Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about sourcing on Faktorist

Is it free to use Faktorist?

Yes! Buyers can search suppliers, submit RFQs, join group buys, post tenders, and access the logistics hub completely free. Suppliers can claim their profile and receive basic RFQs for free, with premium subscription plans for advanced features.

How are suppliers verified?

We verify suppliers using business registration documents, trade references, and our proprietary verification process. Verified suppliers display a blue checkmark badge and have documented transaction history from $24B+ in trade data.

What is the Tender Board and how does it work?

The Tender Board lets buyers post detailed procurement tenders with specifications, quantities, and deadlines. Suppliers submit sealed bids that remain hidden until the deadline, ensuring a fair, competitive process. Buyers then award the contract to their preferred supplier.

What is Group Buying and who is it for?

Group Buying lets multiple SMB buyers pool their orders together to hit a supplier's minimum order quantity (MOQ). Once the pool threshold is met, all participants access the bulk pricing tier. It's ideal for smaller buyers who want the same pricing as large importers.

How does the Logistics Hub work?

The Logistics Hub is a verified freight forwarder directory filtered by trade lane (e.g. UA→DE, UA→TR), transport mode (road, sea, air, rail), and product category. Contact logistics partners directly — Faktorist charges zero commission on logistics arrangements.

What products can I source from Ukraine?

Ukraine is a major exporter of agricultural products (grains, sunflower oil, honey), steel and metals, machinery, food & beverages, textiles, chemicals, and wood products. Browse our 246,000+ products across 10 categories to explore.

Is my payment protected?

We offer escrow services, Letter of Credit facilitation, and trade finance options through our banking partners. Our FTR blockchain wallet provides additional transparency and security for all transactions.

What is the FTR token?

FTR (Faktorist Token) is our platform utility token on the blockchain. You earn FTR by completing your profile, submitting RFQs, and transacting on the platform. Stake FTR to unlock premium subscription tiers and use it to pay for platform services at a discount.
