Scale Your Checkout Instantly With Unlimited Registers
Consignment Helper's Multi-Register Support lets you add unlimited checkout stations with no extra fees or complicated setup. When the Saturday morning rush hits, just open another browser on any available device and start processing customers. Each register operates independently with its own transaction queue, cash drawer tracking, and reporting.
The Challenge: Peak Hours Don't Wait
Every consignment sale has a pattern: doors open, the rush builds for 2-3 hours, then settles into a steady flow. The problem is that those peak hours generate 60-70% of your total sales. If you can't handle the volume during the rush, you're leaving money on the table-and frustrating customers who won't come back.
Traditional POS systems make scaling expensive. Each additional register means another license fee, another hardware purchase, another setup process. So you end up planning for average traffic, not peak traffic. When the Saturday morning crowd hits, you scramble-or worse, you watch customers leave because the line is too long.
Consignment Helper takes a different approach. Since our POS runs entirely in a web browser, adding a register is as simple as opening a laptop. No licenses to buy, no software to install, no IT support needed. You can scale from 2 registers to 10 in the time it takes to walk across the room.

Multi-Register Capabilities
Every register is independent, but all data flows to one place.
Unlimited Registers
Add as many checkout stations as you need-no per-register fees, no license limits. Scale with your crowd.
Independent Tracking
Each register has its own transaction queue and totals. Perfect for assigning cash drawers to specific volunteers.
Centralized Data
All transactions sync instantly to the central database. Reports reflect all registers in real-time.
Any Device Works
Laptops, tablets, or any device with a browser. Bring your own equipment-no special purchases required.
Isolated Failures
If one device has issues, other registers keep running. No single point of failure can stop your sale.
Per-Register Reporting
Run cash reconciliation reports by register. Each volunteer can balance their own drawer at shift end.
Real-World Example: Scaling for the Rush
The First Methodist Church consignment sale planned for 4 registers on Saturday. At 8:30 AM-30 minutes after opening-the line stretched out the door and around the building. Here's how they handled it:
- •8:30 AM: Volunteer coordinator notices the line
- •8:31 AM: Grabs two laptops from the volunteer break room
- •8:33 AM: Both new registers processing customers
- •9:15 AM: Line cleared; scaled back to 4 registers
No IT support call. No license purchase. No waiting. Just more registers when needed, fewer when not. They processed 847 customers in the first 3 hours-a record for their sale.
