Changelog

We’ve been working on making the image upload process faster and easier, and great photos shouldn’t require a separate editing app! With these updates, you can clean up item photos right inside SimpleConsign so your listings look polished from the start.

Inventory

• Remove Background: Say goodbye to cluttered racks, hangers, and countertops in your item photos! Open an item’s image in the inventory image viewer and click Remove Background to get a clean, transparent-background version. Like what you see? Accept and Replace swaps it in for every item sharing that SKU.

• Undo Background Removal: Changed your mind? No worries! We hang onto your original image so you can switch back anytime.

• Automatically Remove Image Backgrounds: Want every photo to come out listing-ready without lifting a finger? Turn on this location setting and backgrounds are removed as images are uploaded.

AI Item Entry

• Background Removal for AI Images: Locations with automatic background removal turned on will also get clean backgrounds on photos added through AI Item Entry. Snap, scan, and you’re done!

More rent collection upgrades for our Vendor Mall folks! You can now pull rent from vendor sales first and fall back to a card only when needed. Credit card surcharging (MSP) is also now supported on rent invoices. Check out the full rundown below.

Balance First, Credit Card Fallback

Tired of chasing down past-due rent? This one’s for you. With Balance First, Credit Card Fallback, rent is collected from the vendor’s account balance first, and their credit card on file is charged only for whatever is still owed. Fewer manual collections and less time spent tracking down payments.

This setting is available on the Vendor Mall Plus plan and is set at the location level, so it applies to every vendor at that location.

Credit Card Surcharging on Rent Collection

If your location has Merchant Surcharge Program (MSP) enabled, the surcharge now appears on rent invoices as its own line item labeled Credit Card Surcharge, so vendors can see exactly what they’re paying.

New: Card on File Agreement

Vendors will now see a card on file agreement in Consignor Access → Manage payments, and they’ll need to agree to it before they can add or manage their cards.

• Vendors who already have a card on file will see the agreement the next time they open Manage payments.

• New vendors will see it before entering a card for the first time.

Heads up: All vendors need to agree, even if your location doesn’t have MSP turned on. That way you’re all set if you decide to enable it later, with no extra steps for your vendors.
