Started online, bought in store.

Many customers check the price online and then bring the device to the store, where they trade it in for a new one. The online trade-in brings you customers who arrive with an offer in hand.

At homeonline

  1. Find the device by photo or search
  2. Get an offer and a reference code
  3. Choose drop-off in store

In storeat the counter

  1. Find the order by its reference code
  2. Check the actual condition
  3. Trade in and take the new one home

Webshop, customer portal and employee portal work on the same data, so status and prices are current in every channel. It works the other way round too: a customer confirms an offer from the store later online.

Questions about trade-in in store

Can customers trade in for a new product right in the store?

Yes. Your team values the device, the customer picks the new product, and the value with the trade-in bonus is credited at the till against the purchase. The customer pays only the difference, $1,803 instead of $2,199 in this example. A customer who does not buy anything new gets paid out.

Do we need special hardware or scanners?

No. Loopia runs in the browser, on any tablet, PC or laptop in the store. For product recognition, the camera of the tablet or phone is enough. A standard barcode scanner captures the EAN or IMEI faster, but you do not need one.

How does AI help in store?

Your team takes a photo of the device, and product recognition suggests the matching model from the catalog. The pricing AI calculates the buyback price from current market data and your rules. Your team checks the condition and confirms.

What if the customer does not accept the offer in store?

Nothing is binding until the customer agrees. Your team sends the offer by email, and the customer can accept it later from home.

Can customers start online and drop the device off in store?

Yes, and many do. They value the device at home and get a reference code. In store, your team finds the order, checks the actual condition and completes the buyback, often together with the purchase of the new device.

Can staff adjust the calculated price?

Yes, if they are authorized, and within the rules you set. That lets your team respond in a negotiation or give regular customers a bonus.

Can part-time staff handle it?

Yes. The interface guides them through the valuation step by step. After a short intro, part-time staff handle buybacks with confidence too.
