What is Trendful?
Trendful is resale and consignment software for merchants who buy pre-owned fashion and luxury goods directly from their own customers. It covers the whole chain: taking in seller submissions, pricing and quoting them, shipping items in, tracking inventory, listing to a storefront, and paying sellers out.
Who it is built for
From a single shop to multi-location chains and franchises, Trendful is built for businesses that buy pre-owned inventory from their own customers.
- Luxury consignment stores
- Take in designer pieces on consignment, track them through to sale, and pay consignors their share automatically.
- Pre-owned handbag and watch dealers
- Buy outright with condition-based market values behind every offer, so you are not pricing from gut feel.
- Designer resale boutiques and vintage sellers
- Run mixed inventory across the shop floor and your online store without keeping two sets of records.
- Social-first resellers
- When submissions arrive through Instagram or TikTok rather than a website, share a sell form link and take them anyway.
- Multi-location resale chains
- One workflow across every shop, with inventory, staff permissions, and shipping scoped per location.
- Resale franchises
- Give every franchisee the same intake, pricing, and payout workflow under one brand, while each keeps its own customers and books.
Intake, shipping, inventory, and payouts work for any pre-owned category. Built-in market values currently cover handbags and watches.
The three offer types
Every submission ends in one of three offers, and merchants choose which to enable.
Buyout
You pay cash upfront and the item is yours. The seller walks away done, and the upside is all yours.
Best for Moving quickly on inventory you know will sell.
Consignment
You list the item and share the proceeds once it finds a buyer. Nothing leaves your account until it does.
Best for Higher-value pieces you would rather not buy outright.
Trade-in
The seller takes store credit or a gift card instead of cash, usually at a better rate than you would pay out.
Best for Turning sellers into shoppers and keeping value in-store.
How it works, step by step
Your team runs the whole thing from one place. Your customers only ever see your brand.
- 1
A customer submits an item
Through the sell form or the resale app, with photos and condition details.
- 2
Trendful surfaces the market value
The item is matched against 70,000+ luxury references, with condition-based values for the merchant to review.
- 3
The merchant sets the offer
Most review each item and price it themselves. Saved pricing strategies can generate instant offers instead.
- 4
The item ships in
On acceptance, Trendful generates a prepaid label with tracking and optional insurance.
- 5
It lands in inventory
Inspected, added to stock, and listed to Shopify in one click.
- 6
The seller gets paid
By bank transfer, PayPal, Venmo, or store credit, tracked from their own account.
How customers submit items
Three ways in, all landing in the same place.
- Sell form
- One flow, wherever you need it. Share the link, embed it on your site, or leave it open on a tablet in store so walk-ins can submit for themselves. Styled to your brand, with no customer account required.
- Resale app
- A white-labelled storefront experience running on your own domain, embedded in your site or opened as a pop-up. Customers get accounts, offer history, and payout tracking.
- Manual entry
- Staff enter walk-in or phone submissions directly in the admin, so nothing has to start online.
The sell form, the resale app, and the emails your customers receive all run under your branding, and how far the customization goes depends on your plan.
What is included
Pricing, quotes, shipping, customer emails, payouts, and inventory are all parts of the same platform, not separate tools to stitch together.
- Pricing data
- Fair market values for more than 70,000 luxury handbag and watch references, built from real sold listings and adjusted for condition. Merchants keep control: most review each item and set the offer themselves.
- Quotes and offers
- Send a quote in a click for buyout, consignment, or store credit, with the whole history kept on the offer. Customers accept straight from their email or their account.
- Shipping and returns
- Prepaid inbound labels with discounted rates, live tracking, multi-item packages, and optional insurance. Return labels too, for anything you decide not to take.
- Automated emails
- Confirmations, quote notifications, shipping updates, and reminders send themselves under your branding, so nobody on your team is chasing customers by hand.
- Payouts
- Same-day ACH in the US, PayPal and Venmo, or store credit and gift cards issued through the storefront. Sellers track the status from their own account.
- Inventory and listings
- Accepted items move straight into stock, across multiple locations if you run them, and list to Shopify in one click.
