Tango

Live-stream platform enabling creator monetization

Overview

Tango is a social live-streaming platform that helps creators broadcast talents to a global audience and earn money from their content. It works by offering a mobile app where users can watch live streams, chat with creators and other fans, and send virtual gifts. Those gifts can be converted into real money by the streamers, with revenue coming from a freemium model that charges for in-app purchases and subscriptions for boosted features. Unlike some competitors, Tango emphasizes a large mobile audience, a straightforward path for creators to monetize through gifts and subscriptions, and an integrated social experience built around live video and chat. The company’s goal is to enable creators to turn live entertainment and social interaction into income by growing a global community with accessible monetization tools.

New integration: Tango.

New integration: Tango. Make your life easier. Give your consignors more freedom. Consignment is having its moment. New consumers are seeing the value resale provides, and the shopping experience they so desperately miss. According to ThredUp's 2026 Resale Report, the U.S. secondhand market grew 13% in 2025, nearly four times faster than traditional retail. More stores, more consignors, more inventory moving through communities across the country. Every store owner knows that no matter what changes or evolves, the relationship between a store and its consignors is the foundation everything else is built on. How stores invest in that relationship is what sets them apart. Though the tradition of cherishing consignors remains the same, the traditional payout methods do need to evolve. Consignors want modern solutions to meet modern demands. Tango is a modern payout solution. Ricochet has integrated with Tango, a digital payout platform that gives consignors the ability to choose how they receive their money. Instead of waiting on a check or navigating a single payout method, consignors receive a link by email or SMS and select the option that works best for them. Those options include ACH deposit, Push to Debit Card, PayPal, Venmo, prepaid cards, and digital gift cards from more than 250 popular brands. For the store, the benefit is straightforward. Payouts that used to require manual coordination now go out digitally, and your consignors handle the rest. Less back and forth, fewer questions about timing or method, and a process that scales as your consignor base grows. More than the operational lift, it sends a message. Stores that invest in the consignor experience build the kind of loyalty that keeps quality inventory coming back. Tango is one more way to show your consignors that working with your store is worth it. The relationship between a store and its consignors has always been the engine behind great inventory. What changes over time are the tools available to honor it. Payout flexibility is a small change with a real impact on how consignors experience your store.
