The Path to a Secure Transaction
How to use our Trade Assurance features for a successful business partnership.
Identify Verified Suppliers
Search for products and filter by 'Verified' or 'Gold' status. These suppliers have undergone additional background and facility checks.
Negotiate on Platform
Discuss all requirements (color, material, packaging) via PQDeals messaging. Never agree to important terms via WhatsApp or personal email.
Formalize the Order Request
Draft an Order Request with clear milestones (e.g., 30% deposit, 70% after inspection). Logging these terms is your primary protection.
Confirm & Inspect
Once production is complete, use a third-party inspector to verify the cargo. Only settle the final balance once the inspection report is approved.
