Circular: AI-Powered Resale Software for Consignment Retailers

Circular (getcircular.ai) is an AI-powered resale platform for consignment stores and brand recommerce (also known as consignment software or secondhand store software). It helps teams manage consignment inventory management, intake and price items, print labels, sync sales with Zettle/Extenda GO and Shopify, manage seller payouts or store credit, and track results on a simple dashboard.

What is Circular?

Circular is AI-powered resale software for consignment retailers and brand recommerce programs, covering end-to-end consignment inventory management. Circular do intake, AI pricing, labels, POS sync, branded seller portals, and dashboard analytics.

Intake items in seconds (with AI pricing)

  • Snap photos, add basics (brand, size, material).
  • Get an AI price suggestion you can accept or tweak.
  • Assign to a seller and store, then print a label and you’re done.

Sell and sync automatically

  • Connect your Point of Sales (POS) (Zettle, Extenda GO ++) and/or Shopify for online sales.
  • When an item sells, Circular auto-updates status to Sold. No double work.
  • Not integrated yet? You can always mark items Sold manually. Either one by one or in bulk.

Give sellers a clear, modern experience

  • Sellers get a portal to see items, status, and earnings.
  • Choose wording: “earned commission” or “store credit.”
  • You decide if sellers can see listed prices and whether they can add items themselves (with optional approval).

Book and manage drop-offs

No more paying for Calendly or other booking-apps. You can do this directly in Circular.

  • Set a delivery schedule for drop-offs: slot duration, capacity, buffers, excluded dates.
  • Sellers book times that work for them.
  • Optional emails: booking confirmations and reminders.

Pay out or keep it in-store

  • Enable payout requests (with optional fee as fixed or %), or keep it simple with balance adjustments.
  • Nudge more in-store spend by using store credit as the default wording.

Work smarter with statuses (your daily control panel)

  • Active → Sold (auto via POS or manual). Your sellers are notified immediately when a product is sold.
  • Pick-up for items past the sales period. Notify sellers to collect.
  • Returned when items are picked up.
  • Donated to transfer ownership to the store after your deadline.
  • Stolen / Damaged with clear rules for whether the store assumes the loss or not.

Automate the right messages

Toggle on the emails you want:

  • Welcome, Delivery booked/reminder/cancelled/rescheduled
  • Product sold (instant. Sellers love this)
  • Product pick-up + reminder (batched each morning)
  • Payout created

See what matters on your dashboard

  • Products added and Products sold in the period you choose.
  • Active now and Expired now (still active but past sales period).
  • Top brands, categories, sellers (follows your date filter).
  • Sell-Through Rate (STR) on completed periods. Simple, honest conversion.

Show your positive impact (simple and human)

Circular translates resale activity into CO₂ and water saved (avoided new production) using WRAP’s methodology and reputable LCAs.

  • Easy equivalents: “like planting X trees” and “a full year of drinking water for Y people.”
  • Clear, defensible, and motivating for staff, sellers and customers.

Invite the team and grow

  • Add coworkers in seconds (an email can’t be both seller and coworker).
  • Use one workspace for one store or many. Multi-store ready.

What a typical day feels like

  • Morning: open Dashboard, prep Expired → Pick-up items and send the batched pick-up emails.
  • During the day: intake items with AI pricing, print labels, sell as normal.
  • Weekly: process payouts, tidy uncollected Pick-up → Donated if your terms allow.
  • Anytime: glance at Top brands/categories/sellers and STR to guide buying and pricing.

Getting started (5 minutes)

1. Set basics: name, email, currency, logo, colors.
2. Choose consignment rules: sales period, seller share, assume-loss settings.
3. Schedule drop-offs: slots, buffers, excluded dates.
4. Connect POS (Zettle/Extenda GO) and/or Shopify.
