Before sending payment to a supplier, buyers should complete basic verification steps. This is especially important when working with a new supplier, a new product category or a higher-value order.

Supplier verification does not guarantee that every risk disappears, but it can help identify warning signs before money is committed.

A buyer should understand who they are dealing with, whether the supplier can reasonably produce or source the product, and whether the commercial terms are clear.

What Buyers Should Check

• Company name and business information
• Product category experience
• Factory or trading company status
• Communication quality
• Quotation clarity
• Payment terms
• Photos, videos or documents provided
• Sample availability
• Export readiness
