Once commercial terms are agreed, Demerch coordinates the remaining sourcing process, including verification, payments, inspection, shipping, logistics, and delivery.
Demerch Source is designed for retailers, wholesalers, distributors, SMEs, entrepreneurs, and businesses looking to source products in bulk for resale or operational use. Businesses that source products can also become sellers on the Demerch Marketplace.

Cross-border payments are orchestrated by our payment platform and processes, supporting payment, FX, settlement, and transaction controls between buyers and manufacturers. Demerch can also apply milestone-based or protected payment structures depending on the transaction.
