Number of Seats/Users: ConsignPro offers discounts based on the number of users or seats. A higher volume typically leads to a better discount structure, especially for enterprise-level usage.

Commitment to a Long-Term Contract: Discounts are often provided to companies that commit to using the service for a longer period (e.g., 1-year or 3-year contracts). A longer commitment shows ConsignPro that the company is serious and willing to invest in the platform long-term.

No Active Discounts: Companies that are not already receiving other active discounts may have a better chance of qualifying for additional discounts from ConsignPro. ConsignPro reserves discounts for new customers or those not currently under promotional pricing.

Volume or Usage Commitment: ConsignPro offers discounts if you agree to a minimum amount of usage or transaction volume. This could be based on data storage, transactions, or other metrics tied to how much you will use the platform.

Enterprise-Level Negotiation: Companies that qualify as “enterprise” due to their size or complexity (e.g., having large teams, multiple departments, or geographical presence) may be eligible for additional discounts from ConsignPro. Such companies are often in a position to negotiate for better pricing.

Early Renewal or Prepayment: ConsignPro often offers discounts if you renew early or prepay for the entire contract period. This is a common approach to securing a lower price.

Common Challenges:
– Steep Initial Learning Curve: Although the system is user-friendly once familiar, some initial confusion is expected, especially for those new to retail software. However, this seems to level out with regular use.
– Email Integration & Direct Communication: Many Spendbase clients wish for more integrated communication tools—like built-in emailing for targeted groups (e.g., birthdays or top spenders) and coupon creation—rather than exporting data for use with other software.
– Tag Printing and Flexibility: A number of users express frustration over limited choices for tag sizes and layouts, as well as barcode printing constraints.
– Limitations for Certain Business Types: Businesses dealing heavily with purchased inventory report workarounds and a focus more on consignment than outright buying.
