A little context before you buy

A good find is
just the beginning.

The jacket you love. The piece you might resell. Get price context before you decide, then keep the photos and details together. The native app scans tags, suggests categories and checks prices while you keep browsing. Download the app for iOS or Android, or try photo price checks in your browser.

01 / Price check

What’s it going for?

Start with a photo. Compare asking prices for similar items and see the listings behind the estimate.

02 / Scan the tag

Less typing. More browsing.

In the native app, photograph the tag, then the item. Lens reads the price and useful details. Review or edit them any time.

03 / Keep browsing

Your next find won’t wait.

Keep capturing while native app price checks run in the background. Come back to the results in your saved items.

Price check

Compare before
you buy.

A jacket in an op shop. A bag on a retail rail. A find at the weekend market. Photograph an item and explore what people are asking for similar finds.

Choose For me to compare the shop price with the asking-price range. Switch to To resell to work through a possible sale price, fees, postage and preparation costs. Both views are in the native app.

Asking prices, not confirmed sales. Condition and demand can change what an item sells for.

Look beyond
the price tag.

A single expensive listing can make a find look like a bargain. See how asking prices are spread across the sampled listings, with unusually high or low prices kept out of the chart when there’s enough data.

Unlimited measurements

The right details.
Right on the photo.

Give buyers more than a size label. On supported devices, Lens uses camera depth data to help measure an item and place dimensions on its photo. Show chest width, body length and the details that help someone compare it with a piece they already own.

Adjust the measurement points, edit the labels and choose centimetres or inches. You can also enter dimensions taken with a tape. There’s no monthly measurement quota, and measuring doesn’t use your price-check allowance.

More context for buyers. A useful reference for your own wardrobe.

Camera measurement support varies by device and surface. Use a tape for curves, depth and a final fit check.

A few things to know

Good questions.

Can I download Shopfront Lens?

Yes. Download Lens from the App Store or Google Play, then sign in with your Shopfront account. You can also try price checks in your browser. Read the getting-started guide for setup and your first find.

How many free price checks do I get?

200 free price checks per calendar month. Included on the Free plan with a registered account. Paid plans include higher native app allowances. Web and app allowances are separate and reset on the 1st of each month at midnight in Melbourne.

How can Lens help with thrifting and op shopping?

Use a photo price check to compare a shop’s price tag with asking prices for similar items. Review condition and details before buying. In the native app, save the price on the tag, remember the shop on your map and share the find with a friend. You can also keep clothing measurements or organise items you plan to resell. Selling is optional.

Do I need a Shopfront account?

You can try a price check in your browser before signing up. 200 free price checks per calendar month. Higher native app allowances are included on paid plans. The native app requires a Shopfront account. Create one on the web before signing in to the app. Our Lens guide explains how to get started.

Are these confirmed sale prices?

No. Lens shows asking-price estimates and comparable listings. The amount an item sells for can differ depending on its condition, demand and the marketplace.

How do measurements work?

On supported devices, Lens uses camera depth data to help measure distances between points on an item. You can also enter dimensions taken with a tape. Edit labels, customise and save a reusable style, then save or share the measurement image. Measurements have no monthly quota and don’t use price checks. Camera measurements are a guide; check fit-critical dimensions with a tape.

How is the app different from Lens on the web?

The native app adds tag scanning, background price checks, market insights, resale cost scenarios and category suggestions. It also keeps saved places, sharing, measurements and collections together on your phone. The browser tool currently focuses on photo-based price checks.

Can I control which location details are saved and shared?

Yes. Location requires your phone’s permission, and you can turn automatic capture location off in Settings. Add or edit a place later. Sharing has a separate preview: an item’s location and prices are excluded until you choose to include them. Sharing a saved place includes that place’s location. Sharing sends a snapshot, not access to your saved library.

Are my saved finds backed up?

Items, places and collections are saved on this device. They are not automatically backed up or synced to another phone, and signing out clears local saved data. Sharing an item sends a copy of the selected details; it does not create a backup of your library.
