How to Find Products and Suppliers on TradesFolks

Updated 24 Aug 2026· 5 min read· Buyers & sourcing

Start with marketplace search when you know the product, category or supplier type you need. Use supplier and product information to build a shortlist before sending inquiries.

01

Search effectively

  • Use specific product names instead of very broad keywords.
  • Browse category pages when you need alternatives.
  • Review supplier profiles and product details before contacting a business.
02

Evaluate the supplier

  • Check company/location and verification information shown on the profile.
  • Compare specifications, MOQ, delivery capability and commercial terms.
  • Ask for documents relevant to your product and market where appropriate.
03

Move to an RFQ

  • Post a buying requirement when price, quantity, custom specification or delivery terms need supplier quotation.

Frequently asked questions

What if I cannot find an exact product?
