Why Group Buy?

Access the same manufacturing economics that large importers enjoy — without needing a large budget.

Lower Unit Prices

When multiple buyers pool their orders, you access volume pricing that was previously only available to large importers. Save 15–40% versus solo ordering.

Shared MOQs

Split minimum order quantities across multiple buyers. Access products from manufacturers with high MOQs without having to commit to the full volume alone.

Vetted Co-Buyers

Every participant in a group buy is a verified Faktorist member. KYC checks and escrow payments ensure all parties fulfil their commitments.

SofiIA Matching

SofiIA automatically groups buyers with compatible needs and connects them to the right manufacturer — you don't have to find co-buyers yourself.

How It Works

01

Browse Open Pools

Find active group buy pools that match your product needs, or request SofiIA to notify you when one opens.

02

Join or Create a Pool

Add your volume to an existing pool, or create a new one and let SofiIA recruit co-buyers who match your specification.

03

Pool Reaches Target

Once the combined volume hits the manufacturer's threshold, the deal activates automatically. You're locked in at the volume price.

04

Manufacture & Ship

The manufacturer produces and ships each buyer's portion separately. Escrow funds are released on delivery confirmation.
