Why store credit

A payout that comes home.

Cash leaves your business. Store credit brings the customer back to the till. Trade-in turns a return into your next sale — and you keep the margin on the resale too.

+12%

Credit tops up

Offer credit above cash value — it still costs you less than paid acquisition.

100%

Stays on-brand

Credit can only be spent with you, so the payout funds a second order.

Repeat intent

Trade-in customers return to spend, lifting repeat-purchase rate.

How trade-in works · five steps

Trade-in, end to end.

You take the item back, grade it, and resell it. Zelph runs the workflow and the channels — your 3PL handles the items.

Step 01

Customer trades in

Customer trades in an item through your branded portal; a pre-paid label is issued.

Step 02

Brand takes it back

The item ships into your store, warehouse or 3PL — you own it from here.

Step 03

Graded & valued

Inspected, graded A / B / C and valued. The customer is paid in brand or store credit — bringing them back to spend with you.

Step 04

Zelph lists

Listed on your main storefront or a separate pre-loved branded storefront — plus eBay, Vestiaire, Vinted in one submission.

Step 05

Buyer re-buys

A new customer buys; you keep the full margin and the relationship.
