How the portal works

There are four ways to make money here and one way to buy. This walks through each of them in the order you meet them: what you are looking at, what the buttons do, and what happens after you press one.

01 · BEFORE ANYTHINGGetting in

Never dealt with us before

Press Sign up and fill in the form. One screen, all fields at once. You are asked for your details and the company you invoice under, because that is what your payouts are made against.

The moment your profile exists you are taken to the Discord step below. That is not a formality — nothing works until it is done.

One screen. Use the details you actually invoice under.

You have dealt with us before

Then you already have a profile — from Discord, or from the old form — and it holds your history. You only lack a password. Do not sign up again: a second profile means a second Seller ID and your history split in two.

  1. On the login screen press First time login or forgot password?
  2. Fill in your email first, then press it. You get a mail with a link.
  3. Set a password there, then log in with it.

Signed up by mistake? You are told the profile already exists and pointed back to this button. Nothing breaks.

The way in for anyone who was already in our books.

Discord is not optional

Linking your Discord is required to trade. Not a preference — the portal refuses to claim, offer, accept or ship for a profile that is not linked, and for one that has left the server.

The reason is practical: every accepted deal gets its own Discord channel with you in it. That is where the pair is discussed, where the label lands, and where you can reach us. Without a Discord account there is nowhere to put you.

  1. A window appears with a Link Discord button. Press it.
  2. Approve on Discord's own screen.
  3. You come straight back, and you are in the server — the same click joins you.

Leave the server later and everything pauses within seconds. You then get a Rejoin Discord button, which puts you back in one press.

Appears about ten seconds in, and again if you try to do something without it.

02 · THE HOME PAGESelling: what is on offer

The front page is the market. Everything on it is something we want to buy from you, split into two kinds.

Screenshot 4The whole home page in Selling mode: the Deal Type and Payout View switches, the search bar, and a few deal cards below.
The two switches at the top decide what you see and in which price scale.

The two switches at the top

  • Deal TypeQuick Deals or Want To Buys. Two different ways to sell, explained below.
  • Payout ViewMargin / VAT21 or VAT0. This does not change the deal, only which payout figure is shown. Set it to the scale you actually invoice in, then the number on the card is the number you get.
Check this first. Comparing a VAT0 payout against your margin-scale cost is how a deal looks worse — or better — than it is.

Finding something

  • Search takes a SKU or a product name and filters as you type.
  • All Brands narrows to one brand.
  • Sort offers newest, oldest, A–Z, Z–A, and payout low → high or high → low. Payout sorting follows the scale you picked above.
  • Cards / Table switches the layout. Table fits far more on screen when you are scanning a lot at once.

03 · QUICK DEALSClaim at a fixed payout

A Quick Deal is a pair we need, at a payout we have already set. No negotiating: the price is on the card. First to claim it gets it.

The payout climbs — this is the part to understand

Each card shows two figures and a clock:

On the cardWhat it means
CurrentWhat you get if you claim right now
MaxThe highest it will ever reach
3h 20m leftTime until it reaches Max

The payout rises from Current towards Max over 12 hours from the moment the deal appears. Once there, the clock reads Max payout reached and it stops climbing.

So waiting earns more — and risks someone else taking it. That trade-off is the whole game here. A pair you are keen to move is worth claiming early; a pair you can sit on is worth watching.

Screenshot 5One Quick Deal card, close up: the Quick Deal badge, the time left, both payout boxes, and the Claim Deal button.
Current, Max, and how long until they are the same number.

Claiming

  1. Press Claim Deal.
  2. Pick your VAT type: Margin, VAT21 or VAT0. This has to match how you actually bought the pair — it decides your payout.
  3. Confirm.

A card reading Claim in Progress… is already being processed by someone else. Not a fault, just gone.

Screenshot 6The Confirm VAT Type window that opens after pressing Claim Deal.
Wrong VAT type here means the wrong payout. It matches how you bought the pair, not what you would prefer.

