How Preloved City left WordPress behind and relaunched in 7 days

A second-hand goods marketplace migrated its entire operation — listings, sellers and payments — off a fragile WordPress stack and onto Kreezalid, without losing a day of trading.

“Our marketplace ran on WordPress and we kept hitting technical and maintenance issues, especially around payments. Managing the platform had become increasingly complex.”
J. Frappart, Preloved City · Founder

The challenge

Preloved City’s marketplace was built on WordPress with a patchwork of plugins for listings, payments and vendor management. Every update risked breaking checkout, and payment issues were a recurring source of lost sales and support tickets.

The solution

The team started a Kreezalid trial on the Products template, imported existing sellers and listings, rebuilt their branding in the visual theme editor, and connected payments natively — no plugins, no patchwork.

The result

Preloved City reopened on Kreezalid in 7 days with zero data loss, reliable native payments, and an admin panel that finally let the team manage sellers and payouts without touching code.
