Become a SneakerAsk Consigner

Apply to SneakerAsk's private consignment program and get your account ready to connect to RestocksAIO.

Connect SneakerAsk covers linking an account you already have. This page covers the step before that: how to get accepted as a SneakerAsk consigner.

SneakerAsk is a private, application-based consignment platform, not an open marketplace that anyone can join. It is based in Amsterdam and was established in 2016. It has grown into one of the fastest-growing sneaker shops in the EU, with over 200,000 customers. It is not limited to sneakers: clothing, watches, Pokémon cards and designer bags sell there too.

SneakerAsk is still a private, application-based marketplace. Apply on the seller signup page. The team reviews applications. It is not an open marketplace.

Why consigners join

  • Returns come back to SneakerAsk, not to you — unlike most other platforms.
  • Private marketplace — sellers are admitted, not self-registered.
  • Higher payouts, with an account manager at every level.
  • Two price options — you don't have to be the cheapest to sell (see below).

You don't have to be the cheapest

SneakerAsk adjusts its own prices automatically every night, based on its competitors. As a consigner, you normally need to be below that price to be the cheapest. There is also a second price option: if you can't beat the lowest price, you may price up to 30% higher than SneakerAsk's sourcing price. Customers often pay more to get their sneakers on the fast 48-hour delivery, so your payout can be higher.

RestocksAIO's Bricker Mode prices against both options, the standard lane and the express lane, as separate markets.

How it works

  1. Apply — submit the seller signup form and tell them what you sell and what volume you sell.
  2. Application review — a team member looks at your request personally. It takes no more than 1 business day.
  3. Onboarding — after approval, you are connected through RestocksAIO, so your stock stays in sync automatically.
  4. List your stock — add everything in RestocksAIO. It handles the connection with SneakerAsk for you.
  5. A buyer purchases — the order goes straight into RestocksAIO.
  6. Ship — the promise is shipped within 48 hours. Anything later is not tolerated.
  7. Get paid — payouts within 14 days.

Account setup

After approval you are invited into the SneakerAsk system:

  1. Complete your account with your personal or business information.
  2. Provide your bank details, and state whether you are a VAT-0 seller or a margin seller. If you sell both, you need two accounts. (VAT-21 for NL sellers is announced as coming.)
  3. Find your API key in your account, under the menu. Keep it safe.
  4. Add that key to RestocksAIO and you're ready. The whole process takes about 3 minutes. See Connect SneakerAsk.
