StockX Direct Pricing
Understand StockX Buyer-Direct pricing and how it benefits high-volume sellers.
What is StockX Direct Pricing?
StockX Direct (also known as Buyer-Direct) is an exclusive seller program offered by StockX to trusted, high-volume sellers. When enabled, your items are shipped directly to the buyer instead of going through StockX's authentication center first.
This means:
Lower seller fees — StockX charges reduced fees for direct shipments because they save on warehousing and handling costs. This translates to better payouts for you on every sale.
Faster delivery — Buyers receive their items sooner since the package doesn't need to make a stop at a StockX verification center.
Separate market data — StockX provides a dedicated set of pricing indicators (Lowest Ask, Highest Bid, Earn More, Sell Faster) specifically for the direct marketplace, which can differ from the standard marketplace prices.
Who can use Direct Pricing?
StockX Direct is not available to all sellers. To qualify, you typically need:
High sales volume — StockX offers this program to sellers who consistently move large quantities of items.
Low cancellation rate — Your account must maintain a very low cancellation rate, demonstrating reliability.
Good seller metrics — Overall seller performance, including shipping speed and accuracy, is taken into account.
If your StockX account is not approved for Buyer-Direct shipping, do not enable this setting. Enabling it without approval will cause the tool to use incorrect market data for pricing decisions.
How does it work in RestocksAIO?
When Direct Pricing is enabled, the Bricker Mode monitor uses StockX's direct market data as the primary source for pricing indicators:
Lowest Ask
Standard market data
Direct market data (falls back to standard)
Highest Bid
Standard market data
Direct market data (falls back to standard)
Earn More
Standard market data
Direct market data (falls back to standard)
Sell Faster
Standard market data
Direct market data (falls back to standard)
The tool prioritizes direct market data first. If a direct value is unavailable (zero), it automatically falls back to standard, then top-level market data. This ensures you always have the most accurate pricing for your specific seller type.
Consignment (Flex) items are not affected by this setting. Custodial inventory always uses top-level market data regardless of the Direct Pricing toggle.
How to enable it
You can toggle StockX Direct Pricing in three places:
Settings > Accounts > Site Options — Applies to the account profile. Look for "Enable StockX Buyer-Direct seller mode".
Bricker Mode > Edit Task — Toggle per-task when editing a StockX bricker controller.
Bricker Mode > Mass Edit — Apply the setting across all selected controllers at once.
Why does this matter for pricing?
Direct sellers operate in a separate marketplace pool. The lowest ask and highest bid in the direct market can be significantly different from the standard market. Without this setting enabled, the tool would use standard market prices to make decisions — which may not reflect the actual competition and payouts in your direct marketplace.
Enabling Direct Pricing ensures:
Your prices are competitive against other direct sellers, not the general pool.
Payout calculations reflect the reduced fee structure of direct shipments.
Bricker Mode makes accurate undercut/match decisions based on the right market data.
