Product Sourcing

Find the right supplier.
Skip the guesswork.

Sourcing a product takes months of research, negotiations, and dead ends. Portless compresses that into days — vetted suppliers, negotiated pricing, and a warm handoff.

Sourcing is a full-time job. We do it for you.

Most brands spend 3–6 months finding a reliable supplier — and still end up with bad pricing, missed lead times, or quality issues. We've done this thousands of times so you don't have to.

Save months of research

We tap our established supplier network to deliver a qualified shortlist within one week — not months of cold outreach.

Better pricing from day one

Our volume relationships unlock pricing you can't get as a single buyer. We negotiate on your behalf as a standard part of the process.

No surprises at the finish line

Every supplier we recommend has been vetted on lead times, quality, and reliability. We only make introductions when you're ready.

Everything you need to move fast

Supplier research & vetting
We identify and qualify 2–3 options matched to your product specs and budget.
Price negotiation
We negotiate pricing with each supplier to get you the best unit economics from day one.
Full supplier details
MOQ, unit pricing, lead times, certifications, and production capacity — delivered in a clear comparison.
1 revision round
If the first shortlist isn't right, we go back and revise at no extra charge.
Sample coordination
We manage the sample process and can receive samples at our warehouse for quality review. Sample costs are paid by the merchant.
Formal introduction
Once you approve, we make the supplier introduction and hand off everything you need to place your first order.

What we don't do

We're transparent about the scope so there are no surprises.

We don't manage your supplier relationship
Once we make the formal introduction, the ongoing relationship — orders, payments, quality disputes — is between you and the supplier. We hand off cleanly and step back.
We don't cover sample costs
Samples are ordered and paid for by you directly. We coordinate the process, but the cost is yours.
We don't guarantee supplier performance
We vet suppliers rigorously, but we can't guarantee their production quality, lead times, or future behavior after introduction. That due diligence is shared.

Common questions

What product categories do you source?
We source across all major consumer product categories — electronics, apparel, home goods, beauty, health, outdoor, and more. If you sell it, we can likely find a supplier for it.
Do I need to be a Portless fulfillment customer?
Yes, this service is available exclusively to Portless merchants. If you're not yet on Portless, reach out to our sales team.
What if I don't like the supplier options?
Every project includes one free revision round. We'll go back and refine the search based on your feedback.
Can you receive samples at the Portless warehouse?
Yes. When you submit your request, indicate that you'd like to send samples to the warehouse and we'll coordinate receipt and quality inspection.
How is the subscription billed?
Monthly, in advance. Cancel anytime with 30 days notice. Projects in flight at cancellation will be completed.
