For this edition of The Flip, we compiled data-driven insights on top-selling products, added more brands to our catalog, and revealed granular information about our authentication operations to help make you a more informed and confident seller on StockX. 

 

Scout is Now Available to Level 4 and 5 Sellers in the US

Last month, we gave US-based Level 4 and 5 sellers access to Scout, the industry-leading inventory management platform for sellers. If you’re a Level 4 or 5 seller in the US and haven’t tried out Scout yet, check our email from July 19 for details on how to access. In case you missed it, StockX acquired Scout last year to streamline the selling experience  and help customers accelerate their businesses like never before.
