## Description
**Gyta BuyBack** turns your WooCommerce store into a professional trade-in and buyback
operation. Instead of selling products _to_ customers, you purchase products _from_
them — with automated payments, prepaid shipping labels, and a fully streamlined
workflow built right into the WordPress admin.
📖 **[Full Documentation](https://gytabuyback.com/docs)** | 🌐 **[Official Website](https://gytabuyback.com/)**
| 🛒 **[Upgrade to Premium](https://gytabuyback.com/)**
#### 🔄 How It Works
WooCommerce is built for traditional ecommerce — the customer pays you. **Gyta BuyBack
flips the script.** It adds reversed payment gateways so _you_ pay the customer,
automatically generates prepaid return shipping labels, and gives you every tool
you need to run a professional buyback or trade-in business.
1. **Customer submits a trade-in** — They add their item to your WooCommerce cart
and check out as normal.
2. **You generate a shipping label** — A prepaid EasyPost label is created automatically(
or in batch) and emailed to the customer.
3. **Customer ships the item** — Real-time tracking events keep both sides informed
via webhooks.
4. **You inspect and pay** — Once the item arrives, you pay the customer through one
of the reversed payment methods (Check, PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, and more).
#### 🏢 Who Is This For?
Gyta BuyBack is purpose-built for businesses that buy products from consumers:
* **Used Phone & Electronics Buyers** — Run a phone or electronics trade-in program
directly from your WordPress site.
* **Recommerce & Refurbishment Companies** — Streamline the intake of used goods
for refurbishment and resale.
* **Gold, Jewelry & Precious Metal Buyers** — Accept mail-in shipments with prepaid
labels and pay sellers on approval.
* **Textbook & Media Buyback** — Operate a textbook buyback program with automated
shipping and payouts.
* **Sneaker & Fashion Resellers** — Purchase authenticated items from sellers with
a professional storefront.
* **Trade-In Programs for Any Retailer** — Add a trade-in program alongside your
existing WooCommerce shop.
* **Recycling & E-Waste Programs** — Accept items for recycling with automated
logistics.

#### 💡 Example Workflows
**Example 1: Used Phone Buyback**
You list phone models as WooCommerce variable
products (e.g., iPhone 15, 128GB, Good Condition = $320). A customer selects their
phone, checks out, and receives a prepaid USPS label via email. They ship the phone.
You inspect it, optionally use the customer approval flow, and pay them via PayPal
or Zelle.
**Example 2: Textbook Trade-In Program**
A university bookstore lists textbooks
with buyback prices. Students check out with their books, get a prepaid FedEx label,
and ship the books in. The store generates labels in batch at the end of each day
and pays students by check.
**Example 3: Gold & Jewelry Mail-In**
A precious metals dealer lists buyback categories.
Sellers check out, receive a shipping label, and mail their items in an insured
package. The dealer inspects, sets the order to “Waiting for Customer Approval”
with a final offer, and pays upon approval.
📖 **[More examples and guides ](https://gytabuyback.com/docs)**
#### 🔌 EasyPost Integration
Gyta BuyBack uses the [EasyPost](https://www.easypost.com/) shipping API to power
its label generation. With EasyPost you get access to discounted rates from all
major carriers:
* **USPS** — First Class, Priority, Priority Express
* **UPS** — Ground, 2nd Day Air, Next Day Air
* **FedEx** — Ground, Express Saver, 2Day, Overnight
Labels are generated right from the WooCommerce order screen, attached to the order
as metadata, and automatically included in customer notification emails — no copy-
pasting required.
📖 **[EasyPost setup guide ](https://gytabuyback.com/docs)**
#### 🧑💻 WP-CLI Support
For developers and power users, Gyta BuyBack includes a full set of WP-CLI commands:
```
wp wcpti create-label — Generate a shipping label for an order
wp wcpti verify-address — Verify a customer's shipping address
wp wcpti order-info — Display buyback metadata for an order
wp wcpti batch-labels — Create labels for all eligible orders
```

