Success Commission Structure
Our commission is calculated based on the total transaction value. The more you buy, the lower the percentage.
| Transaction Value | Commission Rate | Example Commission |
|---|---|---|
| $1,000 - $10,000 | 8% | $5,000 order = $400 |
| $10,000 - $50,000 | 6% | $25,000 order = $1,500 |
| $50,000 - $200,000 | 5% | $100,000 order = $5,000 |
| $200,000+ | 4% | $300,000 order = $12,000 |
Upfront fee is credited: Your initial commitment fee ($199/$299/$499) is fully deducted from the final commission payment.
Lower rates for larger orders: The commission percentage decreases as your order value increases, rewarding bigger transactions.
Premium tier discount: Premium Sourcing customers receive an additional 0.5% reduction on all commission rates.
Real Example
You choose Standard Sourcing ($299) and place a $30,000 order through a supplier we connected you with.
How Payment Works
Pay Commitment Fee
Choose your tier and pay the upfront commitment fee to start your sourcing project.
We Find Suppliers
Our team works to find and vet the perfect suppliers for your needs. No additional charges during this phase.
Pay Commission on Success
Only when you complete a transaction, pay the commission (minus your upfront fee). No deal = no commission.
Important: The commitment fee is non-refundable and covers our expert sourcing services, including supplier research, vetting, and initial matchmaking. This fee demonstrates your serious commitment and is fully credited toward your success commission when a transaction completes.
Note: Commission rates apply to the first transaction only. For ongoing relationships and repeat orders with the same supplier, we can negotiate custom rates or transition to a retainer model.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our sourcing service
?Is the upfront commitment fee refundable?
No, the upfront fee ($199/$299/$499) is non-refundable. This fee covers the real costs of our expert sourcing work including supplier research, vetting, background checks, and initial outreach. However, this fee is fully credited toward your success commission when you complete a transaction. Think of it as a deposit that ensures both parties are serious about the engagement.
?What if you don't find a suitable supplier for my needs?
While the upfront fee is non-refundable due to the work involved, we're committed to finding you quality matches. If we can't find suitable suppliers within 30 days, we'll: (1) Extend the search at no additional cost, (2) Provide a detailed report on why matches were challenging, (3) Offer alternative solutions or recommendations. Our 96% success rate means this rarely happens, but we stand behind our service.
?How long does the sourcing process take?
On average, we present initial supplier matches within 7-14 days. Complex or specialized requests may take 3-4 weeks. The timeline depends on your specific requirements, industry, and location preferences. We'll provide you with a realistic timeline during our initial consultation.
?What industries and products do you source?
We source across virtually all industries including: Electronics & Components, Industrial Equipment, Raw Materials, Textiles & Apparel, Construction Materials, Food & Beverages, Consumer Products, and Custom Manufacturing. If you have a specialized need, contact us to discuss feasibility.
?How does the commission work exactly?
The commission is only charged when you successfully complete a transaction with a supplier we connected you with. Rates range from 4-8% depending on order value (see our commission table). Your upfront fee is deducted from the final commission. For example: $30,000 order × 6% = $1,800 commission - $299 upfront fee = $1,501 due on completion.
?Can I negotiate the commission rate?
Our standard rates are transparent and competitive. However, for Premium tier clients ($499 upfront) or enterprise partnerships with large ongoing volumes, we offer custom commission structures and can discuss retainer models. Contact us to explore options for your specific situation.
?What if I want to work with the same supplier for repeat orders?
Great question! Our commission applies to the first transaction only. After that, you have a direct relationship with the supplier. For ongoing partnerships, we can discuss transitioning to a retainer model where we provide continued support and relationship management.
?Do you verify all suppliers before presenting them?
Yes, absolutely. Every supplier goes through our multi-step verification process including: business registration verification, production capacity assessment, quality certifications review, reference checks with past clients, and financial stability checks. We only present suppliers that meet our quality standards.
?What happens after I choose a supplier?
We continue supporting you through: negotiation assistance, contract review and templates, sample coordination, quality control checklists, shipment tracking support, and dispute resolution if needed. You're not alone after the match - we ensure a successful outcome.
?Can I contact the suppliers directly?
Yes! Once we present matches and you select a supplier, you communicate directly with them (with our support). We facilitate the introduction but encourage direct communication for faster negotiations. We remain available to help throughout the process.
?What payment methods do you accept?
We accept: Bank transfers, Mobile Money (MTN, Vodafone Cash, AirtelTigo), Credit/Debit cards, and PayPal. The upfront commitment fee must be paid before we begin work. The success commission is due within 7 days of transaction completion.
?Do you help with international shipping and logistics?
While we don't directly handle shipping, we can connect you with reliable logistics partners and freight forwarders. Premium tier clients receive more hands-on logistics support including quote comparisons and shipping coordination assistance.
