The differences between the two plans are:
Both the Startup and Boutique Plans offer the same basic features, including Facebook integration, Instagram integration, a Webstore, Shopify integration, Facebook support (Groups, Pages, and Messenger), scheduled Facebook posts, inventory management, automatic invoices, integrated shipping/label printing, and live chat support.
There are no contracts or hidden fees with CommentSold. You only pay a month by month subscription + sales commission. The sales commission will vary with which plan you choose. See pricing for details.
We charge a percentage to cover costs. The level of support we provide requires us to maintain our evergrowing staff, so we can provide you with unparalleled world-class support. With regular product updates, we also have to consider development costs to keep our product up-to-date and working towards feature requests. This allows CommentSold users to focus on growing their businesses while we focus on IT operations.
The Shopify Integration allows you to have the same products & inventory on both Shopify & CommentSold. If you sell on one platform, it’ll update the inventory on the other platform as well.
CommentSold does not integrate with other website hosts. However, all of our plans come with a free customizable website called the CommentSold Webstore.
We do not currently integrate with a POS system, but we are working towards this!
However, we do integrate with Shopify. Shopify has the integration for some POS systems, which makes it a great workaround in the meantime.
CommentSold charges $0.05 per label. The shipping costs will be at USPS commercial rates.
CommentSold has all the shipping and fulfillment tools already built-in!
But, if you prefer to use a third-party app, CommentSold integrates with ShipStation through Shopify and GoShippo.
The vision for CommentSold was born in 2014 when Brandon Kruse, CommentSold’s CEO, was listening to the problems his wife, Amanda, was facing with her expanding online boutique.
Amanda started Discount Divas as a Facebook group, where she manually invoiced customers who claimed items by commenting “Sold” and their size, color, and email. She hit $30,000/mo but seemed to hit a wall with manual invoicing.
Brandon, Amanda’s husband and a successful programmer, created a software that automated Amanda’s invoicing. Using this new program, Discount Divas quickly grew to $100k/mo.
As word got around, everyone wanted to know what this secret solution was that saved Amanda and the Divas team so many hours and has exploded their growth. Thus, CommentSold was born. Today, CommentSold serves thousands of retailers, helping them to grow and scale their business every day.
