The Dynamic Pricing & Collateral Flow
Learn how our transparent bidding system works from end to end
Place Your Bid
Consumers place bids at their maximum willingness to pay for products — just like a limit order on the stock market.
Each bid requires a 2.9% collateral deposit to ensure authentic demand signals.
Contract-based bidding system
Demand aggregation process
Bids Join Aggregated Pools
All bids for the same product are aggregated into a single order pool.
Minimum order threshold starts at 10 buyers, ensuring economically viable bulk orders.
Supplier Review
Suppliers see real-time aggregated demand with AI-powered margin analysis.
They can approve bulk orders only if economically beneficial, considering order volume and margin.
Analytics-driven decision making
Contract fulfillment process
Order Fulfillment & Settlement
When a supplier accepts the order, all winning bids are processed automatically.
The 2.9% collateral converts to a transaction fee, with buyers paying their bid price.
Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our dynamic bidding marketplace
What happens if a bid is not accepted?
If your bid is not accepted by the supplier, your 2.9% collateral deposit is fully refunded to your original payment method. This typically processes within 3-5 business days.
Can I change or cancel my bid?
You can modify or cancel your bid at any time before the order is accepted by the supplier. Once accepted, all bids are final and will be processed for fulfillment.
How long does it take for orders to be fulfilled?
Fulfillment times vary by product and supplier. Each product listing includes an estimated delivery timeframe. Some suppliers ship within days, while others may take several weeks for made-to-order items.
What's the benefit of bidding versus fixed pricing?
Bidding lets you pay what the product is worth to you, potentially saving 15-25% compared to retail prices. It also reduces waste in the retail system and connects you directly with suppliers.
