The buy counter: when someone walks in with pairs to sell you, this page records what you are paying, then puts those pairs straight into your inventory. Where to find it: Open In-Store Purchase in AIM — you will be asked to sign in first.

​
What you can do here

  • Record who you are buying from and which store the pairs are going into
  • Add pairs by scanning their barcodes, searching the catalog, or typing them in
  • See what each pair is worth on StockX and GOAT, and what you already have in stock, before you agree on a price
  • Switch on Pre-Owned Mode so each used pair is tracked as its own item with its own condition
  • Finish the buy in one step — the pairs are received into stock and your store’s quantities are updated

How to: Buy a pile of pairs from a walk-in seller

  1. Pick the Vendor (the person selling to you) and the Location the pairs are going into.
  2. Click into the Scan field and scan every box — each one lands in the list on the far left.
  3. Check that each scan found the right shoe and size, then click Apply All to turn them into lines.
  4. Type what you are paying per pair on each line, and check the Total at the bottom left.
  5. Click Create Purchase, wait for “Purchase Complete”, then hand over the payment.
A reseller brings in 6 boxes: 2 × Dunk Low Panda size 10 and 4 × Jordan 4 Bred in mixed sizes. Scan all six, Apply All, enter 85apairontheDunksand85 a pair on the Dunks and 180 on the Jordans — the total reads $890.

​
How to: Take in used pairs so each one keeps its own condition

  1. Turn on Pre-Owned Mode before you scan anything.
  2. Scan or add each pair — every scan becomes its own item rather than adding to a quantity.
  3. Set the condition grade and any notes on each row (scuffs, no box, replacement laces).
  4. Finish with Create Purchase.
  5. On the completion pop-up, click “Go to Drafts” to finish the photos and details for those pairs.
Someone sells you three worn Jordan 1s, all size 10. With Pre-Owned Mode on you get three separate items — one graded excellent, two graded good with “creasing on toebox” noted — instead of one line reading “3 × size 10”.

​
How to: Work out what to offer before you commit

  1. Add the pairs to the buy first, without worrying about the prices.
  2. Read the StockX and GOAT totals in the page header to see what the pile is worth at market.
  3. Set the Multiplier to the share of market you pay — 0.7 for 70% — and read the scaled totals.
  4. Owners and managers can click “View buying report” for a suggested price per line.
  5. Click any line to see how many you already hold and how many sold in the last 30 days.
  6. Type your final prices onto the lines and finish the buy.
The pile shows a GOAT bid total of 1,400.SettheMultiplierto0.65andyousee1,400. Set the Multiplier to 0.65 and you see 910 — you offer $900 cash, then spread that across the lines.

​
How to: Recover when receiving does not finish

  1. If the pop-up shows an error, click “View PO” to open the saved purchase order.
  2. Or click “Retry” to try receiving again from here.
  3. If some pairs still need their sizes set up, the pop-up walks you through finishing that first, then receives them.
  4. The buy itself is never lost — it is saved before receiving starts.
A brand-new colorway has no sizes set up yet, so receiving stops. Finish the quick setup in the pop-up and the six pairs land in Main Store without re-entering anything.

Good to know

  • This page is for buying pairs IN from a seller, not for ringing up a customer who is buying from you.
  • The price on a line is what you pay for the pair. Your selling price is set separately, during the pricing review or later on the product.
  • Your work is saved as you go. If you leave with lines on screen you will be asked whether to keep the draft — keeping it means you can pick up right where you left off.
  • Nothing enters your stock until “Purchase Complete” appears. Up to that point you can still change or remove any line.
  • Turn on Pre-Owned Mode BEFORE scanning used pairs — switching afterwards will not split lines that are already merged.
