How to create an AdeptLink supplier account
Creating an AdeptLink supplier account takes 3 business days end-to-end. Visit /register, pick Supplier, complete the four-step KYC (legal entity, beneficial owner, banking, trade references), then list at least one product. The supplier console unlocks browsing immediately and goes live for buyers as soon as compliance approves the company.
Key facts
- Median time from registration to first listing live: 3 business days.
- Suppliers pay 0% setup fee and a 4-7% commission on completed orders depending on category.
- Verified suppliers receive 4.2x more RFQs in their first 90 days than unverified marketplaces.
Which documents are required for supplier KYC?
Five documents: certificate of incorporation, business license, beneficial-owner government ID, two trade references (existing buyers, banks, or chambers of commerce), and a bank statement under 90 days old that matches your company name.
Manufacturers should also upload a factory address proof (utility bill, lease, or land-use certificate) — this unlocks the Verified Manufacturer badge that increases RFQ conversion by 38% according to AdeptLink's 2025 supplier study.
What does the supplier dashboard let me do?
Once KYC clears, the supplier console at /supplier exposes seven main areas: Products, Inventory, Warehouses, RFQs, Quotes, Orders, and Shipments. Each comes with a guided tour the first time you open it.
You can list up to 500 products on the free tier. Beyond 500, the Pro plan ($199/month) lifts the cap to unlimited and adds priority placement in marketplace search.
How fast can I start receiving RFQs?
RFQs start arriving within 48 hours of going live, provided you have at least 5 published products with images, MOQ, and a price tier. Suppliers with complete profiles (logo, banner, certifications, factory photos) receive 3x more RFQs than barebones profiles.
