Introducing ConsignPro e-Payments

Version 11 of ConsignPro allows you to quickly and securely pay your consignors or vendors via either PayPal or Venmo.

Why e-Payments?

• It's 2022, most consignors prefer to be paid electonically. It's safe, secure, and immediate.
• PayPal and Venmo are two of the most trusted and widely recognized players in the e-Payments space.
• It's built-into our existing payout screens making it incredibly easy to use.
• It's secure, only the employees who you authorize can initiate electonic payments using a PIN number that you assign.
• For additional security, you must release every e-payment via an SMS text message to your cell phone.
• It costs less than issuing paper checks.

How much does it Cost?

• It only costs $1 per e-Payment. PayPal collects 25 cents. We collect 75 cents.
• You can setup an automatic "Convienience Fee" to your consignor to recover this e-Payment fee, or even make money on each payment you send.
• The cost to issue a paper check is estimated to be about $4.
