About ThriftCart

ThriftCart is a point of sale system designed with thrift stores and reuse stores in mind. ThriftCart can help increase revenue by prompting customers for round-up donations, which is particularly effective for non-profit thrift stores. ThriftCart allows for color-based discounts to help move your merchandise more quickly, give customers good value, and get the best price. ThriftCart can work for both small and large thrift stores, including thrift stores with multiple locations. ThriftCart is designed to be easy enough for a volunteer cashier to learn in minutes, but robust enough to provide all the tools you need to run your thrift store.

ThriftCart also has additional optional modules like a donation pickup scheduling tool, a drop-off donation tracking tool, and a timesheet system. The modules interact with each other to allow you to see whether your customers are also donors or volunteers.

Because ThriftCart is a cloud-based solution, reports are easily accessible from anywhere.

Best POS we hav used.

Thrift Cart has been one of the most positive and pivotal decisions we’ve made as an organization. Their POS is easy to set up and use, and they make helpful suggestions in what hardware and other supplies to purchase. Their customer service is quick to respond and provide the right answer.

Pros:

The ability to build rotational discounts is a major factor in Thrift Cart being the best POS we’ve used. Maybe most important though, is the ability to track sales and categories in their excellent reports they make available. Their pickup software is also fantastic. They routinely suggest new features they have developed and keep their customers up to date. I highly recommend Thrift Cart.

Cons:

Implementation was a bit difficult initially. However, upon setting up our second store, they had already made massive improvements.

Reasons for choosing ThriftCart

The options they provided in discount reporting was the main reason.

Reasons for switching to ThriftCart

Outstanding Thrift Shop Product - Customer focused with easy implementation

Ratings Breakdown

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

Thrift Cart is truly designed with thrift shops in mind. If there’s a specific feature we need, it’s either already available or can be added with ease. The platform is user-friendly, and the support team is exceptional—always just a phone call or text away, resolving almost all issues immediately. The round-up donation feature is particularly effective, generating impressive revenue, while the text messaging capabilities and integrated loyalty program are instrumental in building a strong and engaged customer base. Overall, Thrift Cart has proven to be an invaluable tool for our operations

Cons:

Not necessarily a con but rather areas where Thrift Cart could be enhanced. The visual design of the product appears somewhat outdated compared to other software we've used.

Reasons for choosing ThriftCart

Thrift shop focused with built in features unique to thrifting.

ThriftCart has made great changes in our strore

Our overall experience with ThriftCart has been one of the best I have ever had with a company. Their whole team is absolutely great and very helpful and i am recommending ThriftCart to every thrift store that I talk to.

Functionality

Pros:

ThriftCart was built with thrift stores in mind and offers almost everything a thrift store would need in a POS/donation scheduling system. The setup process is very in-depth and their team is always willing to help no matter how small the concern might be. Overall we are saving over $500 per month by moving to ThrifCart.

Cons:

The only cons I would mention is ThriftCart could be a little more upfront with their card processing percentage and what equipment is needed. We were told our card processing parcentage would be 2.8% and when we signed the paperwork, the actual percentage rate was 2.89. This was not deal breaker, but it does add up to more cost in the long run. When we first contacted ThriftCart we were informed that some of our equipment from previous POS systems that we had might work. In the end we ended up having to purchase some new equipment and luckily we had some donated from another source.

Reasons for choosing ThriftCart

ThriftCart offer the most robust system for the least amount of money, not to mention that the customer service is some of the best in the industry. I had research ThrifCart for two years before going with them and I have been very happy sense. Their general manager attends many events to show their product and is always willing to take time and talk to people in groups or one on one.

Reasons for switching to ThriftCart

We decided to step away from Clover because their system is setup more for the food/restaurant industry and not for thrift stores. They also require you to use third-party apps for anything extra such as barcoding, labeling and loyalty programs. These apps cost extra on top of your monthly fees to Clover. They also charge extra to use gift card and their card processing fees are variable and very expensive. The reasons we moved away form Vonigo was for lack of customer care, a very complicated reporting system and their unwillingness to work with their clients. The only way to contact them is through email and you would be lucky if you got help through that email. They no longer answer their phones and give very evasive answers through email.

Done Better

Before using ThriftCart about 80% of my time was spent scheduling donation pickups. Now that is about 40% (depending on time of year). Prior to using ThriftCart we were using an email for donors to request pick-ups which required a lot of back and forth communication. ThriftCart allows donors to go online and request specific dates and times which eliminates the back and forth. While I still have to monitor all the incoming requests, and regularly call some donors to ask questions, it is still a big time saver.

Pros:

Ease of use, intuitive functionality and customization.

Cons:

ThriftCart has a few navigational quirks which can only be learned by using, but once you've had some time with it they are easily overcome.

Reasons for choosing ThriftCart

We spent 6 months with Vonigo trying to set up a simple scheduling program for our donation pick-up service and they still couldn't make it do what we wanted. It took ThriftCart about a month to get us operational. One of the best aspects of ThriftCart for me is being able to set up a geographic area to my specifications so we can maximize efficiency, and reduce wasted time and fuel. Within 1 hour of examining ThriftCart I was ready to sign up.

Vendor Response

I'm glad ThriftCart is able to save you so much time with donation pickup scheduling! I know it's tricky for a lot of thrift stores and reuse stores to manage donation pickup scheduling, and I'm glad ThriftCart was a time-saver for you! Keep up the good work!

Pros:

No downfalls only wish is that we could integrate even more functions like volunteer tracking, build schedule and volunteer events and maybe donor data base but not all programs can do everything!

Reasons for choosing ThriftCart

Thrift cart offered more features like sending surveys and our scheduling systems so we do not need to combine multiple reports when gathering customer information.

Reasons for switching to ThriftCart

Thrift cart was more user friendly.

Thanks Erin! We love having you as a customer! I'm also very happy that you want to have more functions inside of ThriftCart. I'm always looking for new useful features for customers, so I certainly appreciate your input.
