How we verify suppliers, and how your money is protected
Five gates before any supplier is listed. Escrow for every overseas buyer. No Indian marketplace offers the second one.
The five gates
A supplier that fails any one of these is not listed. There is no paid route around them.
IEC verification
The Import Export Code is checked against DGFT records. No IEC, no listing — a company without one cannot legally export from India.
GSTIN verification
GST registration is verified and matched to the legal entity name. This catches trading shells operating under a manufacturer's name.
Bank reference
A banker's reference confirming the account is in the company's own name and has been operating. Payment must go to the verified entity, never to a third party.
Factory verification
Physical verification of the manufacturing unit — address, machinery, capacity. Traders are listed as traders, never as manufacturers.
Trade references
Two contactable references from existing buyers. For export categories we ask for at least one overseas reference.
Escrow for overseas buyers
Funds are held and released to the supplier only once shipping documents are verified against what you ordered. If the documents do not match, the money does not move.
This matters more than it sounds. India's largest B2B marketplace caps its buyer protection at ₹5,00,000 and, in its own published terms, offers it to India-based buyers only. An overseas buyer sourcing from India through the incumbent platforms has no protection at all.
- Available to every overseas buyer, on every order
- Released against verified shipping documents, not against promises
- No fee to the buyer
What we do not do
- We do not sell your requirement to unlimited suppliers. The cap is 5 and it is published on the form.
- We do not sell buyer contact data. Ever.
- We do not list a supplier because they paid. Payment buys placement, never verification.
- We do not take a commission on your order.
