The details that help visitors choose
How Consignment Works (for Sellers). One clear website.
Consignment stores sell one of a kind stock, and Grigora handles that shape of catalogue: describe your shop and the AI drafts the site, layout, copy and images, which you then edit visually without code. Items go into Grigora Commerce with their own photos, SKUs and inventory counts, so a chair set to a quantity of one sells once and then reads as unavailable.
How Consignment Works (for Sellers)
Clearly explain your consignment process: what items you accept, condition requirements, drop-off procedures, commission rates, and payout schedules. Transparency builds trust with potential sellers and streamlines their experience.
Categories & Item Acceptance Guidelines
List the specific categories of items you consign (e.g., designer clothing, furniture, antiques, electronics) and any brands or styles you particularly seek. Provide clear guidelines on what you will and will not accept to manage expectations.
New Arrivals & Featured Inventory
Showcase a regularly updated selection of your latest and most desirable consigned items with high-quality photos and detailed descriptions. This entices buyers to visit your physical store or browse online, creating a sense of urgency.

Consignment website builder FAQs.
Clear answers about creating a consignment website, its content and the tools you can use.
Can I build a website for my consignment business with Grigora?
Yes, Grigora is suitable for building a professional website for your consignment business. Our drag-and-drop editor and 50+ customizable blocks allow you to showcase consigned items, explain your consignment process, and attract new consignors and buyers. Choose from 50+ ready-made templates to ensure a responsive and mobile-friendly design. Custom domain support, free SSL, CDN, and hosting are all included.
How can I display consigned items on my website?
While Grigora doesn't have an integrated e-commerce or inventory system, you can effectively display consigned items using the Directory Maker feature. This allows you to create detailed listings for each item, complete with images, descriptions, and pricing. You can also create dedicated gallery pages using our customizable blocks to visually showcase your inventory.
Does Grigora offer a way to accept consignor applications or inquiries?
Absolutely. Grigora's interactive form builder allows you to create custom lead capture forms tailored for consignor applications, item submission inquiries, or general contact. These forms help you gather essential information from potential consignors, streamlining your intake process and managing your relationships effectively.
Are there SEO features to help people find my consignment shop online?
Yes, Grigora provides robust SEO features to help your consignment shop get discovered. You'll find built-in on-page SEO suggestions, a keyword research tool, and meta tag customization to optimize for terms like 'consignment store your city' or 'sell used clothes.' Grigora also integrates with Google Search Console to monitor your local search performance.
Can I use AI to help write descriptions for consigned items or blog posts?
Yes, Grigora's AI tools can be very beneficial for consignment businesses. The AI blog writer and outline generator can assist in creating engaging content about sustainable fashion or unique finds. You can also use the AI paragraph rephraser to craft compelling descriptions for consigned items, making them more attractive to potential buyers.
Can I collect payments for sold consigned items or store credit?
While Grigora does not have a built-in e-commerce or payment processing system, you can easily embed Stripe and PayPal payment buttons or forms directly onto your website for simple direct sales or deposits. For managing payouts to consignors or complex store credit systems, you would need to integrate with external accounting or POS software via Zapier webhooks.
Every piece I sell is a single unique item - how do I stop two customers from buying the same thing at once?
Set each consignment item's inventory quantity to 1 in Grigora Commerce. Once it sells through Stripe or Razorpay checkout, the listing automatically flips to sold out, so you won't take a second order on a piece you no longer have. If a similar item comes in from another consignor, you list it as a new product rather than restocking the old one.
How do I list an oversized piece, like a dresser or sectional, that needs local delivery instead of a shipping carrier?
Use manual fulfillment for that product instead of automated carrier shipping, and set your shipping and tax settings to match how you actually move large items - whether that's a delivery fee you handle yourself or in-store pickup. You stay in control of arranging the drop-off rather than relying on a shipping label.
Can I run pay-what-you-want pricing on older or donated consignment stock I just want to move?
Yes. Grigora Commerce supports pay-what-you-want pricing alongside fixed prices and discounts, so aging inventory or donated pieces can be listed for whatever a buyer wants to offer instead of sitting at a fixed markdown.
How do I keep consignor questions (drop-offs, payout status, item pickup) separate from regular customer support email?
Grigora Mail gives you a business inbox on your own domain with up to 10 aliases, so you can run something like consignors@yourshop.com separately from support@ or hello@yourshop.com, with the built-in AI assistant helping draft quick replies to routine drop-off and pickup questions.
Can I feature new arrivals or spotlight individual consignors without cluttering my main product catalog?
Build a directory for it - for example a "New This Week" or "Meet Our Consignors" collection using typed fields like image, datetime (for intake date), and rich text for each seller's story. This runs through the CMS alongside your blog, separate from your Commerce product pages, so your shop listings stay focused on what's actually for sale.
How do I start selling consignment items online?
Photograph each piece, then add it as its own product with a description, condition notes, dimensions, a SKU and a quantity of one. Group them into the categories buyers browse by, such as furniture, jewellery or vintage clothing. Connect your Stripe or Razorpay account, set shipping or local pickup, and open the store.
How does this compare with running a consignment shop on Shopify?
Grigora puts the storefront, the site pages, the blog and the newsletter behind one login, with the AI drafting all of it before you edit. Inventory, variants, discounts, orders and refunds are built in, and payments go to your own Stripe or Razorpay account. Compare the current feature lists yourself before deciding.
How do I get my consignment store found in local searches?
Write a real location page with your address, hours, parking and neighbourhood, and repeat that information in the footer. Use the on-page suggestions, submit sitemaps, and ping IndexNow when new arrivals go up. Post about drop-off days and local pickup. No platform can promise a position, so treat this as groundwork.
How much does a consignment shop website cost?
Starter runs $15 a month billed annually, which is $144 a year, and Pro is $25 a month, with a free trial instead of a free plan. Card processing happens in your own Stripe or Razorpay account at their published rates, and the domain name is bought separately from the plan.
