When your vendors are real retailers, not hobbyists
There is a point where a tenant stops being a consignor with a shelf and becomes a shop owner running a product line inside your building. They order cases, track cost, carry SKUs, and want a P&L. Most vendor software was never built for that tenant — and they are usually the one you least want to lose.

Your best vendor outgrows it first
Consignment tools assume one-off used goods with a description field. That holds until a tenant starts moving new inventory at volume — then they need SKUs, reorders, case-quantity receiving and their own cost basis, and the software cannot follow.
What happens next is predictable. The tenant starts keeping their own spreadsheet alongside yours, the numbers drift, and eventually they leave for somewhere that can hold their business.
Moving a real catalogue in
A vendor arriving with an existing shop does not want to retype their catalogue. Syncrostore imports Shopify inventory directly, or takes our own spreadsheet template.
Variants come across as variants, so one product with nine colorways stays one product.
What a business tenant needs that a consignor does not
QuickBooks, both ways
Books sync straight to QuickBooks — free for you and free for your vendors. A tenant running a real business already has an accountant; this is the difference between your store fitting into their operation or fighting it.
A login, not a monthly PDF
Every vendor gets a portal with live sales, balances and statements. Shop owners check their own performance without asking your office, which is the only version of this that scales past a handful of tenants.
Rent, commission, or both
Set rent by the space and a custom commission rate per vendor. A tenant on straight rent and a tenant on a split sit side by side on the same floor without a workaround.
TrinketVault™
Vendors sell online from the same records as the store — including items that live at home and never reach their space — and your store still earns commission on those sales.
ACH, on your cadence
Settle a whole cycle in one screen, then push payouts to vendor bank accounts through SyncroACH™ or print checks from the same run.
On the ledger, not the store
Card fees are accounted for on the vendor ledger. Under Vendor Choice Pricing, vendors opt in to card pricing or carry the fee on their own sales.
Settling a cycle
Can one store mix retail vendors and consignors?
Yes, and most do. Terms are set per vendor, so a shop owner on rent and a consignor on a split run side by side without separate systems.
Do vendors manage their own inventory?
If you let them. Vendors can enter and price their own items remotely; permissions decide how much they control.
How many vendors can it hold?
Unlimited on every plan. The system was built for floors carrying hundreds.
