Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to set up a consignment store on PuppetVendors?

Most stores finish the core setup in under an hour. Products, orders, and Shopify vendor names import automatically after install, so the bulk of the work is setting commissions and inviting vendors.

Can I import vendors from another consignment platform?

Yes. You can bulk create or update vendors via a CSV file, which makes migrating from platforms like Ricochet or Shipturtle straightforward. Our support team can also assist with your import.

Do I have to pay vendors through PuppetVendors?

No. Connecting Stripe or PayPal is optional. Many consignment stores pay by cash or bank transfer and simply log those payouts in PuppetVendors for record keeping.

Can vendors print their own barcode labels?

Yes. Once barcodes are activated, vendors can generate and print variant barcode labels from their portal so items scan directly into Shopify POS.
