Sign up free →List your items with AI
Take a photo of your item and upload it. Click "Enhance with AI" and our system generates a professional title, detailed description, suggested price, and SEO tags automatically.
You can edit everything before publishing. Most sellers go from photo to live listing in under 3 minutes. List as many items as you want — always free.
Set up your payment method
Add your PayPal.me username, Venmo handle, or Cash App tag in your dashboard settings. Buyers can also pay by credit or debit card via Square.
Direct payments (PayPal, Venmo, Cash App) go straight to you with zero fees the moment a buyer pays. Card payments via Square are deposited to your bank in 1-2 business days.
Get paid directly
When a buyer checks out, they pay you directly — not OpenVendi. For direct payments, the money hits your PayPal, Venmo, or Cash App instantly. For card payments, Square deposits to your bank.
Card payments include a 3.9% + $0.30 processing fee paid by the buyer. Direct payments have zero fees for everyone.
Ship your order
Once paid, pack your item and ship it. Buy discounted USPS, UPS, and FedEx labels directly from your OpenVendi dashboard via our Shippo integration.
Your buyer automatically gets a tracking number by email when you mark the order shipped. You can also enter a tracking number manually if you purchase a label elsewhere.
