How Zippy Market works
Buy, sell, and rent locally — with instant locker pickup. No shipping, no meetups, no waiting. Sellers drop items into a smart locker; buyers grab them the moment they pay. Prefer it brought to you? A Zippy Pro can deliver it to your door.

For buyers — grab it in 3 steps
- 1
Browse & buy
Find something you want, then Buy Now or Make an Offer. No account required — pay securely with card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

The instant your payment clears, you get a one-tap unlock link. We only reveal the exact pickup spot after you buy.
- 3
Unlock & grab
Head to the locker and open your unlock link, then tap Unlock — the right door pops open. Take your item — instant pickup, on your schedule.
For sellers — list it, drop it, get paid
- 1
Snap a photo
Our AI fills in the title, description, suggested price, category, and condition for you. Edit anything you like.
- 2
Drop it in the locker
We assign you a compartment and open it from your phone. Place your item, mark it ready, and it goes live for buyers.
- 3
Get paid
When it sells, your money heads to your bank automatically. No chasing buyers, no cash, no no-shows.
Renting — borrow it, not buy it
Need a tool for the weekend, not forever? Items with a /day price can be rented right from the locker.
- 1
Pick your dates
Some items are listed to rent by the day or week. Choose how long you need it and pay upfront — no deposit, ever.
- 2
Verify once
Before your first rental, a quick one-time ID verification protects owners. It takes about a minute and you never do it again.
- 3
Pick up & return to the same locker
Unlock and grab it like a purchase. When you're done, the same unlock link opens the same locker — put it back by the due date and you're set.
Renting out your own stuff
List anything for rent with a daily rate and a replacement cost. No deposits to chase — every renter is ID-verified, and if an item comes back late, the extra days are charged automatically, up to the full replacement cost. It comes back to the same locker, you confirm it's in good shape, and you collect it whenever suits you.
Too big for the trunk? Add delivery
A Zippy Pro brings it to your door
Add local delivery at checkout — or up to a day after you buy — and a background-checked Zippy Pro collects your item from the locker and delivers it to your address. The fee is quoted upfront based on distance, you can watch the delivery live on a map, and you get photo proof at your door.
Rentals: delivery and pickup, both ways
Renting something bulky? Have it delivered to you, and when you're done, schedule a return pickup — a Pro collects it from your address and returns it to the locker for you. Your rental clock stops the moment you request the pickup.
How the smart locker works
Every item lives in its own locked compartment. When a buyer pays, they get a unique unlock link tied to that compartment. Opening the link and tapping Unlock opens just that door — nothing else. It's secure, contactless, and available whenever the buyer can swing by.
How sellers get paid
Payments run through Stripe, the same secure platform used by millions of businesses. Connect your bank once, and payouts land automatically after each sale. Zippy keeps a small 10% commission when your item sells — no listing fees, no monthly fees, nothing upfront.

Frequently asked

- When can I pick up my item?
- Right after you pay — your unlock works any time the locker is accessible.
- What happens if I return a rental late?
- Your card on file is simply charged the daily rate for each extra day, up to the item's replacement cost — after that, the item is yours to keep. Return on time and you never pay a penny more.
- Can I get my purchase delivered?
- Yes — add local delivery by a Zippy Pro at checkout, or within a day after buying. The fee is quoted upfront based on distance, and you can watch your delivery live on a map.
