FAQ — Resale and consignment software

How are new features prioritized on the Circle-Hand roadmap?

We are a product-led company, meaning 90% of our roadmap is driven by customer feedback. We release new features and improvements every 2 weeks. Prioritization is based on a simple "voting" system: the more stores that request a specific workflow, the higher it moves on our list. You can view our Public Roadmap here to see what is currently "In Progress", what is coming up next and vote for features.

How to manage inventory for thrift stores for buy outright, donation and consignment?

Circle-Hand is built specifically for one-of-a-kind inventory. You can manage consignment, buy-outright and donated items in a single system. For thrift stores, this means you can use our AI intake tool to enter up to 90 items per hour per person—automatically generating descriptions and categories—while keeping donated items separate from consignment stock for accurate tax and margin reporting.

Is there a mobile solution for inventory intake?

Yes, Circle-Hand is a cloud-based platform compatible with any computer, tablet or smartphone. Use AI image recognition to snap photos and list inventory from any device. The integrated Client Portal allows consignors to self-register, draft items and track sales status in real-time.

Can Circle-Hand handle high-volume stores and multi-location?

Yes. From new openings on our Basic plan to multi-location businesses managing hundreds of thousands of SKUs, Circle-Hand scales with you. We pair a fast, modern interface with robust workflows for complex intake and consignment. Contact us for custom plans tailored to high-volume resale.

How do I choose the right designer thrift store inventory management software?

Circle-Hand manages the full pre-loved lifecycle: sellers apply via your website, you review items and AI-assisted pricing pulls market data from eBay and Depop to send automated offers. Consignors track status live via a portal. It’s the professional standard for scaling designer consignment without manual overhead.

Does Circle-Hand integrate with my existing POS?

Yes. Circle-Hand is an open system featuring a built-in POS and official integrations for Shopify, Square and Zettle/PayPal. You can keep your existing hardware and payment processing while our specialized consignment layer syncs sales, inventory and vendor payouts in real-time across all platforms.
