Big news: you can now accept payments directly through your Thryft Ship form. That means no more juggling Venmo, PayPal, CashApp, or Zelle, no more chasing screenshots as proof of payment, and no more headaches reconciling orders with random transactions.
Your buyers can now check out in seconds — and you stay organized from sale to shipment.
Until now, most resellers had to:
Send buyers their Venmo/PayPal/CashApp info
Wait for a screenshot to confirm payment
Manually match payments to the right order
Deal with the confusion when buyers ghosted or got lost in the process
That system isn’t just messy — it costs you real money and time. Missed payments, hours of reconciliation, and even the loss of buyer trust add up.
With Thryft Ship Payments, everything happens in one place. Buyers check out, you get paid, and your orders + labels stay neatly tied together.
Pay Later → Give your buyers the option to keep an “open order” and pay when they’re ready — or turn it off if you prefer upfront payments.
Fee on Me → By default, your buyers cover the Stripe processing fee (2.9% + 30¢), but you can choose to absorb it yourself if you’d like.
And coming soon: you’ll be able to purchase shipping labels directly from your Thryft Ship balance.
Stripe Payment Processing Fee: 2.9% + 30¢ per transaction (covered by your customer by default)
Thryft Ship fee: 2% of the subtotal
Which means for most sellers, the only fee you’re paying is 2% of the subtotal.
Let’s run the numbers.
Say you sell $1,000/month through Thryft Ship Payments:
Buyers cover Stripe fees by default
Your cost = $20 (2% Thryft Ship fee)
That’s just $20/month to have payments + shipping fully automated and organized in one place
Now, compare that to the old way:
Losing even 1–2 sales a month due to confusion or ghosting: $50–$100 in lost revenue
Spending 5+ hours reconciling Venmo/PayPal/Zelle and chasing screenshots: $75+ of your time (valued at $15/hour, likely more)
Buyers hesitating because “Leave the Instagram app and pay me on Venmo” feels unprofessional: lost credibility and repeat sales
For just 2%, you save hours, prevent lost sales, and look more legit to your customers.
Venmo & PayPal → Fees up to 3% when buyers use a credit card + tons of manual work reconciling screenshots.
CashApp & Zelle → “Free,” but zero protection for you as a seller, constant reconciliation, and no professionalism.
Poshmark → Flat 20% cut of every sale — on $1,000 in sales, that’s $200 gone.
Thryft Ship → Just 2% of the subtotal, with payments + shipping tied together and your buyers covering Stripe fees by default.
That’s 10x more affordable than selling through platforms like Poshmark — and far more professional than piecing it together with Venmo or CashApp.
Payments make Thryft Ship more than just a shipping tool — it’s now your all-in-one sales system. You get:
Professional checkout experience for your buyers
Faster access to money (no more waiting 2–3 days for payouts)
Seamless connection between sales, payments, and shipping
It’s not just more convenient — it’s the smarter, more economical way to run your business.
Buyers cover payment processing by default, so your effective cost is just 2% of the subtotal — with a more legit, all-in-one checkout.
Platform | Your Effective Fee | Who Pays Processing? | All-in-One (Orders + Payments + Labels) | Shipping & Rates | Buyer Experience |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Thryft Ship | 2% of subtotal (buyers cover Stripe by default) | Buyer by default ("Fee on Me" optional) | Yes — checkout, payments, orders & shipping together | Flexible — set your method/rate; buy labels in-app | Professional checkout; fewer drop-offs, no screenshots |
Venmo / PayPal | ~0–3% * varies by setup & card use | Varies (often you or the buyer) | No — manual reconciling & screenshots | Manual — you arrange shipping off-platform | Informal; trust depends on DM flow |
Cash App / Zelle | ~0% * no seller tools | N/A | No — no order tie-in, manual tracking | Manual — you arrange shipping off-platform | Informal; low protection; more back-and-forth |
Depop | 3.3% + $0.45 per item (seller) Buyers also pay a marketplace fee up to 5% + $1/order |
Seller | Marketplace checkout only (inside Depop) | Limited — Depop-set options/rates or ship-yourself | Higher trust, but buyers see extra fees at checkout |
Poshmark | ~20% on most sales | Included in take rate | Marketplace-style | Flat rate only — no flexibility on shipping costs | High trust, but rigid shipping pricing and high seller fees |
