Hello.
I follow Nike’s discounts in the United States and buy their products cheaply. However, they only give me a receipt. I want to sell these in my store. Would I have any problem with this?
Topic summary
A user asks about reselling Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour products on Shopify after purchasing them from official stores at discounted prices, noting they only receive receipts without formal authorization.
Key Requirements Identified:
- Authorization needed: Reselling branded products typically requires being a licensed or authorized reseller, not just having purchase receipts
- Legal considerations: Must comply with trademark/copyright laws and brand usage restrictions when displaying logos and branding elements
- Terms review: Important to check purchase agreements for any resale restrictions
Technical Setup:
- Requires establishing a Shopify store with appropriate hosting
- Should create proper product categories and potentially offer discounts to drive conversions
Official Guidance:
Shopify staff recommends consulting a legal advisor in the user’s jurisdiction, as they cannot provide specific legal advice on licensing requirements. They also suggest reviewing Shopify’s Terms of Service.
Status: The discussion remains unresolved regarding whether the user’s specific situation (buying discounted products with only receipts) constitutes sufficient authorization for resale.
