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

The number of questions and answers for a defined product may vary for each category or product. Here is an example of this step:

Accept the Trade-in Offer

Once product attributes and condition are defined a Trade-in offer is shown to the consumer (this offer may vary depending on multiple variables). Here is an example of this step:


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.
