Sharpei Launches the New Shopify App for HaaS & Lease-to-Own Models

Sharpei is thrilled to announce the official launch of the Sharpei Shopify App, the first hardware subscription platform that brings embedded leasing at checkout to Shopify merchants.

This all-in-one hardware leasing platform lets brands offer hardware-as-a-service (HaaS) and lease-to-own hardware models directly within their Shopify stores. With no code, no operational overhead, and full control of the brand experience.

For years, DTC hardware and equipment brands, from e-bikes to fitness devices, power tools, and home electronics, have been stuck in a linear model: sell once, ship, and hope for repeat buyers.

Today, that model evolves.

Why HaaS? Why Now?

Consumers are shifting from ownership to access.
They already subscribe to software, content, and even groceries. Durable products are next.

For hardware and equipment retailers, the hardware-as-a-service model unlocks:

• Predictable Recurring Revenue

• Higher Retention & Lower Churn

• Return Logistics & Refurb Loops

• Customer Lifecycle Insights

• Circular Commerce with Real Margin Growth

  
  

In short, HaaS transforms static sales into long-term customer relationships.

Why Haven’t More Brands Done This Before?

Until now, launching a lease-to-own e-commerce or equipment financing solution meant months of custom development and operational risk. Brands had to:

• Build complex integrations for lease-to-own software platforms

• Underwrite customers and manage fraud prevention

• Handle insurance, asset tracking, and return logistics

• Maintain separate systems across regions or channels

No merchant leasing solution existed that allowed Shopify brands to launch embedded finance for hardware at scale, until Sharpei.

Meet the Sharpei Shopify App

Sharpei is a hardware subscription software and lease-to-own API that adds a modular leasing and subscription layer to any Shopify storefront.

With the Sharpei eCommerce leasing integration, merchants can:

• Configure upfront + monthly pricing in minutes

• Offer both subscription and lease-to-own equipment models

• Define contract terms, renewals, upgrades, and early buyouts

• Automate returns, insurance logic, and damage claims

• Manage every device across its full lifecycle with built-in device subscription management tools

All within a streamlined UI, fully embedded in the Shopify backend.

No code. No disruption. No friction.

How It Works

1. Install Sharpei from the Shopify App Store.

2. Configure your selling plans in minutes (pricing, duration, terms)

3. Publish and launch your new hardware financing checkout.

Brands like Cleardrop went live with their checkout leasing for Shopify in under 24 hours, and already see 32% of new customers choosing the subscription option

That’s how you increase conversions with leasing.
