The Marketplace

Licensed on and off-premise Buyers (Retailers, Restaurants, Wine Clubs, Bars, etc.) nationwide can discover and purchase wholesale products in the Marketplace. Buyers can request samples, communicate with Sellers, and place orders directly. Or, if there's a product you've always wanted to carry, Merchant23 can get it to you cleared and compliant.

How It Works

Merchant23 has a network of distribution partners in every state for clearing and compliance. When a purchase order is created, Merchant23 and our team of Distributors get to work on logistics and compliance. 

This allows you to shop with confidence. Products in the Marketplace have compliance, distribution fees, and shipping already covered. Products arrive directly to your store or warehouse through an in-state Distributor.
