OUR STORY

OPPIES was created by Rita and François, a husband-and-wife team who love thrifting. They wanted to make it easier for themselves and other thirft lovers to easily find, share and experience more of the Op Shopping culture.

We’re a proud husband-and-wife duo passionate about sustainable shopping, supporting charities, and making thrifting easier and more fun for everyone across New Zealand and Australia.


Rita is the thrift-a-holic who came up with the idea. For her, OpShopping satisfies the hunter-gatherer urge - while also supporting great causes, finding quality pieces for a fraction of the price, and giving her the chance to say “Thanks, it’s thrifted” when someone likes her outfit.


Francois brought the idea to life. With decades of IT experience in Healthcare and Local Government systems, and as the founder of his own IT company, Ecliptek, he built the app and the features that thousands of OpShoppers now enjoy using every day.


Op Shops have always been more than just stores. They’re fundraisers for causes, lifelines for communities, and champions of sustainability. But they haven’t always had the tools to reach new shoppers or easily share what’s happening in their stores - until now.


OPPIES gives shoppers a way to explore, support, and stay connected. It also gives shops an easy, free mobile platform to promote sales, update their info, and hear directly from the people who love them most. And with more younger generations embracing slow fashion and secondhand style, OPPIES helps carry the Op Shop tradition forward, making it more accessible, fun, and relevant than ever.

Why It Matters

Every secondhand purchase keeps clothing in circulation and out of landfills. It reduces waste, lowers demand for fast fashion, and supports organisations doing good in the world.

OPPIES isn't just an app, it's a community of people who believe that shopping secondhand should be simple, celebrated, and impactful.

We built OPPIES because we believe in the heart of the Op Shop movement - reuse, community, and great finds at amazing prices. Thank you for being part of it!

Thrift It. Rate It. OPPIES It.

GOT QUESTIONS?

Everything you need to know about using OPPIES

OPPIES is New Zealand and Australia’s dedicated app for discovering and supporting local Op Shops and secondhand stores. It connects OpShoppers with charity-run Op Shops and independent secondhand stores - making it easier to find nearby treasures, leave reviews, save favourites, and get notified about sales and events. New in OPPIES 2.0: live open/closed status, the Oppies Community Feed for sharing photos, and clearer donation/volunteer info for Op Shops. It’s free for OpShoppers and charity Op Shops. Independent secondhand stores can join with a free 7-day trial, then $9/month or $95/year.
When you open the app, the Home screen automatically shows OpShops and Secondhand Stores within a 40km radius of your location. Tap the globe icon for Map view (shows ~15km). Zoom in if you see the “Zoom in to see OpShops” message. Use the Search tab for shops further away by suburb, city, or name.
Anyone who loves Op shopping! OpShoppers, charity Op Shops (free), and independent secondhand stores (with subscription option after trial).
Yes! Tap a shop profile, scroll to Reviews, and add your star rating + honest comment. We encourage kind, constructive feedback. Only the OPPIES team can edit or delete reviews.
Please let us know! Use the Contact Us section in the app with the details so we can add it.
If you’ve favourited a shop or you’re nearby, you’ll get a push notification when they post a sale. View all notifications via the bell icon at the top of the Home screen.
On any shop profile, tap “Add to Favourites” (heart or star icon). You can also add a private note about why it’s a favourite (e.g. “regular fill-a-bag sales”, “great parking”, “fast stock turnover”, etc.). Your favourites are easy to access: tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the Home screen, then select Favourite Shops.
Try updating the app, checking your connection, and tapping again. It should open the relevant shop profile and sale details.
Use the search bar on the Home screen for nearby results, or tap “Search All Op Shops” at the bottom for a full search by location, city, charity, or shop name.
Most are already listed. Charity/not-for-profit Op Shops can join free by downloading the app, registering with a work email, and claiming their listing. Independent secondhand stores can sign up with a free 7-day trial then $9/month or $95/year.
Double-check your email/password, restart your device, ensure the app is updated. If you require a password reset, this can be found on the Login page of the app. If you still can't login after a password reset, contact us via our Contact Page at www.OPPIES.nz for help.
Free for OpShoppers and charity Op Shops using the Mobile App. Independent secondhand stores: free 7-day trial then $9/month or $95/year. Optional Online Portal available for $9/month (for Op Shops).
We’re committed to keeping OPPIES completely free for OpShoppers and charity/not-for-profit Op Shops so they can focus on the great community and charity work they do. As the app grows (especially with the new Community Feed and more photos), running it has real costs. My husband and I have been personally funding everything so far. To keep the platform sustainable long-term without charging the charity side, we welcome independent secondhand stores on a simple paid plan ($9/month or $95/year after a free 7-day trial). This helps cover costs while giving independent stores powerful tools to reach more customers. We clearly label store types so shoppers always know what they’re visiting.
A desktop website for easier management of your OPPIES profile (great for teams or computer users). Contact the OPPIES team for details.
Contact the OPPIES team via our websit www.OPPIES.nz — we will set it up for you ($9 per month).
The Op Shop Online Portal is our desktop website designed to make managing your OPPIES listing easier and more powerful. It is currently available for charity Op Shops. Key features include: Manage your shop profile from any computer (no mobile device needed) Manage multiple shops ($4.50NZD per additional shop per month) under one account Easier photo uploads and gallery management Create and schedule sale events View insights and reviews from customers Update hours, donation status, and volunteer needs Post updates to the Community Feed Access for multiple team members Better overview and reporting tools It’s an optional add-on available for $10 per month.
