Frequently asked questions

Is TradesFolks only for India?

No. TradesFolks is designed for domestic and international B2M sourcing. Marketplace records should preserve the actual country, currency and commercial terms for each transaction.

Do I need an account to browse?

Public marketplace pages may be browsed without signing in, while account-specific sourcing, seller access and commerce actions require the appropriate account.