Then what

The claim moves to your dashboard under Quick Deals → Open Claims while we process it. From there it follows the chain — note that Quick Deals skip two of the stages the others have.

04 · WANT TO BUYSName your own price

A Want To Buy is a buyer looking for a specific pair. There is no set payout — you say what you want for it, and they answer.

Making an offer

  1. Switch Deal Type to Want To Buys.
  2. On the card you see Current Offer — the best offer so far, or No offer yet.
  3. Press Make Offer, choose your VAT type, and enter your amount.

Check the Payout View switch before typing a number. The amount you enter is read in the scale that is showing.

"No offer yet" does not mean any price goes. Every buyer sets a maximum when they post the request, and you never see it. So a first offer can still come back refused — not because someone beat you, but because you asked above their ceiling. Treat it as an invitation to try lower, not as a rejection of the pair.
Screenshot 7A Want To Buy card showing Current Offer, plus the Make Offer window with the amount field open.
You are bidding against the current lowest, not against a fixed price.

Following it: your Offers tab

Go to Want To Buys → Offers. Everything here is your own offer at some stage of its life. The three filters say which stage.

FilterWhat sits thereYour move
OpenOffers you placed, still live, waiting for an answerWait, or delete it
CounterThe buyer came back with their own priceAccept theirs, Counter again, or Delete
DeniedYour offer was turned downRetry with a new price, or Delete

The columns tell you where you stand: Your Offer is always your own last position, Buyer's Last Offer is theirs, and Current Lowest is the best anyone has offered — with a coloured dot showing whether you are still it.

Denied is rarely the end. Retry puts you back in with a different number, and the buyer sees it like any other offer.

Screenshot 8Want To Buys → Offers on the Counter filter, showing Your Offer, Buyer's Last Offer and the Accept / Counter / Delete buttons.
The buyer answered. Their number is next to yours.
Screenshot 9The same tab with the three filters visible, so the Open / Counter / Denied switch is clear.
Three stages of the same offer.

Why you are not in a bidding war

Worth knowing what is happening on the other side. The buyer does not see five separate offers and haggle with five people. They see one position — the best one — and negotiate against that.

So when they counter, that counter goes out to every seller in the running, not just to whoever was winning. You are still in it. And when someone is denied, their floor is passed on to the others too.

The practical effect: nobody can pick you off in a DM by saying "someone else offered 190". Everyone gets the same number at the same moment and answers it or does not.

After accepting

It moves down the chain: Accepted, Confirmed, Label Requested, Ready To Ship, Shipped, Delivered.

05 · CONSIGNMENTYour stock, sitting in front of buyers

What it actually does

You list stock at your price. From then on it is visible to everyone buying through Kickz Caviar — stores, and members sourcing for themselves. You do not have to watch a list or react to anything: requests land on your stock by themselves.

On top of that, your listing goes into the storefronts of the online stores connected to us, as an in-stock item on their own site. That is reach you do not get anywhere else.

But only if your price fits. A pair only appears in a store's shop when your price actually works against what that store sells at. Price it too high and it is not shown at all — not as expensive, just absent. Optimistic pricing does not get you a higher payout; it gets you no exposure.

Consignment has to be switched on for your profile. Not a consignor yet? There is a Become a consignor link on the home page.

List what you actually have

Everything here runs on trust in your inventory being real. A buyer presses Buy on your listing because it says you have the pair.

So: keep it current, and only list what is genuinely in hand. Sellers who repeatedly cannot deliver what they listed, or who list at prices they will not honour, are removed from the consignment network. It is not a warning system with steps — it is a network that only works if a listing means something.

Adding one pair

  1. Consignment → Inventory, then + Add Stock.
  2. SKU — the article code, e.g. DM0879-100. Unknown codes are refused rather than guessed at.
  3. VAT TypeMargin, VAT21 or VAT0. Must match how you bought it.
  4. Size EU, Selling Price, Quantity. One row per size; add as many as you like under the same SKU.
Screenshot 10The Add Stock window, filled in with one SKU and two size rows.
One SKU per window, as many sizes underneath as you have.

