Inventory risk
Sellers hold their own stock — you carry none. Launch a marketplace with zero buy-in or working capital.
Marketplace / Dropship
Sellers hold the stock.
The lowest-lift way to launch a marketplace. Sellers list and keep their items until they sell, then ship direct or via your hub. You carry no inventory — and keep the commission.
Why dropship
Launch with nothing on the shelf.
Dropship is the fastest route to a live marketplace. Sellers carry the stock and ship when it sells; Zelph runs onboarding, routing and payouts. You add a revenue line without adding a warehouse.
Time to launch
No warehouse build-out, no stock to onboard. Turn on a branded marketplace in days, not months.
Stays your brand
Buyers shop on your domain, in your brand world. You keep the data, the relationship and the commission.
