Scalerion is a platform that helps to make products directly purchasable in the emotion - with the people and in the moments that inspire us. For this purpose, we connect providers of customer access and providers of goods - for completely new cooperations.

Scalerion can be used both by suppliers, as providers of the goods, and by agents, who offer their customer access to suppliers in return for a commission. The end consumers, in turn, use Scalerion without any necessary installation and without prior registration for the actual purchase process.

Customers can initiate the purchase completely independently with their smartphone. To do this, customers can either scan the QR code of an item or receive a corresponding product link, for example via social media.

A QR code starts a purchase process, always linking the agent, a specific product and the supplier behind it. An agent can download his individual QR codes in his account for each of the suppliers connected to him.

Due to the now very good cameras of most smartphones, even scanning a small / distant QR code is no longer a problem.

No. A QR code or product link leads to a responsive website where the complete purchase can be made without installing an app or any necessary registration.

Yes, additional QR codes can be scanned both from a product view and from the shopping cart. Alternatively, you can also jump to the product overview page of the agent at any time in order to add further items to the shopping cart there.

Yes. Scalerion provides a marketplace technology that allows mixed shopping carts with items from different suppliers.

Our intuitive platform makes it possible to get started very quickly - the initial registration and company registration as a supplier or agent can be completed within a few minutes.

Information management:
Suppliers and agents can initially network with each other and make the basic settings (products approved for intermediation and commission level).

There are no initial setup costs for any party - the start with Scalerion is completely free of charge. For successful, i.e. non-returned orders, Scalerion receives a commission from the supplier. For agents and end customers, the use of Scalerion is completely free of charge.

All. It does not matter how many or what products are made - the only important thing is that you can serve individual customers directly.

As a manufacturer, you must have a registered company with a VAT ID within the European Union (EU). Furthermore, you must be able to ship your products directly to end customers in Germany. For receiving your payouts you'll have to provide a bank account within the EU.

You get the opportunity to sell directly to end customers in Germany using well-established stationary retailers. This way, you can speed up your sales in Germany much faster than with a traditional wholesale approach where you first must gain local partners willing to buy your products on their own risk.

No, we don't build online stores AND Scalerion is not an either/or solution. You already have a well-functioning online store? - Great. Direct customer access through an established dealer in different cities but not or only a little? Then you should contact us, because through us you can easily network with a wide variety of dealers and expand your D2C business easily, quickly and sustainably.

In addition to general company information, onboarding requires your T&Cs, cancellation policy, and privacy notice - this information is displayed to end customers during the sales process and is also part of the order confirmations sent out.

We offer a wide range of integration options, both for very small companies and for large corporations - our integration guide provides you with all the information you need.

Our integration guide provides you with all the information you need in this regard; in summary, the following information is exchanged:

Returns: Registered returns requests from end customers
Commission documents: Overview and detailed statements of all paid commissions

If, during the purchase process, the item is no longer available (because another customer was faster), the customer is notified of this and cannot make a purchase.

This depends on the selected delivery options of the supplier. Basically, Scalerion supports the delivery of goods as well as the collection either from the intermediary or from you as the supplier directly.

Each supplier agrees the commission individually with each of its merchants. Of course, the commission can also be adjusted at any time.

For a purchase, all gross prices of the ordered items as well as any shipping costs incurred are included in the commission calculation. In the case of mixed baskets of goods, the agent therefore receives commissions from all suppliers involved according to the respective values of the goods.

In the Vouchers module, the settled commissions can be viewed and downloaded.

The payment to the merchants is made by Scalerion.

The payouts are made on a weekly basis. For each purchase, it is first ensured that there are no returns, then the corresponding commissions are released for payout.

If an item is returned within the statutory return periods, no commission will be due for this item (should the original purchase contain further unreturned items, the calculated commission will of course be paid for these).

No. Just like the merchants, Scalerion only receives the corresponding commission for successfully completed purchases.
