Get on the network. By invitation.
Supplier membership on Buyer24 is referral-only: a buyer on the network adds you as their supplier, and that's your way in. It's what makes the network vetted — and your seat on it worth something.
Why invitation-only?
Open marketplaces fill up with directory spam, and buyers stop trusting them. On Buyer24, every supplier is on the network because a real buyer chose to work with them — that referral is the vetting. Buyers get a supplier base they can trust; you get a membership that actually signals credibility.
How to join
Three steps — and the first one isn't yours.
A buyer adds you
A buyer on the network adds your company as one of their suppliers — or simply sends you an RFQ through Buyer24. That referral is your invitation; there is no open signup.
You receive a real RFQ by email
Nothing changes about how you work. The RFQ lands in your inbox like any other customer email — reply with your quote as you normally would. No software to install, nothing to learn.
Claim your supplier portal
Every RFQ email includes a personal portal link. Claim it in one click to unlock your seat on the network — your RFQ history, open requests, and buyer conversations in one place.
Already quoting for a Buyer24 buyer? You're invited — open any RFQ email from them and follow the portal link.
What membership gets you
Visibility into live purchasing decisions
See RFQs the moment they're created — not after the PO is signed. Know exactly what your buyers need, when they need it.
Your quote, in the buyer's format
AI translates your quote into the buyer's comparison view automatically. You're never disqualified on formatting or a missed attachment.
Respond straight from email
No portal logins required, no rekeying line items. Reply to the RFQ email and the network does the rest.
A vetted seat, free of charge
Because membership is referral-only, being on the network signals that real buyers chose to work with you. Joining and quoting are free.
Supplier FAQ
Can I sign up as a supplier without a buyer referral?
No. Supplier membership is exclusively by buyer referral — a buyer on the network must add your company as their supplier first. This is what keeps the network vetted: every supplier is here because a real buyer chose to work with them.
Does joining cost anything?
No. Receiving RFQs, quoting, and claiming your supplier portal are free for suppliers.
Do I need to install or learn any software?
No. RFQs arrive by email and you can reply by email. The supplier portal is optional — claim it when you want a single view of your open requests and conversation history.
A buyer of mine isn't on Buyer24 yet. How do I get in?
Point them at buyer24.ai — buyers can join free and add you as a supplier in minutes. The moment they send you an RFQ through the network, your invitation is live.
