How Shelfly Works
Shelfly is the marketplace for renting shelf space in retail stores. Whether you want to place your products in a store or earn income from unused display space, here's how to get started.
For Vendors
Place your products in retail stores
Browse Available Spaces
Search the Shelfly marketplace by location, store category, and space size. View photos, dimensions, and pricing for retail shelf space and display areas near you.
Select Your Space
Open an available Flat Fee listing to review interior photos, exact dimensions, daily pricing, and any weekly or monthly discounts.
Book with Confidence
Submit a booking request and enter your card details. Your card is authorized (funds reserved) but not charged yet — you only pay if the store accepts your request.
Start Selling
Once the store confirms your booking, your card is charged and you're set. Set up your display and start reaching new customers in a physical retail environment.
For Store Owners
Earn income from available display space
List Your Space
Create a free listing for your available shelf, display, or floor space. Upload photos, set your daily price, and specify dimensions. Flat Fee booking is available now; consignment is coming soon.
Receive Booking Requests
Vendors browse your listing and submit booking requests with their business details and preferred dates. You'll receive an email notification for each new request.
Confirm or Decline
Review each request and accept the ones that are a good fit for your store. Vendor cards are automatically charged when you confirm — no chasing payments.
Get Paid
Connect and finish Stripe onboarding with both charges and payouts enabled. Payouts are deposited after a confirmed booking; Shelfly retains a 10% platform fee.
How Payments Work
Authorization at Booking
When you submit a booking request, your card is authorized — funds are reserved, not charged. An authorization is temporary and can expire before the store responds.
Charged on Confirmation
Your card is charged only if the store captures payment while the authorization is valid. If declined or cancelled before capture, the authorization is released. A cancellation after capture is not an automatic refund.
Automatic Payouts
Store owners receive 90% of the rental amount, deposited directly to their connected bank account. Shelfly retains a 10% platform fee to support the service.
