TradeKey is the largest B2B platform in the Middle East, with a database of more than nine million registered users. It is the world's leading and fastest growing online market platform. How much does the TradeKey platform cost?

1. Is TradeKey free?

Tradekey is free to open a store permanently. You can register for free membership of Tradekey, but free members can only publish 10 products and 20 Sell offers (quotation information), and each product information can only upload one product picture.

2. What does Tradekey sell?

1. Products that are inconvenient to transport. For example, large office furniture and large sewage treatment equipment are very large in size, and the freight is often much more expensive than the product itself. In addition, the procedures are usually very complicated, which brings great trouble to foreign trade business.

2. Products with fierce competition. As a new entrant, if you choose highly competitive products, you will have no advantages in terms of supply chain, sales team or service team, and the possibility of success is almost zero.

3. Products prohibited from export. It is recommended to search "prohibited export goods list" on Google to see if this product is on the list of prohibited export goods of the Ministry of Commerce or the Customs.

4. Products that infringe intellectual property rights. When doing foreign trade, you must pay enough attention to intellectual property rights. It is important to note that it is not counterfeit and fake products that infringe intellectual property rights. When choosing products, you must find out whether the target product has the risk of infringing intellectual property rights. Otherwise, you will be sued and fined before making any money, which will not be worth the loss.

5. Products that are not suitable for online promotion. There are countless sub-industries and products in foreign trade B2B, but not all products are suitable for online sales. For example, in the foreign trade clothing industry, the target customer group of this industry is more inclined to look for suppliers at exhibitions rather than online, but this is not absolute.

6. Unpopular products without search bars. Unpopular products mean a small market, small demand, and even unclear target customers, so it is difficult to get orders and naturally make no money.

In general, the TradeKey platform has no fees, merchants can join for free, and there is no threshold for opening a store. However, free membership has fewer benefits, and at least Silver Key Membership and Gold Key Membership must be opened.
