FAQ

Who is Polymermarket­place designed for?

Polymermarketplace is B2B e-commerce software specially designed for sellers of polyolefin material. It is meant to be used as a complementary sales tool for companies that want to integrate a digital sales strategy.

Polymermarketplace is not a buyer or reseller; our software is intended to facilitate sales transactions.

How much does it cost to use Polymer­marketplace?

We offer our platform on a “pay-per-transaction” basis. That’s right. No fee unless you sell material using our technology.

To add more certainty to your monthly expense, our commission rate is capped to not exceed a certain amount per metric ton sold. The fee is paid by the seller using our platform, not the buyers invited to transact business via the platform. Contact us for more information on pricing and to schedule a free demonstration.
