Simple Consign Orientation for Consigners
This orientation covers consigner inventory and payout protocols from 5/13 going forward. We're super excited about these new developments and how they will help us help you sell your work!
We recently changed our backend system to SimpleConsign.
You will receive an email from “ConsignerAccess” app@consignoraccess.com
- The email will have:
- Subject: “Quimby's Bookstore: ConsignorAccess Invitation”
- Your Consigner ID number which will never change.
- A temporary password which you will be prompted to change
After you login:
- You will be directed to fill out your profile.
- Basic Information:
- This is the name we have on file from when you first consigned with Quimby’s. Feel free to change this to the name you use
- Both Quimby’s and ConsignorAccess hold accounts based on the name of an individual, not a press or imprint or business name. Please use the name you use as an individual, or the name of your press’s point of contact.
- Address:
- We do not need your physical address
- We do like to know your city and state or country
- NOTE: We are using your street address field during this transition to notate the last time you checked in and were paid from our old system.
- Please do not change this!
- We do not need your physical address
- Contact:
- We only need your email address

- NOTE: Any old title listed as a quantity of 1 (or perpetually staying at 1) is likely at 0. We had to migrate our data with all sold out titles at 1 or they would not populate Simple Consign.
