Step 1 / 5 · Standing Pay Links

One Pay Now link, on every invoice.

Each retailer gets a standing pay link that never expires and needs no login. It rides along on every invoice and every reminder — so paying you is always one click away.

Every extra step is an excuse not to pay. When the way to pay is already sitting in the invoice — no account to create, no processor to sign into — the friction that lets a bill age another month simply isn't there.

How the digital check works
Step 2 / 5 · Escalating Dunning

The follow-up you hate sending, sent for you.

A steady cadence to the retailer that firms up as the invoice ages — on schedule, in your name, the standing pay link in every message. You never type "just following up" 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 3 / 5 · Partial Payments & Plans

Meet a slow payer halfway — at 0% interest.

When a retailer can't clear the whole invoice at once, give them a way to pay part now and the rest on a schedule. Partial payments and 0% installment plans turn a stalled balance into steady cash.

A retailer who can't pay $4,820 today will often pay a third of it — and the rest on autopilot. No interest, no processor, no renegotiation: each installment is a real check drawn on their bank, and the whole plan stays tracked in one place.

Step 4 / 5 · ACH Collect

Pull the payment, straight bank-to-bank.

Once a retailer authorizes it, ACH collect pulls what they owe from their bank to yours — no processor in the middle to freeze or shut off. Included in every Automate plan; a mailed paper check, when you want one, is $5.

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.

Step 5 / 5 · You Get Paid

Watch it clear, in one place.

Live status on every invoice, every retailer, every payment — what's collected, what's on a plan, what's still being chased. In a free portal that's yours whether one retailer pays you or forty do.

No processor holding funds for a release window, no wondering where a payment stands. Seeing all of it is free forever — turning on the dunning, the plans, and ACH collect is the part you automate.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What is a standing pay link?

A standing pay link is a single Pay Now link that lives on every invoice you send a retailer. It never expires and needs no login — the retailer clicks it, enters their bank and routing number, signs on their phone, and a real digital check is generated on their account payable to you. Because the link is always there, every dunning email you send already has a one-click way to pay built in.

How does escalating dunning work?

Once an invoice is due, ShelfSpace runs the follow-up for you on a schedule that escalates in tone as the invoice ages — a friendly heads-up at the due date, a firmer reminder a week later, and so on. Every message carries the standing pay link, and the cadence stops on its own the moment the retailer pays. You're never the one typing "just following up" again.

Can a retailer pay part of an invoice or pay over time?

Yes. Automate supports partial payments and 0% installment plans, so a slow-paying retailer can clear a balance in pieces instead of ghosting the whole invoice. There's no interest and no processor — each payment is a real digital check drawn on the retailer's bank, and the balance and schedule stay tracked in one place.

What is ACH collect?

ACH collect pulls an authorized payment straight from the retailer's bank to yours, bank-to-bank, with no processor in the middle to freeze or shut off. It's included in every Automate plan at no per-transaction fee; a mailed paper check, when you want one, is $5.

What does collections automation cost?

Seeing every overdue invoice and sending one manual reminder is free forever on the Visibility tier. To automate the collecting — standing pay links, escalating dunning, partial payments, 0% installment plans, and ACH collect — you upgrade to Automate, banded by how many retailers you collect from and starting at $499/mo, with a 30-day free trial. See pricing.

Is this legal and safe in cannabis?

Yes. Every payment is a real digital check or an authorized ACH transfer drawn on the retailer's own bank account, payable to you. ShelfSpace never holds or moves the money, which is exactly why it works where card processors and payment apps get shut off.
