify POS, allowing stores to manage in-store credit and online sales from one connected system.
Can I use Aravenda to sell second-hand clothing on Shopify and Clover?
Yes. Aravenda is built to work with Shopify and Clover for resale and consignment businesses.
Clothing stores can use Aravenda to:
- Sell second-hand clothing online through Shopify
- Manage inventory across online and physical stores
- Cross-post products to channels like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Pinterest, and Google Shopping
- Handle consignor tracking and payouts
- Manage clothing variants like size, condition, and color
Aravenda was originally developed for clothing resale businesses and supports men’s, women’s, and children’s consignment operations.
Does Aravenda work for both in-store and online clothing resale?
Yes. Aravenda is designed for omnichannel resale businesses that operate both online and in-store.
The platform integrates with Shopify and Clover POS so inventory, consignor information, and sales remain synchronized between:
- Physical retail locations
- Shopify ecommerce stores
- Clover ecommerce stores
- Mobile devices and tablets
- Connected online sales channels
This means a clothing item sold in-store is automatically updated online, helping prevent overselling and inventory mismatches.
Aravenda is online based, so stores can manage operations from desktops, tablets, or smartphones without installing software.
What makes consignment software different from regular retail POS?
Consignment software is built specifically for businesses that sell inventory owned by multiple consignors rather than inventory purchased wholesale by the store.
Aravenda combines consignment-specific inventory management with Shopify and Clover, allowing resale businesses to manage online sales, in-store sales, consignor accounts, and payouts from one system.
