New buyer guide
How sourcing works on TwoDock — a quotation-first marketplace. No cart, no instant checkout: you negotiate, then you commit.
Find products or post an RFQ
Search products and manufacturers, or post a Request for Quotation describing exactly what you need. Suppliers respond with quotes you can compare side by side.
Send an inquiry and discuss
Message the supplier to clarify specifications, customization, packaging and delivery. Everything you agree here becomes the basis of the formal quotation.
Receive a formal quotation
The supplier issues a quotation with unit price, quantity, Incoterm, lead time, payment terms and validity. Ask for changes if anything is off — revised quotations supersede earlier ones.
Accept and place a protected order
Accepting a quotation creates a protected order. Protection is free and automatic on every order placed and paid through the platform (demo).
Pay securely
Pay through the platform so your payment is held and only released to the supplier in line with the agreed terms. Payments in this demo are simulated.
Receive, inspect, confirm
Track shipment milestones on the order page. If anything is wrong, talk to the supplier first — then open a dispute within the claim window and our team steps in.
New buyer guide
To open a dispute you need an order: sign in, go to Orders, open the order and choose “Open dispute”.
