I am a Software Developer, System Administrator, and consignment software specialist. I currently manage hundreds of consignment workstations, point of sale systems, and database servers all across North America and I am the developer of Peeps' Software, Peeps2Go, and Peeps' Consignor Login for iOS and Android. I've been helping consignment & resale store-owners since 2003. I started The Computer Peeps in February of 2010. Peeps' Software launched in 2016 and is now on hundreds of systems all across North America. I have successfully converted dozens of stores from all of the major consignment software systems. After 20 years of working with consignment stores, I understand the unique challenges consignment & resale store-owners face. From electrical issues in old buildings or strip malls, to advocating for them when their old consignment software keeps crashing.

Recently, we had a store report they could no longer print to a tag printer, that was shared and physically plugged-in to another computer. That other computer was running Windows 10 and it started Tuesday/Wednesday — i.e. Windows Updates. tl;dr – Remove KB5005565 from the Windows 10 machine.

Shopify Banning Consignment/Resale Stores
