Unlike hosting your own e-commerce website, where you have to drive traffic to your own store, MainStem drives thousands of cannabis grower and retailers through its own comprehensive network of e-commerce marketplace sites, our affiliate program and within our Purchase Pro™ software.

MainStem integrates with most leading operations and e-commerce platforms including Shopify, WooCommerce, EDI, and more are being added to our integrations list everyday.

No. The purpose of the MainStem platform is to provide better access and more intelligent technology to cannabis companies. Our marketplace includes everything but the bud. This means no seeds, clones, or finished products.

MainStem puts your products in front of the customers you are looking for. Once your products are listed, thousands of cannabis growers and retailers all over the world will be able to see your products and add them right to their orders. All you need to do is pick, pack, and ship the order.

Our customers are primarily in the United States and Canada, but we also have customers in Puerto Rico, Jamaica and in the UK. You can select which countries, states and provinces you will ship to when you setup your Supplier Profile.

Not only can you see how your products are performing on the platform, but MainStem also gives you insight into the products and categories you are not currently selling in. This gives you incredible foresight into new products you may want to start carrying. All of your own data is exportable into CSV at anytime.

Access to the MainStem Supplier Core™ truly is free. You can upload your products and get them listed with no cost or risk. There is a % margin applied to your products which varies in a range depending on the product line you are listing in, the volume, and uniqueness of your product. We are transparent about these fee's to you, and will show you the price you will be paid and the price the customer will pay for the product, you have full control of your pricing at all times.

Example:
You list a product on MainStem for $100 USD. That product has a 15% markup applied. Customers will see the product listed for $115 USD. You get paid $100 every time that product sells and MainStem collects $115 from the customer.

If you are able to use one of our pre-built plugin/integrations (Shopify, WooCommerce, EDI) or you upload a spreadsheet of your products you can usually get your products listed within 72 hours.

Our "Verified Supplier Network" goes through a semi-formal vetting process. Once they've been approved by our team of Supplier Specialists, they are graded throughout their lifetime on our platform.

Most of our customers don't even know they have a problem until they've seen our solution. Our purchasing platform was specifically built to handle the nuances of the cannabis industry when it comes to growing organizations. We can handle multiple bank accounts in unlimited states, managed regionally, or at the corporate level, but yet still aggregate all of your purchasing data in one location so you get a real insight into your operations. You can't hope to grow without finding solutions geared at helping you streamline.
