Every supplier passes a 7-point audit before they can list a single product — business registration, samples, banking, references and a bilingual interview. Buyers see the badge, suppliers earn the trust.
We do it once, properly, on day one — and re-check it every 12 months. So buyers can spend their time choosing products, not verifying suppliers.
Fraudsters and shell companies don't get past step 1. Every signature, photo and reference is verified.
Verified suppliers convert 3.4× better than unverified marketplaces. The badge earns more orders.
Sample inspection means what's listed is what ships. Disputes are 6× rarer on BestDealz vs other marketplaces.
From application to live store — typically 3 to 7 business days, fully bilingual.
You complete the supplier application form: company name, contact details, country, product categories, monthly capacity and a short pitch. No documents required yet.
Our onboarding team emails you a document request portal. Upload business registration, ID/passport of directors, proof of address, and recent banking confirmation. All transmitted over encrypted HTTPS.
We run automated checks against CIPC (SA), AIC (China) or your country's equivalent registry. We also check sanctions lists (OFAC, UN, FATF), AML watchlists, and verify VAT numbers where applicable.
You submit a short video or photo set showing the working facility: production floor (for factories), warehouse with stock (for SA suppliers), staff at work, signage and product samples. Geotagged where possible.
You provide 2 customer references — we call/email them and ask 4 questions about your reliability. Optionally, we may request a physical product sample (cost reimbursed if you ship it back) to inspect quality first-hand.
1-hour video call with our supplier success team. Mandarin or English depending on your preference. We discuss pricing, MOQ, lead time, payment flow, returns process and account-manager touchpoints. You also get a walk-through of the supplier portal.
You complete payout banking setup (tested with a small R 1 micro-deposit) and sign the supplier agreement digitally. Once countersigned by BestDealz, your store goes live and your first listings are published.
Every 12 months, every supplier re-uploads core docs and answers a short questionnaire. We also continuously monitor dispute rates, on-time delivery and rating. Drop below our quality bar and your verified badge is removed — protecting buyers and rewarding suppliers who consistently deliver.
Free, bilingual, 3–7 day onboarding. Reply to questions in under 4 hours during the process.
