How to grow your payments app with sneaker and streetwear resellers

- 3See every payment as it happens
Sneaker and streetwear resellers buy limited-edition trainers and clothing when they drop and sell them on to collectors, often through Instagram, marketplaces, sneaker conventions and small resale shops. Single items can sell for hundreds, so both sides want to know the money is real before anything is posted. Marketplaces take a large cut, and bank transfers between strangers feel risky. A payments app that sends a secure payment link, takes deposits to hold rare pairs and lets sellers take tap payments at events can win these resellers, and every buyer who pays sees your app.
