The Liberty Item Entry Lite App is tool designed to allow consignors, vendors, or other sellers to add inventory directly into a store's inventory management system. Items are added by selecting a category, entering a price, and a description for inventory. Photographs may be added as well. This app is only compatible with Resaleworld's Liberty software (Liberty 5 or Liberty 4 Consignment) and will only function once a store has set up device-specific access in Liberty's backend. Setup of the app requires a gateway address and a security key which will be generated by and provided by the store. Stores wishing to allow remote access via this app must have either a qualifying Web Service plan or a stand-alone Liberty Mobile Access license.
