Verify suppliers from Alibaba Global Sources AliExpress Made in China

Three steps to safer sourcing

01

Paste the supplier link

Copy any supplier URL from Alibaba, 1688, or Global Sources — the tool handles the rest.

02

Get your risk score in seconds

Green, Yellow, or Red — with a breakdown of 4–5 signals you can actually act on.

03

Source with confidence

Apply the per-item QC method to lock in quality before any money moves.

Built for resellers who got burned — or are scared to start

Automated Supplier Risk Score

Paste a link. Get green, yellow, or red — with every signal explained so you know exactly why.

The Per-Item QC Method

Learn the process that means you approve the actual item before any money moves — not just the profile.

Your Compounding Supplier Intel

Every check sharpens the tool. Your trusted shortlist builds inside the product — permanently.

Paste a link. Get a verdict.

Most resellers don't know what they don't know. The supplier looks legitimate — Gold Supplier badge, 4.8 stars, years on the platform. But you can't see what's behind the curtain: whether they're a real factory, whether they've been sued, whether their "verified" badge means anything.

SourceProof scrapes the public data and gives you a score before you wire money.

No signup required. Instant results.

GREEN

Verified factory, clean SAMR record, strong transaction history. Proceed with standard sample protocol.

YELLOW

Partial verification. Trading company or inconsistent history. Sample required — enhanced payment terms recommended.

RED

Shell entity, recent legal judgments, or fake badges. Find another supplier.

What directories can't tell you

01

No supplier fees

Directories make money from the suppliers they recommend. SourceProof doesn't. We never take placement fees, affiliate cuts, or referral kickbacks from the factories we score. Our verdicts are honest because they're unconflicted.

02

Real-time risk signals

We cross-check business licenses against SAMR, track legal records, verify factory audit reports, and monitor transaction history — then roll it into a single score you can act on in 30 seconds.

03

Member reports sharpen every score

Every member who reports a bad supplier feeds the model. As the member base grows, the scoring gets sharper. Competitors can't replicate this — they don't have our reports.

04

The method, not the list

Lists go stale. The method stays. SourceProof teaches you to verify any supplier on any platform — Alibaba, 1688, Global Sources, or a direct factory referral. You'll know how to protect yourself long after you've forgotten the score.

Two parts. One system.

The Tool

Front-end triage

Before you engage a supplier, SourceProof scores the risk. Green means proceed. Yellow means sample first and tighten payment terms. Red means find another supplier. This is the daily-use hook — paste a link, get a score, make a decision.

Paste-and-decide workflow. Instant verdict, every time.
The Method

Back-end safety net

Even a green-score supplier can ship the wrong goods. The SourceProof curriculum teaches the per-item QC process: how to approve samples, what to photograph, how to read an inspection report, and when to walk away. The tool handles "should I worry?" The method handles "how I'm safe regardless."

Six-track curriculum. Each track builds verification skill for any product, any platform.

What you get

Unlimited supplier scores

Check any Alibaba, 1688, Global Sources, or direct factory link. No per-search fees.

Six-track QC curriculum

From first contact to pre-shipment inspection — the method, taught step by step.

Free daily check — rate-limited

Paste one link free per day. Proof of concept before any paywall.

Community of verified resellers

Share supplier reports, compare notes, build your trusted shortlist.

$29–49 / month

Self-serve. Cancel anytime. No contracts.

The reseller world is full of people who will sell you a list of suppliers, take a commission from those suppliers, and tell you everything is fine.

We're not that.

SourceProof exists because resellers — people who sell on Poshmark, eBay, Mercari, Shopify — deserve the same protection as the big boys. You shouldn't need a sourcing agent in Shenzhen to source safely. You just need to know what questions to ask, what data to check, and what the red flags look like.

You approve the actual goods. Not a catalog photo. Not a stock photo. The actual item you are about to sell. That's the standard. SourceProof is how you hold suppliers to it.

I got scammed by an Alibaba seller last year. Wish I had this.

I didn't even know sourcing agents did QC inspections. Game changer.

Paid $800 to a supplier on 1688. Never received the goods. If I'd had SourceProof first...

The method beats every supplier list out there. Not a list — an actual way to verify.

SourceProof scored a supplier yellow. I asked for a sample — they ghosted me. Saved me $4K.

Questions, answered.

It analyzes signals from your supplier's online presence — registration data, communications patterns, trade history, and red flags in our China-sourcing database. Think of it as a background check, not a legal review.

We teach a method for sourcing genuine, legally-manufactured inventory. We do not help you source counterfeits, replicas, or anything that infringes IP. That's not sourcing — that's liability. Different thing.

Yes. Monthly plans cancel at the end of your billing month. Annual plans refund the unused portion. No gotchas.

A list tells you who someone else vouched for. SourceProof tells you what we can verify — on the exact supplier you're about to wire money to. Lists go stale. Method stays current.

The automated score is instant — paste a URL, get your color in seconds. The human QC method takes longer (that's how QC works), but the score tells you whether to even get that far.
