All you need to do is get started!

Adding sufficient details about your company and products and services you offer are crucial to be considered a trustworthy and reputed seller.
Your profile is divided into two sections:
1. Company Details
2. Product Details

Filling up the different fields in each of these sections gives you points which help determine your ranking on the platform. As such, we urge all sellers to fill in their profile completely and correctly.


Listing Products/Services:

Sellers can add unlimited products and services to their e-Store. Adding products & services can be done by any individual due to simple e-Store management module. If required online assistance shall be provided.


e-Store Activation: (VIEW DEMO eStore)

Buyers Enquiries:

After activation of e-Store, you will be considered a ‘Seller’ by the platform.

Buyers post their requirements which are sent to Sellers’ dashboard in the form of Direct and Indirect ‘Leads’.

Registered Paid sellers get “Direct Leads” without any charges. Its compulsory to answer all “Direct Leads” without any delay. If “Direct leads” are not answered by seller before expiry then same shall be converted “Indirect Leads” and floated to other sellers.

Sellers can go through the requirements and purchase the ‘Verified Leads’ they find relevant. The buyer’s details are shared with the seller only after the purchase of the Leads, ensuring only eager and active sellers meet the buyers.

Sellers can mark leads as irrelevant and not interested. It’s important and necessary for sellers to respond to all LEADS received on esourcing.in.

The Seller and the Buyer can use the Discussion Section of the platform or any other means of communication they agree upon to interact and start their transaction.


Ranking and Promotion:

eSourcing.in does NOT promote sellers on the basis of type of membership or partake in any kind of paid promotion.

Every seller’s rank is determined by an algorithm based on Sellers’ Response Rate, Profile Score and Rating which are explained as under.

  • Response Rate:

    Seller’s response rate is determined by his/her purchase frequency of verified leads, usage of esourcing.in app & web, use of discussion platform, recency of visit and various other parameters. Sellers with higher response rate shall be ranked higher in search results and given a priority over non-active sellers.

  • Profile Score:

    Completing the profile is important to gain trustworthiness on the platform and eSourcing rewards detailed information about the company and product by awarding the profile a score. Company Profile and Product descriptions together make up the Profile Score of a seller.
