Factory commercial terms

Membership can start immediately; reduced commission starts after order three.

A factory may activate the standard, monthly, quarterly or annual plan after registration. Once the fixed fee is paid, non-commission benefits such as showroom capacity, verification, the annual website benefit and quote assistance can start; completed orders one through three remain at 5%, and the active plan rate begins with order four.

Submit factory application

Completed orders 1–3

Only buyer-seller orders with confirmed seller receipt and completed fulfillment, without unresolved refunds or disputes, count. Matches and RFQs do not count.

Charging boundaries

  • These charges apply to onboarded factories; buyers do not pay the factory membership fee to browse, submit RFQs or view identified factory matches.
  • A plan only changes commission on future orders and product-showroom capacity; it does not guarantee orders. Buying a plan itself never changes AI scores or directory rank. Onsite verification completed under the same standard is separate evidence that buyers may filter on and that evidence-based directory ordering may use, whether obtained as a plan benefit or as a one-off service.
  • Commission is calculated on the confirmed platform transaction amount; cancellations, refunds and disputes follow final settlement.
  • Standalone websites are delivered on a separate site and are available to every factory at CNY 1,500 / site / year. Each active AI-platform annual membership year includes one same-spec site; additional sites use the standard price.
  • AI quote assistance is included only while a paid annual membership is verified and current. It provides a non-binding range; the factory must independently edit and confirm its formal quote. It never guarantees orders, inquiries, margin, match score, directory ranking or RFQ priority.
  • Reduced commission only applies while the fixed service fee is paid and the plan is active; expired plans return to 5%.
  • While a paid monthly, quarterly or annual plan is active, a factory may request qualifying onsite verification for substantive new equipment or process capabilities, at most once per seven days; no visit is scheduled without a material change.
  • After a paid plan stops, expires or is not renewed, new onsite verification returns to CNY 1,000 per visit; historical verification records remain visible.

Ongoing factory media updates

Factories may upload their own approved media or choose a platform representative for scheduled visits. Media recency can help buyers assess activity, but does not purchase AI ranking.

Factory self-upload

Free

The factory records and uploads authorized equipment, production, quality, packing and shipment media for platform review.

Weekly representative visit

CNY 2,000 / month

In principle, one visit per week during the service term to capture routine, publishable workshop and production media, with basic organization and platform upload.

A routine media visit is not automatically an onsite verification. When new equipment or processes are observed during the same visit, the representative may collect nameplate and site evidence for separate platform review, avoiding a duplicate trip. Professional commercials, complex editing, multilingual copy and unlimited revisions are excluded; confidential, infringing or unsafe content will not be recorded or published.

Product showroom

Product showroom and 3D visualization

Factories may present finished products that are authorized for publication. Every plan receives the same rotation, exploded-view and part-description experience; plans only limit how many products may be published at once.

Free plan

1 product

Publish one representative finished product while validating buyer interest.

Monthly plan

3 products

Present three core product lines with a structural view and part descriptions.

Quarterly / annual plan

5 products

Publish up to five products across representative categories, processes or applications.

Expiry never deletes uploaded factory assets. Public visibility returns to one factory-selected primary product, while the rest remain hidden for later reuse. A 3D model does not replace drawings, samples or manufacturing verification; intellectual-property, confidentiality and publication rights must be confirmed before upload. Buying showroom capacity never raises AI scores, directory ranking or RFQ priority.

Digital presence

Standalone websites: delivered by a separate service site

Standalone website production is a separate business open to every factory, with no AI-platform onboarding requirement. The AI platform only displays eligibility, verifies external links and provides a safe handoff; templates, image uploads and publishing happen on the separate builder site.

Available to every factory

CNY 1,500 / site / year

No AI-platform membership is required. Standard service is billed per site per year and lets the factory choose a template and upload its own images and profile. Renewal keeps the same site online.

Active AI-platform annual member

1 same-spec site / membership year · CNY 0

One site equivalent to the standard paid edition is included in each active membership year, with no additional CNY 1,500 charge. Extra sites remain CNY 1,500 / site / year; renewal continues the original site instead of creating another free site.

Existing-site verification

Free submission

Review the independent domain, HTTPS availability, relationship to the legal entity and primary languages. Public links appear only after platform verification.

After annual membership expires without renewal, the factory may keep the same site for CNY 1,500 / site / year; no replacement site is created. Standard service excludes domain purchase, custom design or functionality, 3D models, ads, SEO, social-media operations and paid third-party services. Website purchase or inclusion never raises AI manufacturing scores, directory rank or RFQ priority.

View benefit / open website builder

Standalone website production is a separate service open to every factory at CNY 1,500 / site / year. Each active AI-platform annual membership year includes one same-spec site at no extra charge. The AI platform only shows eligibility and a safe handoff; editing happens on the builder site.

Onboarding rules

01

Factory name, location, equipment type and capacity must be verifiable.

02

Workshop photos or videos help the platform assess real capability.

03

Approved factories enter the Verified Factories supply network.

04

The factory or its compliant export entity is the goods seller. The platform is not the buyer and provides matching, technology and transaction support only.
