Sneakers & streetwear
Shopify auction app for sneakers and streetwear resellers
Sneaker and streetwear resellers use Auction Now to auction limited pairs and pieces on their own Shopify store, avoiding marketplace commissions and using soft close so hyped drops close at true market price.
Why auctions work for sneakers & streetwear
Hype pricing changes daily
Resale value on a limited pair moves with every restock rumour. Auctions capture today's price.
Marketplace fees add up
Resale platforms charge 9–13% plus processing. A 5% success fee on your own store keeps more of the flip.
Your followers are your bidders
Point your Instagram or TikTok audience at an auction page with a countdown and let the comments do the marketing.
The features that matter here
Soft close
A drop with 40 watchers doesn't get sniped at :59.
Sign-in required
Bidders use a customer account, which keeps bots and burner bids out.
Next-bidder fallback
If a winner ghosts, the pair goes to the next bidder without you chasing anyone.
Mobile-first widget
Slide to bid works with a thumb; most sneaker traffic is on a phone.
Tips from sellers in this category
- Run 24–48 hour auctions timed to your social post; hype fades fast.
- Photograph the box label, size tag, and any flaws. Authenticity questions kill bidding.
- Set a short payment window (12 hours) on hyped pairs so you can relist quickly if someone doesn't pay.
Frequently asked questions
Can I auction multiple sizes of the same shoe?
Yes. Pick the variant when you create the auction; each size runs as its own auction.
