Trove Alternatives - Brandback
Resale is no longer just a sustainability initiative—it’s a core growth engine. Forward-thinking brands are asking not only “how do we launch resale?” but “how do we make resale profitable, scalable, and part of the customer journey?”
Trove has helped pioneer branded resale programmes. But if you want resale to maximise product value, integrate with your commerce stack, and strengthen loyalty across geographies, Brandback was built for you.
What Trove offers
Trove builds and operates branded resale platforms, primarily for large US retailers. Its model supports managed logistics, buy-back programmes, and consumer resale experiences. For many brands, this is an entry point into resale at scale.
But Trove typically runs resale as an external operation—separate from your Ecommerce stack, analytics, and CRO levers. That makes it harder to connect resale insights back to growth strategy, especially if you’re a DTC brand outside the US.
How Brandback is different
Brandback embeds resale directly into your commerce environment, turning it from an outsourced programme into a growth channel you control.
- Global readiness: Unlike Trove’s US-centric focus, Brandback is built for global DTC brands across Europe and beyond.
- Marketplace analytics: Link resale performance to your product catalogue, pricing, and CRO strategy.
- Value maximisation: AI-driven pricing ensures you capture more resale margin per SKU.
- Integrated, owned resale: Runs natively inside Shopify or Centra—no separate resale site.
- CRO impact: Feed resale insights into PDP optimisation, promotions, and pricing decisions.
- Loyalty & retention: Reward sellers with vouchers or store credit, lifting LTV.
- Ecosystem-ready: Push data into Klaviyo, ERPs, loyalty tools, and CDPs for end-to-end visibility.
- Brand equity: By keeping resale inside your main store, you elevate sustainability credentials and strengthen long-term brand value.
