The short version
Weloop is a recommerce-first platform for established sustainable brands — rental sits alongside resale, repair, and take-back programs. It's a full circular-fashion suite, priced and scoped for brands with a sustainability team.
Rent Indie is a single-purpose Shopify plugin for indie fashion brands that want rental revenue without rebuilding their stack. Install, tag pieces, set a price, go live the same day.
Side-by-side
| Rent Indie | Weloop | |
|---|---|---|
| Built for | Indie fashion brands on Shopify | Established sustainable brands |
| Setup | Self-serve, minutes | Sales call + onboarding |
| Pricing | $25/mo + 5% per rental | Custom / enterprise |
| Scope | Rental only — focused | Rental, resale, repair, take-back |
| Who owns the customer | You — it's your Shopify checkout | You — but routed through their stack |
| Dev required | None | Light integration work typical |
When Weloop is the right call
- You're a mid-to-large brand running a full circular program, not just rental.
- You have headcount to manage onboarding and integration.
- You need resale and repair flows alongside rental in one platform.
When Rent Indie is the right call
- You're an indie label and rental is the experiment, not a re-platform.
- You want predictable pricing — flat $25/mo plus a 5% rental fee, no quote process.
- You want to be live this week, not next quarter.
- You want every rental to flow through your own Shopify checkout so the customer is yours.
Bottom line
If you need a circular-fashion suite, look at Weloop. If you're an indie brand who just wants to start renting your pieces through Shopify without a sales call or a dev sprint, that's what Rent Indie is for.
