Debuts with an Impressive Network of Partners
NEW YORK, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Reshop is a new platform redefining refunds for consumers and merchants, debuting with a strong lineup of launch partners, including premium lifestyle brand Alo Yoga, iconic American footwear brand Steve Madden, and Orveon’s collective of premium cosmetic brands (bareMinerals, Laura Mercier, and Buxom), as well as leading post-purchase provider Narvar.
Typically, consumers wait days or even weeks to receive their money back after making a return. Reshop, however, is transforming this antiquated system by removing the wait time for shoppers to get their money back. It is not store credit, Reshop instead frees up funds that normally sit dormant, immediately putting power back in the hands of consumers to spend their refund right away, wherever they want.
“We see an opportunity to disrupt a traditional process to deliver unique value to both merchants and consumers,” said Katie Pridham, Chief Commercial Officer at Reshop. “With Reshop, customers can receive instant refunds—offering them greater flexibility, control, and confidence to shop again right away. For merchants, Reshop can help transform what has historically been a loss into an opportunity to recapture customers and drive additional revenue.”
Data reveals that 90% of shoppers would make repeat purchases from a merchant that offers instant refunds and 2/3 of Americans believe returns are the absolute worst part of shopping. Reshop and its partners are on a mission to enhance this experience and see fast refunds as a way to minimize consumer and merchant pain points.
“We’re thrilled to partner with Reshop as we continually seek innovative ways to enhance our customers’ shopping experience. Through this partnership, we will offer shoppers greater flexibility by receiving refunds immediately, ultimately improving the overall post-purchase experience for our customers,” said Josh Krepon, President of US DTC & Global Digital at Steven Madden.
Reshop’s partnership with Narvar integrates into existing platforms and the return operations of new and existing Narvar merchants, which has over 1,400 renowned partners serving 90% of all U.S. adult consumers.
The Reshop platform is backed by founding shareholders Anthony Eisen and Nick Molnar, co-founders of Afterpay, and a list of powerful investors, including Matrix Partners, Sound Ventures (venture-capital firm co-founded by Ashton Kutcher and Guy Oseary), Mantis VC (an early-stage venture fund in partnership with The Chainsmokers) and more. In the coming months, Reshop will also introduce additional men’s and women’s fashion labels to its growing network of partner merchants, solidifying the platform’s popularity among key lifestyle brands.
“In building Afterpay we quickly recognized that financial confidence is instilled when consumers have more control and flexibility over their funds. In a world where money moves instantaneously, there’s an untapped opportunity that lies within the refund category. Reshop is going to bring innovation to an industry that is ripe for disruption, which will benefit both sides of the shopping ecosystem,” said Anthony Eisen, Chairman of the Board and Investor.
