Sell through a partner. Know what happens next.
You own the inventory. A trusted partner sells it. StackKnack is exploring a way to share the items you approve, bring sales back to you and keep both businesses informed as orders move forward.
How partner selling could work
Your stock. Your partner’s sale. One shared view.
The picture below shows the idea: choose what your partner can sell, then follow the order and fulfillment updates together. Each business keeps its own records.

When it sells, the order and fulfillment status flow back.
Concept only. Supported sales channels and order coverage still need to be confirmed with design partners.
A simple example
Four units. One partner sale. Three left to sell.
Imagine your business owns four units and approves them for a selling partner. Here is what both sides would need to see when a customer buys one.
You approve the stock
Your partner sees four linked units available to sell.
Your partner makes a sale
The order is sent back so you can see what sold and coordinate fulfillment.
Both sides see the result
Availability and order status stay connected across the two businesses.
Illustrative planned flow. Availability, reservations and supported sales channels still need pilot validation.
What each business would see
Two businesses. The same sale in view.
Each side works from its own records. These example screens show the information a useful connection would bring together.

Where this could fit
Different businesses. A familiar handoff.
These examples start with two businesses that already work together. The details of sharing, shipping and settlement would be agreed for each partnership.
Your brand’s stock, sold by a retail partner.
A boutique wants to offer a selection of your products while you continue to own the stock.
STOCK OWNERYour brand→SELLING PARTNERPartner boutique
WHEN AN ITEM SELLS
When the boutique makes a sale, the order returns to you and both sides can follow the agreed fulfillment handoff.
A reseller sells from your available stock.
A distributor gives a trusted reseller access to selected inventory without sending a new spreadsheet for every stock change.
STOCK OWNERDistributor→SELLING PARTNERReseller
WHEN AN ITEM SELLS
Approved availability stays linked to the distributor’s items, and the reseller’s orders return to the stock owner.
Keep the item and its owner connected after a sale.
One specialty business owns individually tracked items. Another business presents and sells them under agreed terms.
STOCK OWNERInventory partner→SELLING PARTNERSelling business
WHEN AN ITEM SELLS
Each sale stays tied to the original item, so both businesses can review the order and the settlement owed under their agreement.
Illustrative use cases for a planned connector. Supported channels, order coverage and commercial rules require validation before a pilot.
Common questions
The details that matter to both partners.
These are the decisions we would work through with each design partner before inventory is shared.
Who owns the inventory?
The stock owner keeps the original item and ownership records. Each business keeps its own customer and financial records.
Who fulfills the order?
That depends on the partnership. The proposed workflow would pass the order and status updates between the businesses; the fulfillment handoff needs to be agreed before a pilot.
How do pricing and payouts work?
The partners set their own pricing, commission and settlement terms. We would define which amounts and updates each side needs to see during a pilot.
Do both businesses need StackKnack?
The proposed first version connects two businesses with separate StackKnack workspaces. We would assess other systems as part of a future connection.
Which sales channels can we use?
Channel support has not been confirmed for this connector. We need reliable order updates from a channel before publishing shared stock to it.
