Founding Supplier Activation — $500
For approved peptide suppliers who have passed review and are ready to activate dashboard setup, supplier profile, document organization, category placement, and RFQ workflow eligibility. Application and review are free — payment is only requested after approval, via official invoice.
A paid supplier review, setup, and onboarding package.
The fee compensates the work that prepares an approved supplier to participate in sourcing workflows — review, setup, document organization, and admin support.
Onboarding is real work, not a passive listing.
The fee funds hands-on activation work and keeps supplier records complete, comparable, and buyer-ready. It compensates application review, document organization, category and profile setup, compliance screening, and admin support during initial setup.
Application and review come first. Payment only after approval.
Iron Vault Exchange does not ask suppliers to pay before review. The setup payment is requested only after a supplier has been reviewed and approved.

OpenFounding supplier activation — common questions
Answers to the questions cold suppliers and their managers actually ask before applying.
What does Founding Supplier Access cover?
It covers supplier application review, dashboard account setup, product/category placement, document upload organization, catalog/MOQ/lead-time organization, COA/test document organization where available, bilingual support where relevant, admin support during initial setup, and eligibility to participate in sourcing workflows after approval.
Is this a listing fee?
No. It is a paid supplier review, setup, and onboarding package. Iron Vault Exchange is not a public directory and does not sell listings. Approved suppliers participate in reviewed sourcing workflows, not a public marketplace.
Why pay before any buyer orders?
Onboarding fees pay for the review and setup work that prepares a supplier to participate in sourcing workflows. They do not buy buyer orders. No serious B2B platform guarantees orders, and Iron Vault Exchange does not make that claim.
Why is there a fee?
The fee funds hands-on activation work and keeps supplier records complete, comparable, and buyer-ready. It compensates application review, document organization, category and profile setup, compliance screening, and admin support during initial setup. The supplier application and review are free; payment is only requested after approval.
What happens if Iron Vault Exchange does not complete the activation work on time?
If Iron Vault Exchange does not deliver the named activation setup work within the agreed service window after receiving complete supplier materials, the supplier may request a completion plan or refund review. This does not guarantee buyer orders or commercial outcomes.
Does activation guarantee buyer orders?
No. Activation provides approved suppliers with platform access, setup, review, and eligibility to participate in sourcing workflows. Iron Vault Exchange does not guarantee buyer orders, buyer selection, purchase volume, or revenue.
What happens if my supplier application is not approved?
No founding supplier setup payment is requested before approval. If an application is declined, the supplier is not charged. Suppliers may be asked to provide more documentation before a final decision.
Can my manager review this before we proceed?
Yes. The supplier commercial memo is a one-page summary written specifically for managers and decision-makers who need to approve onboarding spend. It covers deliverables, risk controls, ROI framing, and an approval checklist.
What documents do we need to send?
Company information, catalog, wholesale pricing/MOQ, lead times, COA/test documents/product specs where available, and U.S./international shipping timeline. The supplier onboarding checklist lists every item before you apply.
Iron Vault Exchange provides workflow infrastructure, supplier review, documentation organization, and controlled marketplace access.
