Brands paid every week, on the ShelfSpace platform
Every invoice three-way matched against Metrc and your PO before a dollar goes out. Drive the software yourself, or hand us the AP desk — either way, you just approve.
Vendors email invoices to an address they already use; we ingest them.
Every invoice three-way matched against Metrc and your PO, terms applied, the AP aging schedule built.
Nothing pays until you say so; approve, and we cut the check or ACH.
From vendor list to QuickBooks entry. The platform does the math; you cut the checks.
Inventory is your biggest expense. The platform makes sure every dollar paid to a vendor maps to a SKU you actually got. You sign the check. See a real payment (PDF).
See how the AP platform worksVendor emails it. ShelfiQ parses it. Lined up against the PO and the delivery.
No paper to chase. No spreadsheet to update. The invoice is in the queue before you knew it arrived.
Invoice-by-email workflowRead-only sync with your state compliance system. The same source of truth your inventory team uses.
Cannabis is the one industry with a court-of-record for what was delivered. The platform uses it to three-way match every invoice. No more "we shipped 24, you signed for 22, here's an invoice for 24."
How Metrc verification worksThe platform won't let a check leave until the math holds.
Short deliveries. Wrong prices. Duplicate invoices. Small per check, thousands a year. The platform catches them before the Check 21 payment leaves your bank.
How dispensaries lose money to vendorsShelfiQ, your AI for AP, answers your vendor emails first. Cutting your email traffic by 90%.
Your AP person stops triaging vendor email. Vendors get an answer in seconds, not a week. The few that need a human come to you with the full thread already attached. See a real thread (PDF).
A real vendor email threadFree your team up from 10–15 hours per week of busy work. Save some money in the process.
We don't replace your bookkeeper. The platform compresses 12 hours of AP grunt work into 2. The rest of their week — close, reporting, strategy — finally fits. See where AP labor really goes.
How AP works for cannabis bookkeepersTheir own portal. Live payment status. Credit memos when due. Answers in seconds.
Happy vendors prioritize you. Better terms, better allocation, fewer collection calls. AP is half the vendor relationship. Run it clean and the rest gets easier. Vendors get their check digitally the moment it's ready — and for the ones who'd rather have paper, you can opt them into a physical check in the mail. Or skip the check entirely: if a vendor would rather be paid by direct deposit, you can pay them by ACH bank transfer straight to their bank.

"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."

Those are general AP tools. We're cannabis-native: every invoice is verified against Metrc, not just against the PO. The platform knows what 24 units of GG #4 actually weigh in your vault, because it reads the same compliance system your buyer reads. General AP software doesn't.
Yes. We run AP end to end — ingesting every invoice, three-way matching it against Metrc and your PO, applying terms, building the aging schedule, and cutting checks or ACH — and you approve anything that moves money. It's your call whether you drive the software yourself or hand us the desk and just approve; the work is the same either way.
First verified check within 14 days. We onboard your vendors, connect your Metrc account and QuickBooks, and you're cutting your first three-way-matched payment in two weeks.
Every check. The platform queues invoices, verifies them against Metrc, and prepares the Check 21 payment. You approve, print, and sign. Nothing leaves your bank without you.
Yes. Check 21 is the default, but ACH bank transfer is an opt-in alternative. After a one-time bank-transfer setup, you can pay any vendor who links a bank account by direct deposit instead of a check — the funds land straight in their account, with no check to print or deposit. Vendors who aren't set up for ACH keep getting a Check 21 check. See how ACH payments work.
ShelfiQ answers most routine vendor emails directly — payment status, balance questions, missing checks, credit memo follow-ups — using live Metrc and payment data. The ones that need a human decision escalate to your AP person, with the full thread context already attached.
Yes. Landlords, marketing agencies, consultants, distributors. The platform processes every check you cut — cannabis or not.
A bookkeeper at $25/hour spends 10–15 hours a week on AP — $1,000–$1,500 a month per store in labor. On the platform, your AP person spends 2–3 hours a week on approvals and exceptions. The platform does the heavy lifting; your team finalizes.
Seeing what you're owed is free. We scope the rest — invoice-to-Metrc verification, short-pay adjustments, check and ACH payments, credit recovery, the AP bots, and QuickBooks sync — to your operation, delivered as software you drive or a service we run for you. Every engagement is custom, sized in a short consult. Talk to us.
