Seller workflow

How sellers receive matched enquiries and submit quotes.

Seller accounts publish product capabilities, receive buyer enquiries matched by CAS number, and quote from the Seller workspace within a 48-hour window.

Back to How It Works
48 hours

Quote window

Each assigned enquiry stays live for seller quoting for 48 hours.

CAS matched

Relevant enquiries

Enquiries are routed from seller product capability mappings by CAS number.

Buyer access

Sellers can also buy

Seller accounts also receive Buyer access for sourcing requirements.

Step by step

Seller journey

This is the seller-side flow from signup to quote submission and shortlisting.

1

Create a seller account

Choose Seller during signup. Seller accounts are $99/year, and EARLY99 can be used for free early access.

  • Seller signup also creates buyer access.
  • Use coupon EARLY99 to discount the full $99 seller amount.
  • Seller-only selling features require Seller workspace access.
2

Complete seller profile

Maintain a clear company profile so buyers can evaluate your business when reviewing seller options.

  • Keep company name, country, city and business type updated.
  • Verification appears as a green Verified Supplier stamp on public seller profile pages.
  • A stronger profile improves buyer confidence before they select sellers.
3

Add product capabilities

Seller matching depends on product capability rows and CAS number mapping.

  • Add or upload products from Seller workspace.
  • Include CAS number, product name, purity, grade, pack size and lead time when available.
  • Only active and approved mappings are used for public matching.
4

Receive matched enquiries

When a buyer selects your company for a CAS-matched product, the enquiry is assigned to your seller account.

  • Notifications are queued in the mail spool for stable delivery.
  • The enquiry appears under Buyer Enquiries in your Seller workspace.
  • Only enquiries matching your uploaded CAS capability should appear.
5

Review the buyer requirement

Open the assigned enquiry and read the product, CAS number, required quantity, unit, buyer country and notes.

  • Buyer identity remains controlled until shortlisting.
  • Use the notes to understand purity, pack size, delivery and documentation needs.
  • If the requirement is not a fit, do not submit a low-quality quote.
6

Quote within 48 hours

Submit your quote before the quote window closes. The dashboard timer shows how much time remains.

  • Enter quote price and currency.
  • Select stock availability such as Available, Limited Stock, On Request or Custom synthesis.
  • Add seller remarks for pack size, lead time, documentation, taxes, freight assumptions or payment terms.
7

Revise before deadline

You can update your quote while the enquiry remains open. Every saved update is logged in quote history.

  • Use revisions for corrected price, availability or seller remarks.
  • The latest quote is shown to the buyer for comparison.
  • Quote changes should be specific and commercially clear.
8

Track submitted and shortlisted quotes

Submitted Quotes shows all quotes from your seller account. If the buyer shortlists you, the status updates and buyer details can be shown according to the workflow.

  • Shortlisted means the buyer selected your offer for further coordination.
  • Closed means the enquiry is no longer open for new quote activity.
  • Seller dashboard KPIs summarize live enquiries, quotes, shortlisted rows and closed links.

Seller quoting checklist

Check CAS before quoting

Make sure the requested CAS number matches the material you can supply.

Quote complete commercial terms

Price alone is not enough. Include currency, availability, pack size, lead time and remarks.

Respond before the timer closes

The quote window is 48 hours. Late quotes are not part of the live enquiry workflow.

Keep product mappings current

Accurate CAS mappings improve the quality of enquiries assigned to your seller account.
