## Dual (Buy + Trade-In)

**Dual mode is for stores that both sell and buy.** If you're a refurbisher, reseller, or run a mixed catalog — selling new accessories and refurbished devices while also buying used gear from customers — Dual lets you do both from one storefront.

Dual is a **premium** store mode. (Buyback is the free default; Dual and Net are premium.)

## When to use it

Choose Dual if you:

*   Sell products **and** buy devices back from customers.
*   Run a mixed catalog — some items are for sale, some you want to acquire.
*   Are a refurbisher or reseller who lists new stock alongside trade-in offers.

If you only buy devices, use **Buyback** (the default). If customers should trade an old device toward a new one and pay the difference, see [Net](../net/).

## How it works

Each product shows the right button for its role:

*   **Add to cart** — a normal sale. The customer buys it and pays you.
*   **Trade in / Sell to us** — a payout. The customer sells it to you and you pay them, exactly like Buyback mode. (The label is customizable — see below.)
*   **Both buttons** — the customer can either buy the item or sell you their own.

Which button a product shows is controlled by the [Trade-In Catalog](../trade-in-catalog/) — by product category, with an optional per-product override.

### One flow per cart

**A single cart is either a purchase or a trade-in — never both.** The plugin keeps the two flows separate and blocks mixing them:

*   A **sell** product checks out as a normal WooCommerce purchase — the customer pays you.
*   A **trade-in** product checks out as a payout — you pay the customer.

To do both, the customer completes one cart, then starts a new one for the other.

## Set it up

1.  Go to **Gyta Buyback → Settings → Checkout** tab.
2.  Set **Store Mode** to **Dual**.
3.  Designate which products are trade-ins using the [Trade-In Catalog](../trade-in-catalog/) — assign by category, or override on individual products.
4.  (Optional) Set the trade-in button text at **Gyta Buyback → Settings → Checkout → Trade-in button label**.
