ThriftCart review

ThriftCart is the answer for donation-based thrift stores rather than consignment shops. It is designed around donated goods: color-based discounting for weekly tag-color sales, sell-by-weight pricing, donation scheduling and management, and roundup donations that let shoppers round a purchase up to the next dollar for your cause. The Startup plan is $99 a month and covers basic POS, built-in reports, SMS marketing and integrated payments. Core adds website integration, barcoding and labeling and donation scheduling, and Plus adds multilocation support, scheduled promotions, Avalara, Zapier and QuickBooks Online through Shogo. Only the Startup price is shown on the page; Core and Plus need a short form. A $750 setup fee covers data migration and configuration and is rebated once you go live and process payments. Because it has no consignor accounts or splits, it ranks below the dedicated consignment systems.
