What is Demerch Source?
Demerch Source is a B2B sourcing platform that helps African businesses find and negotiate with verified manufacturers locally and internationally. Once commercial terms are agreed, Demerch coordinates the remaining sourcing process, including verification, payments, inspection, shipping, logistics, and delivery.
Demerch Source is designed for retailers, wholesalers, distributors, SMEs, entrepreneurs, and businesses looking to source products in bulk for resale or operational use. Businesses that source products can also become sellers on the Demerch Marketplace.
Manufacturers go through a structured verification process that may include company-registration checks, factory information, certifications, export history, product documentation, and, where necessary, physical or third-party factory inspections.
Cross-border payments are orchestrated by our payment platform and processes, supporting payment, FX, settlement, and transaction controls between buyers and manufacturers. Demerch can also apply milestone-based or protected payment structures depending on the transaction.
