As with any software program, you learn about the special features as you use the product and as time passes. This is what happened to me with Vendoo. My latest discovery using Vendoo is that when you sell an item, if you complete the selling fees and cost of goods sold and any additional shipping costs that you paid for, and list these details on Vendoo, it will track your analytics. By filling out this information, you have your own analytics on the items you have sold which you can sort by day, month, year, etc. For me, I just started completing these details but I'm trying to go back and fill them in, at least through January 1st so that I will have them completed for taxes next year. You are able to see what platform you preformed best on and lots of other details.
I have now uploaded all of my items for sale on Etsy, Poshmark, and eBay to Vendoo. As I mentioned in an earlier post, it continues to take the item down from other platforms when it sells within about five minutes or so and I love that.
Today, I went through some stale inventory on Etsy and moved it over to Poshmark and Ebay which I have also done in reverse if the items fit Etsy's categories.
I am not sponsored by Vendoo and paid for all of their services from my own pocket. I just like to find honest feedback on programs out there that are not swayed by sponsorships. Sponsorships are fine as I watch them consistently on artists I follow but in this case, I want to read an unbiased review.
Another reason I am excited to find Vendoo keeping track of sales and details is that I had been paying for Quickbooks Self-Employed for a whole year and when taxes were due this year and I was ready to use Quickbooks Self-Employed, and I can't get into my account, even though they had taken my monthly $25 every month, and I find out they discontinued this product and never notified me of it. What a shock! However, the good news is that I learned from doing my taxes this year that their product was not needed. I was able to download all of the information I needed from my selling platforms to complete my tax information. I was not happy that I was out the monthly money which served me NONE. Quickbooks self employed never tracked inventory and it was one of the areas that I found lacking. In any event, I have moved on from that product and am even more excited about Vendoo.
All in all, I hope me sharing this information with you about my small business will help you in some small way with yours.
Take care!
