Frequently Asked Questions

How can SourcingGPT help me find better suppliers? (Electronics & Accessories)
SourcingGPT helps Shopify and Amazon sellers by automating supplier discovery, quality checks, and price comparison specifically within the Electronics & Accessories category. It removes guesswork by analyzing supplier history, product specs, compliance data, and landed cost factors so you can focus on marketing and scaling your store while the agent handles the operational sourcing workload.
What is SourcingGPT—in plain words?
A sourcing co-pilot that turns what you want to buy into professional supplier outreach and then helps you handle the replies—organized, fast, and totally under your control.
Is this for me if I'm an Amazon seller / importer / buyer / designer / supply-chain pro?
Yes. If you contact factories, compare quotes, request samples, or manage timelines, SourcingGPT shortens the work—whether you’re new or experienced.
How is this different from using ChatGPT?
ChatGPT can write text; SourcingGPT is built for buying. It helps you ask for the right details, keeps attachments and terms straight, organizes replies, and highlights price/lead-time differences so you can move faster with fewer mistakes.
Why not just use Alibaba or another directory?
Directories help you find suppliers; they don’t manage the back-and-forth. SourcingGPT helps you send clearer requests, keeps every reply in one place, and suggests next steps. You can still use your favorite directories—this handles the workflow around them.
Will you email suppliers without my approval?
No. We prepare drafts; nothing is sent until you approve.
Whose name are messages sent under? Can I use an assistant persona?
Your choice. Messages send under your own name, or you can create a named AI assistant identity for outreach. Either way, you approve every send.
If I add my own suppliers, who sees them?
Your suppliers stay within your account, and you own the data. We don’t pool your contacts with other customers, and we don’t contact them. You can export or delete them anytime.
Do you take commissions or mark up pricing?
No commissions. No middleman. We give you full factory information from the beginning so you can make direct, informed decisions.
Are your factories "better" than what I can find myself?
We maintain a curated database and actively remove low-quality entries and dead links, then surface responsiveness and useful context. You can use ours, yours, or both—no lock-ins, no hidden names.
Will my messages sound robotic?
No. Drafts are written to sound human and concise. You can edit tone and details before sending, and messages go out under your chosen identity.
Do you spam suppliers?
No. You choose who to contact. We focus on a small, high-quality set rather than blasting dozens of factories.
Is my product info and IP safe?
Yes. Projects are private to your account. You decide what to share and with whom. You can attach your NDA or supplier terms when you’re ready.
Can it handle packaging files, tech packs, and compliance docs?
Yes. Attach them and we’ll include the right “see attached” notes in your message so suppliers know exactly what to quote.
What happens after I send?
Replies land in your project inbox. We pull out prices and lead times, flag differences from what you asked (e.g., size/material/terms), and suggest the next action—clarify, request samples, or negotiate. You approve and send.
Does this replace my sourcing agent or team?
It’s a co-pilot. It helps you and your team move faster and make fewer mistakes; you still make the calls.
How much time does this actually save?
It saves hours, days, and often weeks of back-and-forth—getting specs straight, collecting missing details, requesting samples, and aligning terms. We aim to eliminate that headache.
What about shipping terms like FOB vs DDP?
We default to FOB and can request DDP when you need door delivery—asking for the destination details so suppliers can quote correctly.
What does the trial look like?
A 7-day free trial. Cancel any time before day 7 to avoid charges. Solo and team plans are available.
Can I export or delete my data?
Yes. Your projects, messages, and supplier list are your assets. Export anytime; delete if you leave.
