For sellers
How to sell pre-loved clothes at a CIRCA pop-up, from your phone. Read it through, or jump to the section you need.
Get the CIRCA seller app from the App Store and sign up.
Build your seller profile and connect Stripe so payments land where they should.
Buy the one-time access pass. $5, once, lifetime access.
A host approves you, you add your items, and buyers scan your QR to pay.
Step one
CIRCA is a pop-up resale platform for pre-loved clothes. You sell your pieces in person at an event, and buyers pay you on the spot by scanning a QR code. There's no shipping and no storefront to manage.
Setup happens once: download the app, set up your profile and connect Stripe for payouts, then buy your Seller Pass. After that, each event is: join a host's pop-up, add your items, show your QR.
Not in the pilot yet? Sign up on the pilot page and select "seller." We'll add you to the next pop-up in your area.
Step two
You do everything as a seller in the CIRCA seller app. Download it from the App Store and sign up.
The app is where you build your profile, connect Stripe, buy your Seller Pass, add your items, and show your QR code on pop-up day.
Step three
First, build your seller profile — this is how buyers and hosts recognize you:
Then connect Stripe. Stripe is how you get paid — when a buyer pays for one of your pieces, the money goes to your Stripe account, not to CIRCA and not to the host. Stripe will ask for a few details to verify your identity and where to send your money. You do this once.
Set up Stripe a day or two before your first pop-up, not the morning of. Verification can take a little time, and you want to show as ready before doors open.
Step four
With your profile and Stripe in place, buy your Seller Pass. It's $5, paid once, and it's yours for life — not per event, not a subscription.
Once it's active, you can join a pop-up. You don't buy it again.
Step five
Pilot sellers: you don't need to sign yourself up for the first event. We're adding all current pilot sellers to Hideaway Hilo manually, so you'll find yourself on the roster — nothing to do here but get your items ready.
Every CIRCA sale happens at a pop-up run by a host. The host creates the event and approves the sellers.
Here's how it works:
Your Seller Pass is lifetime, so you can join as many pop-ups as you like without paying for it again. The only per-event cost is a host's optional event fee.
Step six
You add your pieces in the app, right from your phone. Each item is quick to set up:
You can add items ahead of time or on the spot. As pieces sell, they're marked sold so you don't double-sell the same item.
Adding an item and setting its price are the same step, so you can price your pieces as you tag them.
Step seven
Every seller has a personal QR code. When a buyer wants a piece:
Buyers don't need a separate payment app. You don't handle cash or card readers.
Step eight
On every completed sale:
Your share goes to the Stripe account you connected. Because payments run through Stripe, you can see and track your sales there, just like any other Stripe-powered business.
The only other cost is a host's optional event fee, which you'd have agreed to before the event. There are no per-listing fees — if a piece doesn't sell, it costs you nothing.
Before you go
Run through this the night before:
If everything's checked, you're ready to sell.
Questions
The Seller Pass is $5, paid once, for lifetime access. After that, CIRCA takes a 10% platform fee on each completed sale and you keep 90%. Some hosts also set an optional event fee, which you'll always see before you join.
Your 90% goes to the Stripe account you connect during setup. Payments run through Stripe, so you can see your sales and track payouts there.
No. Buyers open their phone camera, scan your QR code, and pay in the browser with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or a card. There's nothing for them to install.
It costs you nothing. There are no per-listing fees. You only pay the 10% platform fee on items that actually sell.
Yes. Your Seller Pass is lifetime, so you can join as many host-approved pop-ups as you like without buying it again. Your Stripe setup carries over too.
Pre-loved clothes. Add a photo, price, category, size, and condition for each piece.
It's an optional fee a host can set for sellers at their event. Some hosts charge one, some don't. If there is one, you'll see the amount before you join — it's separate from the 10% platform fee.
Your phone (charged), your pieces, and your QR code ready to show. Make sure your Seller Pass is active, Stripe shows ready, and your items are added before doors open.
Great style comes full circle.
