Managing consignment shouldn't feel like a second job.
Spreadsheets can't tell you which books are on which shelf, or how many are left.
Authors have no visibility into their sales until a bookseller remembers to send a report.
Settlements happen late, if at all — calculated by hand, prone to errors, and painful to track.
“We built ConsignWrite because we lived this problem. A busy indie bookstore. A growing list of consignment authors. And a spreadsheet that was never going to be enough.”

Watch your sales grow
Track every sale across every store from one dashboard. Know what's moving, what's not, and when a settlement is on its way.
Everything you need. Nothing you don't.
Two-sided marketplace
Authors and booksellers find each other, propose terms, and negotiate consignment agreements — all without leaving the platform.
Real-time inventory
Always know exactly how many copies are on each shelf, how many have sold, and when it's time to restock.
Author analytics
See which titles are performing at which stores, track your earnings over time, and understand what's working.
Clear settlement records
Generate settlement statements, pay authors by check, cash or bank transfer, and record each payment. Authors see the same statement you do.
Genre-first discovery
Booksellers specify the genres they carry. Authors filter by genre. The right books find the right shelves.
Never miss a settlement
Automated reminders keep both sides informed. Authors know when a settlement is issued. Booksellers know when one is overdue.
