What iVendNext offers a thrift and resale chain

This page lists what a thrift and resale chain can use in iVendNext today. The format is Thrift and resale: a chain of thrift, charity and resale stores that take in donated goods, sell consigned pieces and sell one-of-a-kind goods. Every store runs the same till, the iVendNext POS at /pos, on a phone, a tablet or a register. The donation door, the stock room and head office work in iVendNext Desk, and the stock officer can also work on iVendNext Handheld.

Every part below is in the till, in a setting or in the App library today. Each part says who uses it, what it rests on and where you can have it. To set the parts up, follow Setting up a thrift store. For the apps a store turns on, see Thrift and resale on iVendNext.

What you get in a thrift and resale chain

What the chain needs	Who uses it	What it rests on	Where you can have it
Donations at the door, and the donor receipt	Donation-door attendant, store manager	Donation intake with a donor receipt: a donation written in iVendNext Desk with the donor (one of your customers, a name typed at the door, or no one named), the address, the store, the day, and each kind of goods with how many and in what condition. With the lock rule on, giving the receipt locks the donation, and the donor receipt prints under your Letter Head: it lists the goods and states no value. A store manager cancels a receipt that was given. Your charity's name, registration number and the sentence about anything given in return sit on your Letter Head.	App library, free, in every country. It runs in your own site and sends nothing out.
Donated goods into stock	Stock officer	The stock entry that takes the sorted goods in, a Material Receipt, has a Donation field that names the donation they came from. The Donations list shows every donation that is not canceled. For goods that come in by barcode, iVendNext Handheld can receive stock.	iVendNext Desk, with Donation intake. iVendNext Handheld: talk to your partner.
Pricing: the price in the barcode, and a one-off piece	Cashier, store manager	One category item sells at many prices, because the label's barcode carries the price: the extracted price becomes the line's price. A one-off piece takes a typed price at the till, within the limits your managers set, and a manager is asked outside them. See Barcode Masking and Markdowns and Open Price. Price change approvals has a price change approved by someone other than the person who asked.	The till and iVendNext Desk, in every country. Price change approvals: App library, free.
This week's tag color at a markdown	Store manager, cashier	A set-up in iVendNext Desk, no app: one item for each category and tag color, with the price in the barcode, and one promotion for each color. The promotion lists that color's items, takes a percent off, and runs on the dates of the week, for your thrift stores. Each week, the next color's promotion is dated, and a retired color's goods are put away. See Setting up a thrift store and Promotions, Coupons and Discounts.

Consignment and the consignor's payout	Store manager, accounts team	Consignment payouts: a consignor with a share, the consignor named on each piece you take in, and a payout worked out in iVendNext Desk from your own till sales and Desk invoices, with returns taken off. The app checks each line again before the payout is marked paid, so a sale is paid once, and it prints a statement for the consignor. Booking the payment in your accounts is your accounts team's work.	App library, free, in every country, on CitiXsys hosting in the United States.
Promotions and coupons	Cashier, store manager	The till's promotions: percent off and amount off between two dates, and a markdown on a line, which asks a manager as your approval ladder says.
