Products
B2B2C
Thriftify functions as a platform that lists products from charity shops and pre‑owned sellers for consumers; the service operates as both a listing/marketplace facilitator and a SaaS tool. Classification as 'Marketplace' reflects the platform's role in facilitating product transactions (products → consumers) while acknowledging dual SaaS/marketplace functionality.
