For retailers and brands

Keep the second-hand market with you

Today your products are resold on other marketplaces, without you. With reCRQL it happens in your store, under your brand, with the revenue and the customer data staying with you.

One more sale per item

Commission on every item resold, and buyers who would otherwise have shopped elsewhere.

Sustainability you can show

Every item resold is one that does not need to be made. Count it in the sustainability report.

Customers who come back

The seller gets paid with you. The buyer finds you again. Both have a reason to return.

Data on the whole life of an item

See what gets resold, at what price and how fast. That is input for the next collection.

Live without building

We connect to your e-commerce and handle payment, shipping, customer service and payouts.

Your brand throughout

The store looks like yours. We are named as the partner, not the sender.

How It Works

From integration to the first sale

Four steps, and you build nothing yourself.

01

Connect

We connect reCRQL to your e-commerce. The store gets your look and your terms.

02

Items come in

Customers list theirs. You list returns, overstock and repaired items. Same flow.

03

Check and sell

Every item gets a description, a price and a check before it goes on sale.

04

Money and data back

The seller gets paid. You get commission and numbers on what is resold.

More than second-hand

Four kinds of stock, one store

Second-hand from your customers is the start. The same store sells what you have on the shelf but cannot sell as new.

Customers' pre-owned

Your customers list what they bought from you. We check, sell and pay out.

Store returns

Opened, tried, returned. Sold as second-hand instead of written off.

Overstock

Last season's sizes and colours get a price and a buyer instead of sitting on the shelf.

Repaired and refurbished

What comes back mended is sold again, with the repair as part of the item's history.

For Retailers

Everything you need, nothing to build

Store, payment, shipping, customer service and payouts are included.

E-commerce integration

API and plugins for the platform you already have.

Your own store

Look, range and rules are yours. You see everything in one place.

Statistics

What is listed, sold and returned, per item and per season.

Checks, shipping and customer service

We check the items, book the shipping and handle the claims.

For Consumers

Easy for the seller, safe for the buyer

A customer should not have to learn anything new to resell what they bought.

List in a minute

The purchase is already there. Pick the item, set the condition, done.

The right price from the start

Price suggestions based on the original price, condition and what similar items sold for.

Safe purchase

We hold the money until the item is delivered and approved.

The same store as always

The buyer shops second-hand where they shop new. No new account, no new app.

"We have worked with secondhand sales for many years and are happy to be able to expand our offer where we reach more customers in an efficient way and make it easier to resell their products now. Regardless of whether our users buy new products or second hand from us, it is important that they get the same overall experience."

"We are very pleased with the collaboration with reCRQL, where we can offer our customers to smoothly resell products they have bought from us. That the products we sell are used as long as possible is perhaps the single most important issue to reduce our climate impact."

"Consumer behaviour is changing at a rapid pace and we are seeing how today's customers are demanding secondhand products and a way to shop more sustainably to an increasing extent. So, it feels natural for us to also be able to offer resale our own e-commerce store. Several of our stores are already working with resale locally and they get a channel to reach out more widely."

About Us

We build retail that lasts

reCRQL comes from a simple observation: most of what is resold is resold outside the brand that made it. We build the tool that brings that sale home.

The mission

To make second-hand a natural part of every brand's store.

Simple first

If reselling is a hassle, nobody does it. So we remove steps until we cannot.

Partner, not vendor

We make money when you do.

Our Story

reCRQL was founded by a mother–daughter team united by the conviction that sustainability is essential to the future of retail. Guided by a clear mission, they set out to empower brands, retailers, and consumers to achieve their goals while contributing to a more resilient and prosperous planet.

They built reCRQL to shorten the path from "I don't use this any more" to a new owner.

Today reCRQL runs second-hand stores for brands and retailers, with both businesses and private sellers listing.
