Where suppliers list catalogs and resellers request access
Suppliers choose which catalogs to list. Resellers browse participating suppliers, then request the specific catalog they want. The supplier approves or denies each request, and an approved catalog opens in the reseller portal.
Reseller plans start below · Access is per catalog, and always the supplier’s call · Listings show catalog facts, never prices · Already a member? Sign in to the marketplace
One side lists. The other side asks.
Request the catalog, not the supplier
- Sign up for a reseller plan. After checkout we email your sign-in link; access uses a one-time email code.
- Browse participating suppliers. Company profile, catalog title and summary, categories, item count, inventory type and image galleries where supplied.
- Request a specific catalog, with a note. Introduce your business; each request is per catalog.
- The supplier approves or denies. On their own schedule; you track every decision from your marketplace dashboard.
- Approved catalogs appear in the reseller portal. With the products and pricing that catalog delivers, ready for Shopify, downloads or the API.
Opt in one catalog at a time
- From the supplier app, opt a catalog into the marketplace with a listing description. Listing is included with supplier plans.
- Requests arrive under Marketplace › Access Requests with the reseller’s company details and note.
- Approve or deny each one. Approval is per catalog; your prices stay private until you say yes.
- Approved resellers get that catalog only. They never count toward your invited-reseller limit.
- Listings drop off automatically if your subscription lapses, so nothing stale stays on the marketplace.
What resellers see before and after approval
Discovery and access are deliberately separate — members see the listing, only approved resellers see the data.
| Before approval — marketplace listing | After approval — permitted catalog data |
|---|---|
| Company name, description & logo | Assigned product data for the approved catalog |
| Catalog title, summary & brand | Your reseller pricing, with MSRP and MAP where supplied |
| Categories & product count | Inventory, restock & discontinued information where shared |
| Inventory type, dropship & ship-from facts | Excel (.xlsx) & JSON catalog downloads; CSV, Excel & JSON inventory exports |
| Product-image galleries where supplied | API read access where configured |
Discovery does not grant access. Approval is per catalog — never a master key to every supplier catalog — and each catalog’s rules still determine the delivered products and pricing. Marketplace access does not reserve inventory, is not a guaranteed quote, and does not create a purchase order.
“Verified” has a specific definition here
The same one shown inside the marketplace.
Manufacturer-direct
Participating suppliers are paid subscribers on InventaCloud’s manufacturer platform — no aggregators, no scrapers, no reseller-of-reseller chains.
Structured catalog data
Each listed catalog has been imported and mapped to structured fields — SKU, title, pricing roles, images, dimensions — before it reaches you.
Opted-in per catalog
Suppliers choose which catalogs to list. What you see is what they actively want resellers to source — not a forgotten data dump.
Listings stay current
If a manufacturer’s subscription goes inactive, their listings drop off the marketplace automatically — no stale storefronts.
Marketplace verification does not guarantee product quality, fulfillment speed, inventory availability, commercial terms, or future business performance — those remain part of your own supplier relationship.
Categories being onboarded
We are onboarding participating suppliers across these categories. Every live listing shows the catalog’s real details — item count, categories, inventory type and dropship availability — before you request access.
Reseller pricing
Monthly plans sized by how many approved catalogs you keep active at one time. Cancel anytime.
Every plan includes marketplace browsing, per-catalog access requests, and Excel (.xlsx) & JSON downloads of your approved catalogs.
Sending approved catalogs to your Shopify store with the InventaCloud app is free and isn’t part of any plan.

at checkout
What happens next: after checkout we email your sign-in link for marketplace.inventacloud.ai, where you browse participating suppliers and send your first catalog request.
An active catalog is any supplier-approved catalog you currently hold access to. Suppliers review each request and can remove a grant; a removed grant stops counting toward your plan.
Straight answers on requests, approvals and formats
How do marketplace catalog requests work?
Requests are per catalog: pick the specific catalog you want, add an optional note about your business, and submit. The manufacturer reviews and approves or denies that request — approval grants access to that catalog only.
What can I see before a manufacturer approves access?
Listing information: company profile, catalog title and summary, brand, categories, item count, inventory type, dropship availability, and product-image galleries where supplied. Reseller pricing and full product data stay private until approval.
What catalog formats can I download after approval?
Catalog downloads are Excel (.xlsx) and JSON. Inventory exports separately as CSV, Excel, or JSON. API read access is available where configured for the account and catalog.
Does marketplace access publish products to my online store?
No. You receive clean catalog data in formats store platforms and tools can import — Excel and JSON — but importing into your store, and how you use the data downstream, is your workflow.
How long does approval take?
Approval timing is determined by each manufacturer — there's no fixed turnaround. Track every request and decision from your marketplace dashboard, and use the request thread to introduce your business or follow up.
What does manufacturer verification mean?
Participating manufacturers are paid subscribers on InventaCloud's manufacturer platform, their catalogs are imported as structured data, each listing is opted in per catalog, and listings drop off automatically if a subscription lapses. Verification doesn't guarantee product quality, fulfillment speed, inventory availability, or commercial terms.
Does the marketplace process orders or payments?
No — the marketplace is discovery and access. There's no cart, checkout, or payment processing between you and suppliers. Where a manufacturer enables purchase orders, ordering happens in the reseller portal after approval.
What happens if a catalog request is denied?
A denied request doesn't create access to that catalog. You can continue browsing and requesting other participating catalogs within your plan — and a denial isn't necessarily forever; manufacturers can approve a previously denied request later.
Does a reseller plan give me access to every catalog?
No. A subscription lets you browse and request — each manufacturer decides each catalog request individually. Your plan sets how many approved catalogs you can keep active at one time.
How do manufacturers list catalogs?
From the InventaCloud vendor dashboard: set up your marketplace storefront, choose which catalogs to list, and review incoming access requests — approving or denying each one per catalog. Listing is included with vendor plans.
Pick a plan, browse, and send your first request
Every request is per catalog, every approval is the supplier’s decision, and an approved catalog opens in the reseller portal with its products and prices.
