The Best Apps to Help You Run Your Depop Business

Running a successful Depop shop is more than just listing cool vintage finds. It’s about managing inventory, engaging with buyers, optimizing listings, and tracking your sales. As your business grows, juggling these tasks can become overwhelming. This is where technology steps in. The right collection of apps for Depop sellers can streamline your workflow, boost your visibility, and ultimately drive more sales.

From the native Depop seller app itself to specialized Depop tools for analytics and cross-listing, there is a wide array of options available. However, for resellers serious about scaling their business not just on Depop but across multiple marketplaces, an all-in-one solution is the key to unlocking true growth potential.

This guide will walk you through the best apps to help you run and scale your Depop business, from essential starting points to the comprehensive platforms that top resellers use to dominate the market. We will explore how these tools can save you time, reduce administrative work, and help you focus on what truly matters: sourcing great products and growing your brand.

Understanding the Native Depop Seller App

Every Depop journey begins with the official Depop seller app. It’s the foundational tool that allows you to get your shop up and running. It provides all the basic functionalities needed to make your first sales and manage day-to-day operations directly from your phone.

Core Features of the Depop App

The Depop app is designed to make selling straightforward. It allows you to manage the entire lifecycle of a sale within a single interface.

  • Fast Listing Creation: You can list your preloved items with just a few taps. The app allows you to add photos and list items across a wide range of categories, including Tops and Tees, Jeans, Trainers, Dresses, Jewellery, Kidswear, and more for both men and women.
  • Buyer Interaction: The app enables you to chat directly with potential buyers, answer questions, and manage offers to negotiate the best price for your items.
  • Sales Management: Once a sale is made, you can handle the shipping process and keep track of your payments, shipments, and any returns all in one convenient place.
  • Fee Structure: A significant advantage is that Depop charges no selling fees on the app. However, it's important to remember that standard payment processing fees still apply to all transactions.

Limitations of the Depop App

While the native app is a great starting point, it has limitations that can hinder a growing business. As your inventory and sales volume increase, these shortcomings become more apparent.

  • Limited Seller Control: Sellers cannot publicly respond to buyer reviews. This prevents you from addressing feedback for other potential customers to see, which can impact your shop's transparency and reputation.
  • Account Restrictions: The app has a limited word count for your seller bio, restricting your ability to fully express your brand's story. More critically, seller accounts can be permanently deleted for engaging in "out of app transactions," though you can appeal these decisions.
  • No Advanced Tools: The app lacks the advanced features needed for scaling, such as bulk editing, in-depth analytics, automated tasks, and cross-platform management. It’s built for casual selling, not for running a full-fledged resale business.

Specialized Depop Tools to Enhance Your Shop

When you're ready to move beyond the basics, a variety of specialized Depop tools can help you improve specific parts of your selling process. These apps focus on doing one or two things exceptionally well, from making your photos look professional to automating tedious tasks.

Photo and Brand Enhancement Tools

Your product photos are the single most important element of your listings. High-quality images can dramatically increase your sales. Tools like BeFunky are designed to help your photos stand out.

  • Photo Editor: You can professionally edit your photos to adjust lighting, color, and sharpness, giving them a polished look that attracts buyers.
  • Background Remover: BeFunky’s Background Remover tool allows you to create a clean, plain, single-colored background for your product photos, which is a popular and effective style on Depop.
  • Graphic Designer: To build a cohesive brand identity, you can use the Graphic Designer to add flair and unique branding elements to your shop's visuals.

Sales and Analytics Tools

Understanding your sales data is crucial for making informed business decisions. Mepop Reports is a tool that provides the insights the native Depop app lacks.

Mepop Reports is stated to be "The best tool around for tracking Depop sales, profits, trends, and more!" By analyzing your performance, you can identify what's selling well, optimize your pricing strategy, and understand your profit margins more clearly.

Cross-Listing and Inventory Management Apps

As you grow, you'll likely want to sell on more platforms than just Depop. This is where cross-listing apps become essential. They save you countless hours by allowing you to list your inventory on multiple marketplaces simultaneously. Tools like Vendoo and Crosslist are popular choices among resellers.

Vendoo

Vendoo is a well-known cross-platform listing tool that supports Depop as one of its popular marketplaces. It plans to offer automated sharing, refreshing, and "bumping" for Depop, which can help keep your listings visible without constant manual effort.

Crosslist®

Crosslist® is another powerful AI-powered multichannel listing software designed for Depop and other marketplaces. Trusted by over 20,000 sellers, it offers a suite of features to streamline inventory management.

  • AI-Powered Efficiency: Crosslist® can generate listing details from a single image and offers custom templates to save time when creating listings. It also features a powerful image editor and an AI background remover.
  • Bulk Actions: You can bulk import inventory from other platforms to Depop in seconds. It also enables bulk relisting to boost your items in Depop's search results.
  • Seamless Management: The software allows you to manage and track all your listings from a single dashboard. When an item sells on Depop, you can delist it from all other marketplaces with one click. You can also prepare listings on the go from your mobile device.
  • Broad Integration: Crosslist® can export listings from Depop to eBay, Poshmark, Vinted, Facebook, Mercari, Grailed, Kidizen, and Etsy, and import from those same platforms into Depop.
