Beni changes the way we shop — saving money and good for the environment. What could be better!!

if we could get everyone buying secondhand, we'd make a huge impact! Glad you're joining us on that journey 🚀
Maker
Thanks for your support! (:
Such an awesome extension that truly kills two birds — making it easier for us custy’s to shop and also saving our planet. As somebody who works in retail, I’ve seen firsthand the waste that goes with new product production and fast fashion, so this endeavor is more important than ever. Excited to see where this goes, go Beni!
Maker
we're excited too! Thanks for following along and for helping us be part of the solution!
Maker
Thanks for the support! 🙌
I’m so impressed by how much you’ve shipped since the beta – can’t wait till you expand more into gear and hard goods!
Maker
Hope we get to expand into new verticals like gear soon! ⛷️ Thanks for the support!
This is one of those "no duh" extensions everyone should have.
Maker
haha love it! Thank you! So stoked to be building the future of resale alongside you 💪🏼
Maker
Thanks for your support! Will we get to see Treet on PH soon?!
definitely! keep ya posted :)
Woohoo! I love Beni! It's always suggesting amazing re-commerce alternatives during my many hours of online window shopping
Maker
we love to hear it!
Daym, looks like an awesome product. Are the re-sale partners vetted by the Beni team? I just want to make sure my new purchase will be legit. Thanks!!
Maker
thank you! Great question! On a high-level, yes we do vet the resale partners. We have direct relationships with all of our resale marketplace partners (i.e. we aren't just scraping from the internet) and we verify that they are reputable marketplaces. With these direct relationships, we also have the ability to surface only items of a certain quality level and/or from sellers with certain ratings. This said, Beni ourselves do not evaluate the individual resale items and/or sellers on the marketplaces (in the case of peer-to-peer sites). We trust the resale marketplaces to manage this. Each marketplace may have different approaches to how they vet, authenticate, and guarantee the products and sellers on their site. We put together a guide of the top resale marketplaces here: Q for you: Would if be helpful for us to have marketplace level details in the extension itself. For example, if we direct you to a product on Grailed, would it be helpful for Beni to show information on Grailed's policies in the extension?
This is so cool! Congratulations on the launch! How many stores does beni currently support?
Maker
thank you!! We currently support ~1k sites! You can see all supported sites here: We're big fans of Loot as well - love seeing the extension space grow!
Maker
Thanks for your support! Congrats on your launch earlier this week as well! 🙂
Any plans to go from extension to search functionality on the beni site? Sometimes, when I shop I'll only have a clothing item or material in mind. Would be cool to just search "silk shirts" in my saved size across beni partners and see what comes up :)
Maker
great idea! We're definitely considering it and are hoping to build it out soon - we'd love to offer more ways for shoppers to access the amazing options from our resale partners!
Thank you!
Hi team - awesome product! Are you guys able to track sustainability metrics around the use of Beni? Would be really cool to see some programs where large corporations partner with Beni and tie their CSR goals to the Benji platform
Maker
That's a cool idea! We are actually working on a feature update that will demonstrate the sustainability value of shopping secondhand with Beni and have plans to expand this functionality in the future. Haven't thought about partnering with large corporations for their CSR goals but would love to chat with you more about it!
Love Beni! Saw your campaign about corporate swag - any chance there’s a feature coming to help find bulk buying of tips to then add logos to?
Maker
I love that idea! We haven't yet thought about ways to support other corporations with their corporate gift giving but would love to chat with you more about it! For the Beni team, we buy blank clothing items via Beni like shirts, crewnecks, etc. and have been screen printing them all together during our off-sites with a local screen printer - that's been super fun and would highly recommend as a great bonding experience for smaller companies.
Maker
you can also check out our friends and partners at Goodfair -- they sell in bulk and it's actually where we sourced a lot of the items we ended up screenprinting!
