How it works

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your transaction records are saved to IndexedDB — the same secure local storage used by banking apps and productivity tools. No data ever leaves your device.

1. Enter & Save Fill in transaction fields. Each record gets an auto-incremented sequential ticket number for your compliance log.

2. PDF Pawn Ticket Click PDF on any row to generate a state-compliant pawn ticket with customer ID fields, item description, hold-period note, and shop signature line — ready to print or save.

3. Filter & Search Use the search bar and date/type filters to quickly find any transaction for audits or customer lookups.

4. CSV Export Export any date range as a CSV compliance report containing all fields — customer name, ID type/number, item, serial, amount — for regulatory submissions or bookkeeping.

Note: Data is stored in this browser only. To back up records, export a CSV regularly and keep it in a secure location. Clearing browser data will erase stored transactions.

Frequently asked questions

What information does a pawn shop transaction log need to include for compliance?: Most U.S. state regulations (and many local ordinances) require pawn shops to record: the customer's full name and address, a government-issued photo ID type and number, the date of the transaction, a complete description of each item (including make, model, serial number, and quantity), the amount paid or loaned, and the hold/redemption period. Some jurisdictions also require the customer's date of birth or a thumbprint. This log captures all the standard fields so you can adapt it to your state's requirements. Always verify current requirements with your local law enforcement or licensing authority.
What is a "hold period" and why does it appear on the pawn ticket?: A hold period (also called a "waiting period" or "hold-before-sale" period) is the minimum number of days a pawnbroker must keep a purchased or pawned item before reselling or disposing of it. This period — typically 10 to 30 days depending on state and city law — exists to give law enforcement time to identify stolen property. The hold-period note on the PDF ticket shows when the item can legally be resold. This tool lets you enter the hold duration in days so the expiry date is calculated and printed on each ticket.
Is my transaction data secure and private?: Yes. All records are stored exclusively in your browser's IndexedDB — a sandboxed, local database that is not accessible to other websites or external servers. Nothing is uploaded or transmitted. For long-term security, export a CSV backup periodically and store it with your other business records. If you use a shared computer, be aware that other users of the same browser profile could potentially access stored data, so use a private browser profile for business use.
Can I use this for both pawn loans and outright purchases?: Yes. The "Pawn (Collateral Loan)" type is used when a customer pledges an item as collateral for a loan with the right to redeem it — this is the classic pawn transaction. The "Purchase (Outright Buy)" type is used when you buy an item outright with no right of redemption. Both types appear in the compliance log with their respective ticket numbers. Many states treat outright purchases under the same reporting rules as pawn transactions, which is why this log covers both.
How do I submit transaction records to law enforcement or a regulatory body?: Most jurisdictions accept electronic reports. Use the CSV export to generate a date-range compliance file and submit it via your local police department's online portal or by email, per their instructions. Some localities use dedicated software (e.g., LeadsOnLine, DataPawn); in those cases the CSV can serve as your internal backup record. Check with your local law enforcement non-emergency line or pawnbroker licensing office for the exact submission format required in your area.
