Vendor Information - How OpShop.Kiwi Works
This page is the starting point for businesses considering selling on OpShop.Kiwi - New Zealand's dedicated marketplace and growing sales platform for quality second-hand, vintage, antique, collectable, and charity-store goods.
Built for Vintage, Antiques and second-hand retail, not casual selling
OpShop.Kiwi is New Zealand's dedicated marketplace for Vintage, Antiques and second-hand retail. We work with charity stores, op shops, vintage sellers, antique dealers, collectors, and independent retailers who want more than a simple classified listing.
While many online marketplaces focus on casual one-off sellers, OpShop.Kiwi has been designed specifically for businesses selling quality pre-loved, vintage, antique, collectable, and higher-value hidden-gem goods.
Vendors gain access to a dedicated marketplace, individual storefronts, national exposure, secure checkout, structured product categories, and support options designed around how real second-hand stores operate.
OpShop.Kiwi is a B2C-only platform for professional sellers, registered businesses, charity stores, and approved second-hand vendors.

More than an online marketplace
OpShop.Kiwi is more than an online marketplace. It is a growing sales and operations platform built for second-hand, vintage, antique, collectable, and charity retailers in New Zealand.
If you can list on Facebook Marketplace or Trade Me, you can list on OpShop.Kiwi. The difference is what happens around the sale: structured listings, secure checkout, vendor support, stock control, shipping options, and reporting designed specifically for second-hand retailers.
From secure payments and consistent listings, to in-store POS, accounting integration, shipping automation, and future donation tools, OpShop.Kiwi is designed to support how real stores actually operate.
Fees and pricing are kept on the current Vendor Fees & Services Schedule so vendors can always refer to the most up-to-date commission, support, listing, training, and service options.
Cleaner product data
OpShop.Kiwi uses structured categories, brands, filters, attributes, condition notes, and measurements to improve buyer confidence.
Better listings help reduce confusion, improve search visibility, and support a more professional second-hand shopping experience.
The platform is designed to make listing unique one-off items as fast and efficient as possible, recognising that many second-hand retailers rarely have multiple quantities of the same product.
POS and stock control are part of the roadmap
OpShop.Kiwi is being developed with future in-store selling, stock control, reporting, and inventory tools in mind.
- Unique one-off items
- Printable product labels and tags
- Stocktakes, stock values, and reporting
- Reduced risk of double-selling
Secure payment processing
Customer payments are processed through approved payment methods, helping create a more trusted buying experience.
Vendors do not need to personally handle customer card details, and payments are managed through the platform.
Current shipping options
Vendors use approved shipping options through the platform, with shipping charged separately to the customer.
Roadmap: Freight for large items, international shipping to Australia, UK and USA rolled out first, followed by expansion to additional international markets.
Manage your store from anywhere
Check sales, orders, customer activity, and store performance whether you are at home, in the shop, or on the road.
OpShop.Kiwi is designed around the reality of second-hand retail, where many stores operate with volunteers, part-time staff, or owners juggling multiple responsibilities.
Choose the help you need
Vendors can self-manage their store or request optional support services such as setup, onboarding, product listing, image preparation, marketing support, training, or managed assistance.
These services may be quoted separately, allowing vendors to pay only for the extra support they actually need.
Bottom Line
OpShop.Kiwi is designed to reduce admin, improve buyer trust, create more consistent listings, simplify management of unique one-off stock, and help second-hand retailers operate professionally online while preparing for future in-store, shipping, reporting, and operational tools.
