Freight, QC inspections, factory audits, trade consulting, border crossing and warehousing are priced for each order, whatever your plan.
Why don’t you take my card?
Paid plans are activated by our team after your account is approved. We confirm your details, then set up billing with you directly. Until then you can use the free features.
What does the commission apply to?
Commission applies to orders placed and paid through HIVEX. It doesn’t apply to browsing, RFQs or quotes you don’t accept.
Is claiming my factory profile really free?
Yes. Claiming, building your page and starting verification are free, and your first 10 buyer leads are free too.
Can I change plans later?
Yes. Tell us and we’ll move you to another plan from the next billing period.
Are logistics and inspections included?
No. White Lion services are quoted per job so you only pay for what each order needs.
