The problem

Buying second-hand jewellery should not feel risky.

Many jewellers still handle margin products manually — and it creates unnecessary stress and accounting mistakes.

Most jewellers still handle margin products with:

  • Loose paperwork
  • Calculation mistakes
  • Unclear administration
  • Disconnected purchase records
  • Photos stored on phones

Weeks later, nobody remembers:

  • Nobody remembers where the product came from
  • The original purchase price is forgotten
  • VAT was not handled correctly
  • Which customer sold the item is unclear
  • Actual profit made is unknown

PrismaNote brings structure to the entire process — so instead of chasing paperwork and guessing numbers, your team can focus on customers and growing your second-hand business.

  • Register margin purchases directly at the POS
  • Connect purchases to customers instantly
  • Upload photos and documentation
  • Convert purchases into stock products automatically
  • Handle margin VAT correctly in the background

How it works

One workflow from purchase to resale.

1

Register second-hand purchases in seconds

When purchasing a product from a customer, your team can quickly register the transaction directly from the POS. The purchase is automatically stored in a dedicated margin category within your statistics and reports.

Simply:

  • Open Margin Purchase
  • Enter the purchase amount
  • Connect the customer
  • Upload photos or documentation
  • Complete the registration
2

Instantly convert purchases into stock products

After registration, PrismaNote allows you to create a stock product directly from the purchase transaction. The system automatically links the original purchase, the purchase amount, the VAT settings, the transaction number and the created stock item.

Designed for jewellery stores handling:

  • Second-hand jewellery
  • Vintage pieces
  • Pre-owned watches
  • Trade-in products
  • Unique one-off items
3

Margin VAT handled correctly

Margin VAT calculations can quickly become confusing when handled manually. PrismaNote simplifies the process by automatically applying VAT only to the profit margin between purchase and selling price.

That means:

  • Fewer calculation mistakes
  • Cleaner bookkeeping
  • Better reporting
  • More confidence during audits
  • Less manual administration
4

Upload photos and customer documentation

Need proof of purchase or product condition? With PrismaNote, every registration can include photos, customer ID images, insurance documentation and supporting files. Everything stays connected to the transaction and product record.

Every registration can include:

  • Product photos
  • Customer ID images
  • Insurance documentation
  • Supporting files
5

Sell margin products like normal stock

Once the product is added to your assortment, it can simply be sold through the cash register like any regular item. Scan the product, choose the payment method, complete the sale. PrismaNote automatically handles the linked margin administration in the background.

6

Professional invoices and clean records

Every transaction can immediately generate a professional invoice. That means organised administration, better customer confidence, consistent documentation and less manual work. Your jewellery store looks more professional at every stage of the process.

That means:

  • Organised administration
  • Better customer confidence
  • Consistent documentation
  • Less manual work
7
