One fee. On the invoice.No surprises.
FabriMatch charges a flat 10% platform fee on each closed order — shown on the offer before you accept, itemised on every invoice, and refunded in full if the order is cancelled before production starts.
No credit card required. You pay only once you accept a quote.
The order, sectioned — 10% sits on top of the factory price, never inside it.

Don’t take our word for it
Every claim on this page is auditable.
The matching algorithm is published
All 12 feature weights are public. Price is weighted at 5% by design — we match on capability, compliance and track record, not race-to-bottom.
Read the algorithm →Every guarantee has a remedy
Your payment held until your inspection passes, the platform fee waived when a first offer misses the 2-hour window, and a 3-stage dispute path with deadlines. Each one is testable against the platform.

Price the job yourself first.
Both tools run on aggregated closed-order data. They are for budgeting — a binding number only comes from a supplier who has seen your drawing.
Parametric quote
See the price before you sign up.
Adjust parameters and watch the breakdown update. Built from real closed orders on FabriMatch — no black-box markup. Indicative only until a verified manufacturer accepts your RFQ.

Indicative. Real binding quotes come from verified manufacturers after RFQ submission. Every invoice itemises the 10% platform fee.
Materials advisor
Ask before you submit the RFQ.
Free AI advisor for material, process and finish questions. Scoped to manufacturing — we won’t guess prices, recommend specific factories, or give legal/export advice. For a real quote, submit an RFQ.

Answers are indicative, cached for 24h, rate-limited. Not a substitute for a manufacturer’s engineering review.
What the fee buys that other platforms don’t ship
The 10% is not a toll. It is the rail underneath the order.
01
Flat 10% — visible on every invoice
Every quote line-items the 10% platform fee separately, and there is no hidden markup on the manufacturer's price. Instant-quote marketplaces layer a spread you never see; Alibaba hides handling inside FX.
Auditable COGS for your finance team, and no surprise margin at reorder.
02
EUR-native, released on your approval
FabriMatch holds your payment and releases it to the factory only after you approve the inspection. The factory is then paid by SEPA transfer — no card-rail fees and none of the 2–4% FX spread a USD wire costs. To be exact: this is a platform-held payment, not a licensed escrow account, and the order timeline shows its state at every step.
0% FX on EU↔EU legs, an auditable hold, and a dispute window built in.
03
KSeF-ready Polish e-invoicing
FabriMatch is wired to inFakt and the Polish National e-Invoicing System. Invoices are generated, structured and dispatched to KSeF — mandatory for Polish B2B from 2026.
One less vendor in your tax stack, and zero manual KSeF re-entry.
04
DAC7-compliant reporting
EU platforms must report seller data to tax authorities. FabriMatch collects, validates and submits it automatically. US platforms largely do not — their sellers carry the retroactive exposure.
You stay off the audit list without hiring a compliance team.
05
Verified suppliers, not scraped listings
Every supplier clears KYB: company registration, VAT, bank account, certifications and export history. A paid badge on another marketplace is a marketing tier. Ours is a gate — unverified profiles are not listed, not matched and not counted.
No “the factory turned out to be a trading company” surprises.
06
Split refunds and dispute triage
When a shipment is partly defective, a partial release plus proportional commission reversal happens in one atomic step. The dispute engine classifies the issue, estimates remediation and proposes a split.
An 18% reject batch does not cost you 100% of the order value.
07
Production telemetry, not black-box status
Stage-by-stage updates, stage photos, and an on-time record per supplier. Not “shipped” — “stage 3 of 5, heat treatment, photos attached.”
A real ETA for your production plan instead of guesswork.
08
Transparent affiliate revenue share
Refer an EU buyer and earn a flat 10% of FabriMatch's platform fee on every order they place in their first 12 months. Paid in EUR by SEPA. No tier gates, no recruitment quotas.
Consultants and sourcing agencies get a real recurring line of revenue.
