What is Recommerce?

by Zachary Cortinovis · September 23, 2025

Recommerce — short for “reverse commerce” — is the resale of returned, used, or surplus goods. It is one of the fastest-growing segments of online retail, and it is reshaping how brands think about end-of-life inventory.

Why now

Three forces are converging:

  1. Returns have ballooned. E-commerce return rates are 2–3x what they are in physical retail. Reverse logistics costs are now line items on every retailer’s P&L.
  2. Consumers want sustainability. A used item bought through resale keeps it out of landfill — a tangible win.
  3. AI lets us value items at scale. What used to take a human grader ten minutes can be done in seconds with the right model.

Where Vendidit fits

We build the infrastructure underneath recommerce — the auction platform, the buyer marketplace, the data pipelines that price returned inventory. Brands use Vendidit to recover value on items that would otherwise be liquidated for pennies on the dollar.
