C — What payment unlocks

A specific, repeatable set of deliverables.

Activation triggers a hands-on setup. This is what the founding supplier setup actually produces — not a vague listing slot.

Dashboard account setup

Activated suppliers receive their dashboard account configured for their supplier role with the appropriate access scope.

Supplier profile / category setup

Supplier profile, product categories, and catalog placement are organized so the company is set up for sourcing workflow eligibility.

Document organization

Catalogs, MOQ, pricing, lead times, COA / test docs / product specs where available are organized inside the supplier record.

Admin setup support

Admin support during initial setup so suppliers are not left to figure out the workflow on their own.

Sourcing workflow eligibility

Activated suppliers become eligible to participate in sourcing workflows and submit bids on requests that match their category and capability.

D — What happens after payment

A short, predictable activation sequence.

No mystery. After payment is confirmed, setup moves through a defined sequence that activates dashboard access and sourcing workflow eligibility.

Step 5
Sourcing eligibility live

E — Timeline expectations

Setup begins after payment confirmation and admin review.

Exact timing depends on material completeness and supplier responsiveness. Suppliers who send the full onboarding checklist before applying tend to activate faster.

Conservative framing

We do not promise a specific number of days. The platform does not run on artificial deadlines.

Faster with complete materials

If the catalog, pricing/MOQ, documents, and shipping timeline are already organized, setup moves quickly.

Slower without materials

Missing documentation or unclear shipping timelines delay activation. Send the onboarding checklist first.

F — Disclaimer

Activation does not guarantee buyer orders.

Activation provides approved suppliers with platform access, setup, review, and eligibility to participate in sourcing workflows. It does not guarantee buyer orders, buyer selection, purchase volume, or revenue.

Iron Vault Exchange provides workflow infrastructure, supplier review, documentation organization, and controlled marketplace access. Final product admissibility, legal compliance, commercial terms, and regulatory obligations remain the responsibility of participating businesses and their professional advisors.
