2. Valuation

The valuation process begins when a customer clicks "Calculate Discount" to evaluate their item, continues as they review and accept the quoted offer, and concludes when they initiate order payment.


Calculate Trade-in Offer​

When a customer clicks the "Calculate Discount" button on any teaser, a modal appears allowing them to select their trade-in item and answer questions to receive an offer. For most products, this process consists of three main steps:

Select Category and Product​

The number of categories and products available for trade-in may vary between merchants. Here's an example of this initial step:

Define Product Condition​

Product condition, first question:

Track Trade-in Offer​

Throughout the purchasing journey, consumers with a previous valuation accepted can visualize their offer at four key steps (Home page, Product page, Cart page and Checkout page) and ensuring that the trade-in value remains traceable once a valuation is completed.
