Suppliers may be verified as part of platform usage, particularly via external payment and identity service providers such as Stripe Connect.

This verification serves to confirm identity and payment capability but does not constitute an assessment of technical capability, quality, or reliability.

• Considering ratings and previous user experiences
• Conducting your own checks or qualifications if necessary

Important to know: price4parts does not carry out comprehensive technical or qualitative verification of suppliers. The selection and evaluation of a business partner is the responsibility of the respective user.

price4parts is not a standard software tool but a specialized B2B marketplace for industrial procurement and manufacturing. The focus is on qualified visibility, structured processes, and sustainable business development.

A key factor is the nature of industrial procurement: procurement cycles are often multi-stage and extend over a longer period. Short-term test models would lead to suppliers using the platform without realistically having the opportunity to achieve relevant projects or business development.

To ensure high quality and commitment on the platform, we therefore rely on longer-term models. This contributes to:

For buyers, there are no monthly costs.

• Building a professional and reliable marketplace
• Attracting suppliers with serious interest and long-term perspective
• Ensuring the quality of inquiries and contacts on the platform
• Enabling targeted visibility instead of short-term, non-binding usage
