Vinted Integrates Payments and Logistics

Vinted is turning each order into a stack of small revenue streams that competitors often leave to outside vendors. Instead of only matching a buyer and seller, it also controls checkout, escrow, payout, and parts of delivery, which lets it keep payment fees and shipping margin in house while making the transaction feel like one simple flow inside the app. That matters because Vinted charges sellers 0%, so better infrastructure economics are what fund the model.

• The practical effect of Vinted Pay is that money no longer has to pass through a third party before reaching the seller. After getting an EMI licence in 2023, Vinted launched Vinted Pay and by January 2026 had begun rolling out wallets so sale proceeds land inside Vinted first, then can be spent again on marketplace purchases or withdrawn to a bank account.

• Vinted Go does the same thing on the shipping side, but in an asset light way. Rather than building warehouses or a courier fleet, Vinted builds the pickup and locker layer on top of partner carriers and parcel shops. That gives it control over labels, drop off, tracking, and customer support, while still capturing margin on delivery.

• This is a sharper economic model than resale peers that still monetize mainly through marketplace fees alone. Depop moved from a 10% seller fee to buyer fees in the US and UK, but still leaves standard payment processing fees in place. Back Market also charges seller commissions and buyer fees. Vinted is more deeply integrated into the transaction plumbing itself.

The next step is for Vinted to use payments and logistics as expansion rails, not just support functions. As Vinted Pay wallets spread across markets and Vinted Go builds denser pickup networks, the company should be able to launch new categories and new countries with lower friction, higher repeat purchase, and more revenue captured from every transaction that already happens on the platform.
