Brands collecting faster on the ShelfSpace platform
Step 1 / 7 · What It Is

Every dollar you're owed, in one place.

One accounts receivable dashboard across every retailer you sell to. No spreadsheet, no sticky notes, no guessing who owes what.

You can't collect what you can't see. The platform pulls every unpaid invoice into a single view, so the money owed to you stops living in your head and starts living somewhere you can act on it.

How vendors get paid through ShelfSpace
Step 2 / 7 · Gather

Bring every unpaid invoice into one system.

Forward it, upload it, or let it flow in from the retailer you already share on ShelfSpace. It lands in your AR the moment it arrives.

The day a term slips is the day AR starts rotting. Getting every invoice into one system — the moment it exists — is what makes the rest possible.

Why cannabis AR gets out of hand
Step 3 / 7 · AR Aging

Know exactly what's late, and how late.

A live accounts receivable aging schedule, updated every day. Current, 30, 60, 90-plus — sorted, totaled, and flagged before a dollar turns into bad debt.

More than half of cannabis invoices run past due, and nearly a quarter age past 90 days — where recovery drops off a cliff. The aging schedule is how you catch a slow-paying retailer while the money is still collectible, not after it's a write-off.

How AR aging protects your cash
Step 4 / 7 · Reminders

The reminders you hate sending, sent for you.

A steady, professional cadence to the retailer — on schedule, in your name — so you're never the one typing "just following up on this" again.

Chasing money is the worst part of the job, and the part that quietly poisons the relationship. Hand the follow-up to the platform and you keep the retailer — and your evenings.

How ShelfiQ handles the follow-up
Step 5 / 7 · One-Click Pay

Retailers pay in one click. No login.

The reminder ends in a Pay Now button. The retailer enters their bank details, signs with a finger, and submits. That's the whole thing.

Every extra step is an excuse not to pay. One link, no account to create, and the friction that lets an invoice sit for another month simply isn't there.

How the digital check works
Step 6 / 7 · Why It Works

ShelfSpace never touches the money.

The check goes straight from the retailer's bank to yours. We're not a bank and not a processor — there's no account in the middle to freeze or shut off.

That's the whole reason it works. The rails that ban cannabis all custody your money at some point. This one doesn't — the retailer pays what they owe, and it lands straight in your account.

Why bank-to-bank survives in cannabis
Step 7 / 7 · You Get Paid

A real check, in your account.

Live status on every invoice, every retailer, every payment — in a portal that's yours whether one retailer pays you or forty do.

Deposit the check by phone or print it — the same as any other. No processor holding funds for a release window, no wondering where a payment stands. It's all in one place, and it's free to watch.

Frequently asked questions

What is an accounts receivable aging schedule?

An AR aging schedule sorts every invoice a retailer owes you by how overdue it is — Current, 1–30 days, 31–60, 61–90, and 90+ days past due. It shows at a glance which dollars are healthy and which are turning into bad debt. ShelfSpace builds and updates this schedule automatically across every retailer you sell to, so you always know exactly what's late and how late.

How do I collect from a dispensary that won't pay?

Put the invoice in one system, track how far past due it is, and send steady, automatic reminders that end in a one-click payment link. ShelfSpace does exactly that — the retailer gets a Pay Now email with no login and no signup, enters their bank and routing number, signs on their phone, and a real digital check is generated on their account, payable to you. You don't have to keep chasing.

Can you just run collections for me?

Yes. We run the dunning and collections for you — the invoices loaded in one place, the AR aging schedule kept live, and the standing Pay Now links and escalating follow-up cadence sent in your name, on schedule, until the retailer pays. You set the terms; we do the chasing. Prefer to run it yourself? You can — but most vendors hand it off and let us run it. Talk to us and we'll scope it.

Does the retailer need a ShelfSpace account to pay me?

No. They pay from a single link in the reminder email — no login, no signup, no app to download. They enter their bank and routing number, sign on their phone, and submit. It's closer to a card checkout than an onboarding.

What does it cost me?

Seeing what you're owed is free — every overdue invoice in one place and a live AR aging schedule across every retailer you sell to. We run the rest for you — standing pay links, escalating dunning, partial payments, installment plans, and ACH collect — scoped to your operation. Pricing lives on our pricing page. Talk to us and we'll scope it.

Is this legal and safe in cannabis?

Yes. What gets generated is a real digital check drawn on the retailer's bank account, payable to you — the same check they'd write by hand, just digital. ShelfSpace never holds or moves the money, which is exactly why it works where card processors and payment apps get shut off.

How fast do I get paid?

As soon as the retailer clicks Pay Now and submits, a digital check is generated payable to you. You deposit it by phone or print it, the same as any other check. There's no processor in the middle holding funds for a release window.

What if the retailer still won't pay?

You're no worse off than today. The dunning can run automatically so you're not the one chasing, partial payments and installment plans give a slow payer a way to clear the balance, and everything you're owed stays tracked in one place with a live aging schedule instead of a spreadsheet.