Adding a lot at once

Screenshot 11The Upload CSV window with both mode cards visible: Add Stock and Replace Stock.
Pick the mode before the file. This is the one place you can wipe your own inventory.
  • Add Stock adds the file's quantities on top of what you have.
  • Replace Stock throws away your entire inventory and puts the file in its place.

Press Download CSV Template — the columns are fixed:

ColumnExample
SKUDM0879-100
Size EU42  or  42 2/3
VAT TypeMargin
Selling Price (Suggested)180
Quantity1

The same SKU and size twice in one file gets you a warning before anything is written.

Changing it later

  • Edit changes the selling price or the quantity of a row.
  • Delete removes the row entirely.
  • The search box filters what is on screen — product name, SKU, size and brand at once.
Screenshot 12The Inventory tab: a couple of rows, the Actions column with Edit and Delete, and the search box in frame.
Your live list. What is here is what stores can see.

Offers, without you doing anything

This is the difference from Want To Buys. There you go looking and place an offer. Here offers arrive on your stock by themselves — a store wants a pair you have listed, and it lands in Consignment → Offers.

From that point it works like the Want To Buys offers tab: the same three filters, the same ACCEPT, Counter and Deny. What follows is the consignment chain — one step longer than the others, because you still have to confirm you have the pair.

You do not have to sit and watch. The count in the sidebar goes up when something needs you.

Screenshot 13Consignment → Offers with at least one open offer, sidebar visible so the counts show.
These came to you. You listed the stock and a store answered.

06 · BUYINGSourcing pairs for yourself

Switch the home page to Buying and you are looking at what is available to you instead of what we want from you.

Finding a pair

Search by SKU or name, filter by brand, sort the same way as on the selling side. Buying Type decides the price scale you are shown: All Types, B2B Only or Margin Only.

B2B prices show excluding VAT and say so. Margin prices include it. Check which you are looking at before comparing anything.

Screenshot 14The home page in Buying mode: the Buying Type selector, the search bar, and a few product cards.
Same page, other direction.

Opening a product

Click a product and you get every available size in one table. Five columns, and each one matters:

ColumnWhat it tells you
SizeEU size
Lowest PriceCheapest available for that size, in the scale you picked
ETAHow fast it ships — normally 1–2 business days
SourcesHow many sellers can supply it
Available QtyHow many pairs there are in total

Sources is the one people miss. A size with several sources is far more likely to actually arrive: if the first seller cannot deliver, the others can be asked. A single source is one person's word.

Screenshot 15An opened product with the size table visible: Size, Lowest Price, ETA, Sources, Available Qty, and the Buy / Offer buttons.
Five numbers per size. Sources tells you how likely it is to land.

Buy or Offer

  • Buy takes it at the listed price.
  • Offer lets you name a lower amount and see whether anyone takes it.

Neither is final on the spot — the seller has to confirm they actually have the pair.

You are never leaning on one seller. Press Buy or Offer and we do not simply forward it to the cheapest listing and hope. The same request also goes out to every other seller holding that size, and a want-to-buy is posted to the wider network at the same time.

So if that one listing turns out to be stale, there are already others working on it. It is the reason a purchase here is worth more than a screenshot of somebody's stock list.

Not there? Post a Want To Buy

If nobody is listing what you need, put out a request and let sellers come to you. It goes to every matching seller in our network.

  1. Press Post WTBs.
  2. SKU, Size, and a Max Price — the most you are willing to pay. Sellers do not see this figure; it is the ceiling for what reaches you.
  3. Buying Type — the scale your max price is in.

Sourcing a whole list? Bulk Post WTBs takes a CSV with three columns: SKU, Size, Max Price. There is a template to download.

