Croissant's app officially transitioned out of beta, introducing the industry's first "shop now, sell later" resale experience for iOs. Croissant’s shopping tools and new iOS app are free for customers to use, and by introducing guaranteed resale pricing called Guaranteed Buybacks, Croissant offers an alternative to the popular "buy now, pay later" model.
According to its research, Croissant found that 75% of customers in the United States want an effortless, transparent way to participate in the resale economy beyond the existing resale marketplaces and consigning options. "For the first time, users can channel the power and convenience of Guaranteed Buybacks on a single device—from the moment of purchase, all the way to the point of payout," says Croissant CEO and Co-Founder John Howard, "The way we shop and resell will never be the same."
With AI-generated resale prices, Guaranteed Buybacks and a reinvented resale experience, Croissant is attracting a wider audience to the resale economy.
