So far we know plenty of e-commerce marketplace models: products are offered through an online platform - when a customer buys them, they legally buy from the supplier, and the marketplace platform earns a commission. With Spreat, for the first time, that platform is a physical floor: your store. [How it works in detail](https://spreat.com/en/how-it-works) 1. ### The brand sells It delivers its products to your floor and remains the owner until the customer buys. 2. ### You are the marketplace You curate your assortment flexibly and sell the products on your floor for the brands. In return you earn a commission on every sale. 3. ### Spreat connects & settles Spreat connects your store with the right brands. Payment, receipts and settlement run fully automatically in the background. 150+ Brands 15,000+ Products ## Find your next bestseller. Let new brands inspire you: you see every product and every term before you decide anything.

Brick-and-mortar retail without a long listing process: Spreat puts your brand onto the shop floors of real stores. Your goods stay yours, sales happen at the store's till - and you see every movement and transaction in the Brandpool. That is where you find each other: stores approach you, you approach stores. [For brands](https://spreat.com/en/brands) [Join the Brandpool](https://brandpool.spreat.com/#registrieren=marke) ## Quick questions. A few first answers to the questions we get asked most often. I have a brand, not a store. Then it works the other way round: you put your assortment into the Brandpool, retailers discover you - and you discover stores that suit your brand and make them an offer. Do I have to buy the stock? No. The products remain the brand's property until a customer buys them at your till. You go in with zero stock outlay. Do I pay commission to Spreat as a store? No. The commission you agreed is paid out to you in full on every sale. Spreat earns from the brand: it pays 5% per sale - not you. What happens if a brand does not sell? You send the goods back to the brand whenever you want - there is no minimum term. You are left with nothing on your hands, because you bought nothing; only the return shipping is on you. How do I get my money? Automatically. The customer's payment runs through Spreat, your commission is settled and paid out. The commission invoice to the brands is created automatically and made available for your bookkeeping.