Screenshot 16The Place Want To Buy window: SKU, Size, Max Price and Buying Type.
Your request goes out to every matching seller at once.

07 · YOUR BUYING TABSFollowing what you asked for

Open WTBs

Buying → Open WTBs holds every request still out there. Found the pair elsewhere, or no longer need it? Delete it. A stale request stays live and sellers keep working on it, so clearing them is a courtesy that costs you nothing.

Screenshot 17Buying → Open WTBs with a couple of requests and the Delete button visible.
What you still have out. Clear what you no longer need.

Offers on your requests

Answers land in Buying → Offers, with the same three filters you know from the selling side — Open, Counter, Denied — and the same buttons. The difference is only which side of the deal you are on.

  • ACCEPT takes the offer at the price shown.
  • Counter proposes your own.
  • Deny ends it.

Paying

An accepted offer moves to Buying → Payment Due. The sidebar shows a ! beside that tab while anything is outstanding, so you can see it without opening it.

  1. Press Pay. A payment page opens.
  2. Pay there and come back.

The link belongs to that purchase. Leave it and come back later and the same Pay button reopens the same payment — you never end up paying twice for one deal.

Your money is not handed straight to the seller. They are paid once the deal has actually gone through — pair received, checked, done. Until then it sits with us. Paying up front is what lets the seller ship immediately, without it being a leap of faith in either direction.

After payment the seller prepares the pair — but the next move is yours again: the buying chain asks you to upload a shipping label before anything ships.

Screenshot 18Buying → Payment Due with a Pay button, sidebar in frame so the ! marker is visible.
The exclamation mark means money is outstanding.

08 · THE CHAINWhat every deal does after it is agreed

The tabs in the sidebar are not categories — they are stages, in order, and the one a deal sits in tells you whose turn it is. Quick Deals run a shorter route than the other two, so pick the one you are following.

  1. Offers

    Your offer is in play. Your turn when the buyer answers: accept theirs, counter again, or let it go.

  2. Accepted

    They took your offer. Your turn: press DISCORD and process the deal in its channel. Nothing to confirm here — you named the price yourself, so accepting it was already the agreement.

  3. Confirmed

    The sale is on. Your turn: REQUEST LABEL when you are ready to send it.

  4. Label Requested

    Waiting on us. We make the label.

  5. Ready To Ship

    Label ready. Your turn: Download Label, pack as below, hand it over.

  6. Shipped

    On its way. Track opens the carrier's page; the status updates itself.

  7. Delivered

    Arrived. It moves to History → Sales, where your payout is recorded.

The DISCORD button

It turns up in the Actions column on most stages and opens the channel belonging to that deal. What you do there differs per route, so this follows the switch above.

Want To Buys. Once your offer is accepted the channel is where the deal is handled — what is expected of you, the label, anything that needs saying. There is nothing to confirm in the dashboard, so the channel is the next step rather than an extra one.

Whatever the route: the dashboard tells you where a deal stands, the channel is where it moves. Unsure what is expected of you? That button is the shortest way to an answer.

Screenshot 19A row with the DISCORD button in the Actions column — Open Claims is the clearest example.
One button per deal, straight to its own channel.
Packing. Clean, unbranded box. Remove price stickers and any other markings. Nothing extra inside. Pack it as professionally as you can — how it arrives is how it gets graded.

Something went wrong

History → Sales, find the sale, press Report Issue and describe it in your own words. It appears under History → Issues with our answer.

09 · WORTH KNOWINGSmall things that save time

  • The sidebar counts are live. A number that will not go down means something is genuinely waiting for you.
  • The search box keeps its term when you switch tabs. If a tab looks empty, clear it with the × first.
  • Payout View and Buying Type change what you read, not what you get. Set them before comparing prices.
  • Prices are whole numbers. No decimals, no currency symbol.
  • Sizes are EU, written the way the brand writes them — 42 2/3, not 42.67.
  • VAT type is not a preference. It has to match how you bought the pair; it decides what you are paid.
