Certified Metrc Third-Party Vendor
I've been a cannabis operator since 2015, and I have the scars to prove it. ShelfSpace is the product of everything I learned the hard way.
More about Chris What ShelfSpace actually isThe ShelfSpace profitability system shines a light on it.
The platform three-way matches every invoice against Metrc and your PO. You cut the check.
Inventory is your biggest expense. The platform makes sure every dollar paid to a vendor maps to a SKU you actually received.
See how the AP platform worksReturns, expirations, promo costs — line by line. Data crunched, credit memos sent, discussions organized, healthy relationships maintained.
Your gross margin data is lying to you. The platform pulls the line items the vendor never credited, builds the memo, and sends it. Your team handles the conversations that need a human.
See how credit recovery worksThe platform syncs with Metrc, generates the settlement per vendor per week, and queues the check. You approve, you send, and you own the vendor relationship.
Major retailers like Home Depot sell on consignment — why is that? Same answer in cannabis. Vendors win too: they keep their margin and get paid as units sell.
See how consignment worksCheck 21 compliant. Drawn on your bank, signed by you. Delivered as a digital check, a mailed paper check, or ACH — your call, vendor by vendor.
Cannabis banking is hard. Checks clear under the same Check 21 framework banks have used since 2003 — print-at-home legal, mobile deposit ready — and when a vendor would rather skip the paper, ACH drops the money straight into their account.

A vendor's AP team emailed asking for invoice status and to add a new Treasury contact. We pulled the live data, replied with the breakdown, and added the user — same thread, one minute later.

First credits identified in 14 days. Consignment settlements running on the platform within 30 days. Full AP live on the platform within 60 days.
Generic AP software lives outside cannabis — no Metrc link, no court-of-record verification, no understanding of vendor credit memos or weekly consignment settlements. ShelfSpace is built for cannabis specifically. Every invoice is three-way matched against Metrc and your PO before you cut the check. ShelfiQ answers first-line vendor email in seconds. Consignment settlements and monthly credit memos run on the same platform — same vendor list, same Metrc data, same dashboard.
No. Your buyer keeps product selection, vendor negotiation, and sourcing. Your bookkeeper keeps close, reconciliation, payroll, and tax. The platform handles invoice processing, vendor terms, payments, credit memos, and QuickBooks sync — and ShelfiQ handles first-line vendor email. Clean QuickBooks entries land in real time, so your bookkeeper's close gets faster, not bigger.
ShelfiQ answers first. Payment status, balance questions, missing checks, credit memo replies — answered in seconds with live Metrc and settlement data, in the same tone your AP person would use. The roughly five percent that need a human decision route to your AP person with the thread and the data already attached.
Day 1 we audit your last 90 days of vendor activity. Within 14 days the first credits are identified and AP is live on the platform for your top vendors. Within 30 days consignment settlements run. Within 60 days the full AP operation is on the platform. You only pay once results show up.
