Trade in the old camera without leaving the webshop.

Instant offer in the shop, trade-in in the cart. The customer pays only the difference.

More buybacks online, less work for the team.

For your customers

  • Instant price, evenings and Sundays too
  • Trade in without leaving the shop
  • Pays only the difference, with a bonus

For your team

  • Fewer queries thanks to guided condition questions
  • No buyback gets lost, even without a catalog entry
  • Added with a script, no changes to the checkout

Three steps to the offer.

  1. Find the model

    Type the name or take a photo, and the AI recognizes the model.

  2. State the condition

    Clear questions with pictures instead of free text.

  3. Instant offer

    The price is there at once, with the trade-in value next to it.

Trade in from the cart, pay only the difference.

The buyback price and the trade-in bonus come straight off the price. That makes the trade-in part of the buying decision.

  • Buyback page

Example: Sony Alpha 7 IV for $2,199, less the buyback of the Sony Alpha 7 II $360 and the trade-in bonus $36. To pay $1,803.

Started online, bought in store.

Many customers check the price online and then come to the store. That turns the online trade-in into a lead for your store: your team knows the item, the offer and the contact before the visit.

  • Offer online, drop-off in store
  • Order and contact in the employee portal
  • Trade in for something new on the spot

This is a preview and a slimmed-down version of the Loopia trade-in. Prices are examples. In the live solution your customers also get emails, tracking, ID checks and the full product catalog.

Your customer ships the device or drops it off.

After the trade-in, your customer chooses how the old device gets to you. Both ways continue in the same order.

Questions about online trade-in

How does trading in for a new product work?

At checkout, Loopia deducts the buyback price and the trade-in bonus straight from the purchase amount, and the customer pays only the difference. On the buyback page, the customer picks the new product from your shop after the offer. You can also set up the flow so that it ends with a voucher code for an immediate purchase.

What if the customer would rather have money?

Then they choose a payout by bank transfer, without the trade-in bonus. The trade-in stays the path you encourage with the bonus. You decide how high it is.

Can the online trade-in be added to our webshop?

Yes, with any web framework. You add it to the product page, as its own buyback page or in the checkout. The design is matched to your shop with CSS. If you want to build your own front end, you use Loopia headless.

What happens if the stated condition is not right?

The guided questions with pictures keep differences small. If your team still finds one during the inspection, it makes a counteroffer through the system. The customer accepts or declines it in the customer portal.

What if a product is not in the catalog?

Then the customer enters it and sends a request. Your team decides whether to make an offer or decline the product.

Does the online trade-in also bring customers into the store?

Yes. Many check the price online and then bring the device to the store. For the drop-off they pick a store and get a reference code. Your team sees the order, the offer and the contact in the employee portal, inspects the device on site and credits it straight against the new purchase.

How does AI help with the online trade-in?

The AI search finds the right model in the catalog, even with typos or vague names. With product recognition, a photo of the device is enough. The pricing AI suggests the price from current market data, within the rules you set.

Does the trade-in work on a smartphone?

Yes. Most customers sell from their phone, so the flow is built for it. On a desktop everything works the same way.