## FAQ
### Does this plugin require WooCommerce?
Yes. Gyta BuyBack extends WooCommerce and requires it to be installed and activated.
It is compatible with WooCommerce 7.0 and later.
### How do the reversed payment methods work?
Instead of collecting money from the customer, Gyta BuyBack’s payment gateways record
that _you_ owe the _customer_. The order is placed and you fulfill payment to the
customer offline through the selected method (Check, PayPal, Zelle, Venmo, etc.).
### Do I need an EasyPost account?
An EasyPost account is recommended but not required. Without it, you can still use
the reversed payment methods and manage orders — you just won’t get automated shipping
label generation. EasyPost offers a free tier with pay-per-label pricing. [Sign up at easypost.com](https://www.easypost.com/).
### What shipping carriers are supported?
Through EasyPost, you can generate labels for USPS, UPS, FedEx, and many other carriers.
Gyta BuyBack automatically selects the cheapest rate or lets you choose.
### Is this compatible with WooCommerce HPOS (High-Performance Order Storage)?
Yes. Gyta BuyBack fully supports WooCommerce HPOS / Custom Order Tables and the
block-based cart and checkout.
### Can I use this on a WordPress multisite?
Yes. The plugin supports both network-wide and per-site activation on WordPress
multisite installations.
### Is there a free trial of the premium version?
Yes! You can start a 30-day free trial of the premium version directly from within
the plugin. [Learn more ](https://gytabuyback.com/)

## Changelog
#### 1.6.0
* New (Premium): Store Modes — run your store as Buyback (default), Dual (buy +
trade-in), or Net settlement (trade in toward a purchase). https://docs.gytabuyback.
com/features/store-modes/
* New (Premium): Net settlement with Apple- or Samsung-style prepaid return labels.
* New (Premium): Trade-in device details — condition, IMEI/serial, and notes.
* New (Premium): Store Credit payout with an optional bonus.
* New (Premium): Buyback Reports, post-inspection re-quotes, and a customer status
timeline.
* New: Buyback buttons now read as a sale — “Trade in / Sell to us” and “Get my
offer” (editable).
* New: Set your trade-in catalog by product category, with per-product overrides.
* Fix: Block checkout now saves payout destinations and device details; the Amazon
Gift Card method appears.
* Fix: Settings save per tab; the Variable Product Fields section renders again.
#### 1.5.4
* New (Premium): Crypto / Stablecoin payout method — customers enter their wallet
address and network at checkout, and you pay them in USDC or any other crypto
from your own wallet.
#### 1.5.3
* New: Full internationalization — every user-facing string is now translatable,
with the text domain loaded on `init` for WordPress 6.7+ compatibility.
* New: Bundled translations for 10 languages that load automatically by site language—
German (de_DE + Austrian de_AT), Spanish, French, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese,
Dutch, Russian, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, and Polish.
* New: Checkout, the customer approve/decline flow, shipping-label buttons, order
emails, payment methods, the admin dashboard, and the Batch Labels page are all
localized.
* Fix: The checkout relabel (“Billing details” “Contact Information”) now applies
on non-English sites; it previously only matched the English source text.
* Fix: Corrected admin and email strings that used the wrong text domain or passed
variables to translation functions and therefore never translated.
* Dev: Added the `gyta-buyback.pot` template and enabled `wp_set_script_translations()`
for the Blocks checkout. Wording can be customized with Loco Translate.
#### 1.5.2
* Fix: Customer Approve/Decline buttons now work. The approval form was submitting
an empty order reference, so customer clicks were silently ignored.
#### 1.5.1
* Added Download Shipping Label button on checkout.
* Compat: WP 7.0 readiness (Tested up to 7.0).
* Fix: Customer approval links (approve/decline buttons in trade-in offer emails)
no longer silently expire after 24 hours. The approval nonce now lives 30 days,
matching realistic customer-response windows. If a customer clicks a link past
its expiry, they see a clear error message and can retry directly from the page
instead of getting no feedback.
* Freemius updated.
