Returnal

Founded 2023

Manage trade-in programs for retail brands to increase customer retention and resale revenue

You can use Returnal to set up branded trade-in and resale programs for retail stores and ecommerce brands. Instead of losing returning items to third-party marketplaces, you can invite customers to trade in their pre-owned goods directly with you. You issue store credit that encourages buyers to fund their next purchase at full price. Returnal hosts the exchange experience on a custom subdomain, letting you accept preloved items, take back your customer relationships, manage secondary market commerce, and keep margins within your direct sales channels.
