Before You Get Started
Before you begin, please ensure that you meet the following requirements:
- Product Selection: Ensure that the products you would like to sell are in StockX’s catalog. You can confirm by searching for your product or products here or searching by brand here. StockX’s catalog features a wide variety of current culture items such as sneakers, streetwear, electronics, and collectibles, including brands like Nike, Adidas, Air Jordan, ASICS, Supreme, Fear of God, Louis Vuitton, Pop Mart, Sony PlayStation, and more.
- StockX Account: You must have an active StockX account.
- Complete Account Details: Ensure that your StockX account details are complete, including shipping and payment information.
- GTIN in Barcode Field: Products you would like to list on StockX should have a Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) value in the barcode field of the variant on your Shopify store. Read more for additional product matching options, including the StockX Style ID product metafield.
- Currency: Your Shopify and StockX accounts should use the same currency.
- Pricing: The products should be priced appropriately on Shopify with an option to markup when listing on StockX.
- Onboarding: Please review this onboarding guide in its entirety before connecting with StockX.
Setup
- Step 1 – Log in to Shopify: Open your Shopify admin panel by logging in with your credentials.
- Step 2 – Log out of StockX: Ensure that you are logged out of your StockX account on your browser.
- Step 3 – Install the App: Search for “StockX” in the Shopify App Store, or visit this link. Click the “Install” button and follow the prompts.
Step 4 – Exclude All Products: In order to prevent all products from being automatically listed on StockX, you need to exclude them from your StockX Sales Channel.
- Open the Shopify admin and navigate to the Products page.
- Select all products using the checkbox.
- Click on the ellipsis (…) and select “Exclude from Sales Channel”
- Select “StockX” and click on “Exclude products”
Configuring the StockX Sales Channel App
- From your Shopify admin, go to Settings > Apps and sales channels.
- Click StockX.
- Click Open sales channel.
- In the StockX Account section, click Connect.
- In the “Are your items sellable on StockX?” dialog, review the product categories and brands, and then click “Yes I sell these items” if you have the relevant products.
- To connect your StockX account to Shopify, log in with your StockX account details.
- Follow on-screen instructions to match and list your products, and refer to the Managing Your StockX Listings on Shopify section below
- Click on publish listings to list your products.
- Apply a markup or markdown from your Shopify price to StockX listings, using the price settings. For example: a 10% markup will list a product priced at $100 on Shopify to list at $110 on StockX, and a -10% markdown will list a product priced at $100 on Shopify to list at $90.

Step 1 – Matching products on Shopify to the StockX catalog
- Shopify products are primarily matched to the StockX catalog using the Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) value, which can be found in the Barcode field (ISBN, UPC, EAN, etc.) on the product’s variant page. This is the most reliable method for matching, as GTINs are globally unique identifiers for products.
- However, if a GTIN match isn’t found, the system will attempt to match using the StockX Style ID product metafield. This metafield should contain the unique Style ID that corresponds to the product on the StockX website. An exact match to the value on the StockX website is preferred.
- In addition to the Style ID, the system also checks the StockX Size Chart product metafield and the StockX Size variant metafield. Choose the correct Size Chart metafield from the dropdown values on StockX Size Chart product metafield. Enter the Size in StockX Size metafield on the variant metafield on the variant page.
- It’s crucial that the Size value in the product’s variant corresponds correctly to the values in the Size Chart metafield.
- For example, if the Size Chart uses US sizing (e.g., US M), then the Size value should also correspond to US M.
- Ensure the Size value is numerical and doesn’t include any prefixes (e.g., 8 instead of US 8).
- If a GTIN match is not possible, the system will attempt to match the product using a combination of the Style ID, Size Chart, and Size values. This method is less reliable than GTIN matching, but it can still be effective if the data is entered correctly.
- Overall, ensuring that the GTIN, Style ID, Size Chart, and Size values are all accurate and consistent is crucial for successfully matching Shopify products to the StockX catalog.
Step 2 – Confirm the GTIN Values
- Open a product on Shopify, and click on a particular variant. Confirm the correct GTIN value is in the ”Barcode (ISBN, UPC, GTIN, etc.)” field on the variant page.
Step 3 – Confirm the Style ID Related Value
- Open the product page on Shopify, and check the StockX Style ID and StockX Size Chart product metafields. Then, open the variant page on Shopify, and check the StockX Size Variant metafield is filled.
Step 4 – Select Products for StockX
- Use the app interface to select products that you want to list on StockX.
- Select “Include in Sales Channel” and select “StockX”. Then select “Include products”.
- Any products/variants that are included and match a GTIN on StockX then create a live listing on StockX.
- Note: Include fewer than 10 products initially to test that the products are being listed appropriately before selecting all of your products.
Step 5 – Review
- Double-check your product listings and make any necessary individual price adjustments on StockX, using the selling page or on StockX Pro.
Examples Below:

Monitoring and Updating Your Inventory
- Step 1 – Track Sales and Inventory: Use the app dashboard to monitor sales and inventory levels. The app will automatically update your Shopify store with sales data from StockX.
- Step 2 – Handle Orders: Fulfill orders as they come in. StockX orders must be shipped using the label and documents provided by StockX. This is available on the StockX pending selling page or StockX Pro. Do not use your own label, or your orders may be canceled.
Tips For Adding and Deleting Listings
- Only one quantity of each product will be listed. Once a sale on StockX occurs, the Shopify quantity will be decreased, and the StockX listing will be replaced by a new listing (only if there is remaining quantity in Shopify).
- Products with zero quantity/zero price will not be listed.
- Markup cannot be done for individual products.
- Any product or price-related changes (such as deleting a listing or updating your Ask price) made on StockX or StockX Pro will not reflect on Shopify. Shopify price changes will be pushed to StockX and override any price there.
- Any price changes made on Shopify or StockX will be reflected on StockX, and if an order is completed, the order will be placed on Shopify, and the inventory will be adjusted accordingly.
- Deleting a listing from StockX will not delete the listing from Shopify. The listing may get relisted at any time; you would need to exclude the product from the StockX sales channel on Shopify to avoid relisting.
- If you update a listing on Shopify, the price will be updated on StockX. You can also update the price for individual products on StockX. The prices will be overwritten whenever the product price on Shopify is updated.
Additional Information
Negative Payout Prevention:
If you reduce the price such that the payout becomes negative, the Ask will not be updated, and the previously listed Ask will remain unchanged.
Seller Limit Enforcement:
If you increase the price above the allowed Seller Limits, the ask will not be listed, and the previously listed price will remain unchanged.
