Vendors get paid
when products sell

Scan-based trading is a payment system based on product sales. It creates a true partnership between retailers and their vendors — when a product sells to a customer, the retailer and vendor split the profit.

Customers purchase items just like any other product. They browse the menu, make their selection, and complete the transaction with zero friction. These SKUs are indistinguishable from wholesale inventory, ensuring a consistent workflow for your staff and a standard experience for your customers.

We integrate, crunch,
and pay — you sell

Inventory flows through your supply chain just like standard wholesale. We integrate into the background of your operation. The only thing that changes is the efficiency of your capital.

01

We integrate with your POS

We connect with retail POS systems like Dutchie and Flowhub to pull sales data. Product is delivered, manifested in METRC, and received into your POS using your current protocols.

02

We crunch the numbers

Our engine generates a weekly report on retail sales, discounts, and inventory status — showing what was sold, what it sold for, what's left in stock, and what's owed to vendors.

03

We pay the vendor

We issue a weekly check to vendors on behalf of retailers, along with supporting documents. Checks are Check 21 compliant, printable on standard paper, and mobile-deposit ready.

ShelfSpace also manages your wholesale vendor payments through the same AP engine. Consignment and wholesale, one platform.

Why retailers and vendors
love ShelfSpace

Different problems, same solution. ShelfSpace transforms the economics of cannabis retail for both sides of the counter.

Retailers

Boost margins & free up cash

How much inventory are you holding on your balance sheet? What if that amount was $0? We make that a reality — while also protecting your margin from hidden inventory losses.

  • 01

    Add more inventory for free

    Grow your SKU count without spending a dime on product. More selection drives more revenue with zero upfront cost.

  • 02

    Boost profitability

    Eliminate hidden inventory costs from discounts, expired products, and moisture loss. Your margins are protected by the contract.

  • 03

    Cash flow stability

    It's a tough market and you need your cash. ShelfSpace frees up the capital currently trapped in inventory sitting on your shelf.

Vendors

Boost volume & get paid weekly

We have an AR crisis in our industry. Are you tired of tracking down payments and eating losses? ShelfSpace facilitates payments so you get paid out weekly from your retail partners.

  • 01

    Get into more stores

    Being open to ShelfSpace opens more doors. Retailers want to say yes when the product is free to stock. More stores means more revenue.

  • 02

    Stores carry more of your SKUs

    Your retail partners will want to carry more of your lineup when there's no upfront cost. More SKUs on the shelf means more revenue.

  • 03
