For manufacturers
You get your products into pro shops without building a sales process around every single store. The catalogue comes from the web shop you already have, and payment goes straight from the pro shop to your account.
Access is granted, not requested
The platform is closed. Every manufacturer application is reviewed by hand before access is given, and nothing is sold to consumers — both parties to a trade are businesses.
That is deliberate: a pro shop needs to be able to count on the party on the other side of a consignment agreement being a real company.
Your catalogue does not need typing in
If you already have a catalogue, it can be pulled in rather than copied out. If your shop runs on Shopify, the whole catalogue comes from one link. Otherwise you can paste the addresses of the items you want, or upload a product list as a CSV file from your stock system or a spreadsheet.
Prices never come along. Your web shop's prices are consumer prices, while the terms here are between two businesses — a price that slips from one field to the other is only discovered on a settlement. Everything lands as a draft, and you activate it yourself.
You book the shipping
The system produces the delivery note and tracks the shipment, but does not book carriage with a carrier. You use your own shipping agreement, which is the one you have the price on.
The receipt, on the other hand, is recorded in the system, because it is what creates the pro shop's stock. Without it consignment has no stock to sell from.
What it costs
The platform fee is set to 0%. The money does not run through the platform, so a fee would have to be invoiced afterwards, and collecting it would cost more than it brought in.
The fee rules still exist and are calculated on every trade, so the amount appears on every settlement — it is simply zero. If that changes, the rate will be shown before a trade is entered into.
