For service providers
Work inside the sourcing projects that need your service.
International sourcing does not stop at finding a factory. Buyers and factories need trusted support across compliance, testing, freight, labelling, inspection, packaging, customs, sustainability and documentation. Viaty works with selected service providers who can support our community throughout the sourcing journey.

Partner questions
Before you apply
Our partner team reviews every application and your KYC documents before approval.
Any service provider supporting international sourcing — testing labs, freight forwarders, inspection companies, customs brokers, compliance consultants, labelling specialists, design studios, ecommerce developers, photography studios, translators, insurers. Applications are reviewed by our partner team before approval.
We surface your business to active buyers and factories at the exact moment they need your service. Buyers placing a brief that requires compliance testing see relevant testing partners; factories preparing to export see labelling and audit partners. That is much more targeted than broad-market advertising.
Commission applies to projects where Viaty introduced you to the buyer or factory. The rate and payment terms are agreed with you when your application is approved. Repeat business from the same client after the initial referral does not carry commission.
Commission is paid only when a referred enquiry converts into paid work. Lead pricing (Featured tier) is a flat fee per qualified enquiry, regardless of conversion. Some partners prefer commission (no fixed cost); others prefer lead pricing (predictable budget per acquired client).
Applications are reviewed once your KYC documents are in. Preferred and Featured applications get a deeper review, and we agree terms with you before you go live.
