Don't know but I can see it work the same way as most other retail.
Call a maker ask them what it takes to be their representative and
buy about 50 cues from that maker.
Then do the same to all the other cue makers you can think of.
Takes some cash but making a website with live inventory and a secure
shopping cart can also be very expensive.

Are you depending on cues sales for a supplement or livelihood. Maybe you can represent a cue company to get started and gain experience. Make contacts.
Set up a table at matches and expo's. As in any kind of sales...you must be able to promote what you have.

Not a good business. You always have to compete with the big box stores.
If you deal production cues you will certainly need a lathe to fix your new cues.
You will never pay off the credit card bill.
And so many broke ass pool players always trying to take any profit you might make.

I have a pro shop in a large pool room in South Texas. People come in all the time and tell me they want to get into the biz. I have set up several wanna be dealers and cue nuts with all the info and merchandise to get them started. The longest anyone lasted was almost 2 years, and only because he bought a huge stock of cues and cases.
The rest figured it out pretty quick, that the business was a joke comprised of a lot of time and energy wasted, for very very little return on investment.
Then they come with the question, 'why do I stay in the biz?'
My stock answer is......I am stone retarded.....
Rockin' Robin<<<<...smarter than Einstein...wiser than Confucious...dumber than a box of rocks.
