Yes, You do. Merkandi offers two types of utilization only:
STANDARD subscription – generally speaking, it is an access to the contact details of the suppliers, without any additional information or features
VIP subscription – access to the contact details of the suppliers, also access to the suppliers’ blacklist, an option of viewing and adding comments on the wholesalers, and finally selling options for registered companies, which will send us documents for verification (VAT certificate/TAX certificate and document of incorporation).
Detailed descriptions of the Merkandi subscription types can be found here.
We do not offer any other ways of accessing Merkandi besides these two types of user’s accounts. Also the subscription time is fixed and lasts for 12 months. You pay once, and Your Merkandi account will remain functional for a one year. Of course, You are able to renew Merkandi subscription during this time, but You will not be able to do it after the expiration date of Your account.
To this end, if You are interested in products listed at Merkandi b2b trade platform, please choose between the STANDARD and VIP subscription, which will last for one year.
