ShelfSpace Setup for Your Dispensary

Getting started with ShelfSpace setup for your dispensary is straightforward because the platform does the heavy lifting. There's no software to install, no training courses to complete, and no database migration to manage. The platform connects to your existing POS, imports your vendor list, and applies the terms you've set with your vendors — then you're live. We walk you through every step.

The entire onboarding process typically takes three to five business days, and most of the work happens inside the platform rather than on your team's plate.

What the platform runs: POS connection, vendor imports, split configuration, bank account linking, QuickBooks integration, and your first test settlement. What you own: the splits and terms you set with each vendor, your access credentials, and the review at each step.

What Happens During Onboarding

Day 1 — Kickoff call. We learn which services you need (consignment, accounts payable, credit recovery, or all three). We collect POS credentials and a vendor list — a spreadsheet works fine.

Days 2–3 — Account setup. We connect the platform to your POS, import your vendors, and configure the category-level profit splits and aging discount tiers you specify. If you use QuickBooks, we link that too.

Day 4 — Test settlement. The platform runs a test settlement using real POS data so you can see exactly how the math works. You review the settlement report and confirm everything looks right.

Day 5 — Go live. The platform sends your vendors their vendor portal invitations, weekly settlement cycles activate, and your first real settlement runs the following week.

What You Provide vs. What the Platform Runs

The platform runs the rest:

You stay in the driver's seat: you own your vendor relationships and any term negotiations, and you approve and send each payment.

The Free Evaluation

Every new account starts with a free evaluation. We connect to your Metrc account, analyze your historical data, and show you exactly what you're leaving on the table — no commitment, no credit card. If you decide to move forward, you choose which modules to use and only pay when we deliver value.
