What is Pawn Magic?

Pawn Magic is a Windows desktop pawn shop program that handled pawns, resales, payday and title loans, rentals and check cashing, with label and tag printing and gun/police reporting. The problem now is availability: a search for "Pawn Magic" turns up no website listing for the software name, and pawnmagic.com is not online. Like many small one-developer pawn programs, Pawn Magic appears to have been discontinued, with no published pricing or visible vendor support.

Discontinued software is a risk you don't have to carry. When there's no vendor to call and no updates coming, a failed PC or a compliance change can leave you stuck. Move to maintained software while your Pawn Magic data is still intact — we'll convert it for you for $395.

Everything you ran in Pawn Magic — and more

PawnSmarts processes pawns, retail resales, layaway and store credit, sends reports to LEADS Online and local police, and (on Professional) puts guns on hold with an ATF Bound Book, Form 4473 at redemption and an electronic gun log. Scan a driver's license to populate a new pledgor record — fewer keystrokes, fewer errors. Print adhesive labels and hang tags with or without barcodes, from jewelry size up to shipping labels.

No rip-off pricing

Plenty of competitors plan to bleed your shop with never-ending, ever-increasing fees — web-based software that stops the day you stop paying, or a big up-front price followed by a mandatory annual "support" charge where the real money starts. PawnSmarts is the honest version: $89/month for Essential or $129/month for Professional with no contract, or $2,995 once to own Professional outright (free with our card processing). No setup fee, no exit fee. Data migration is a one-time $395 and you're live in under 24 hours.

Just say no to rip-off pawn software. Pay a fair, published price, keep the savings working in your shop, and run on software someone is actually maintaining.

Is Pawn Magic cloud-based or web-based?
