From factory floor to your warehouse — in five bank-protected steps
TradePooling coordinates suppliers, traders, banks, clearing agents and logistics on a single ledger. Your money stays with the bank at every stage until the goods reach you.
Verified suppliers list a container
Audited factories in China, Germany, UAE, USA and beyond publish a container with unit price, minimum reservation, incoterms, HS code and closing date — every listing is KYB-checked before it goes live.
Traders reserve their units
Buy only the units you need — starting from a single carton. Your allocation is locked the moment you reserve, and the container keeps filling with other verified traders until every unit is spoken for.
Container seals — Pooler collects payment
The instant the container is 100% filled, the Pooler notifies every client with the payment details they set up in their dashboard — bank transfer, mobile money, or cash on pickup. Each client pays the Pooler directly using the shared instructions.
Pooler confirms and books production
As payments come in, the Pooler marks each client paid on their dashboard. When everyone has settled, the Pooler releases the order to the factory. TradePooling never touches the money — the Pooler stays in full control.
Ship, clear, and deliver
Track the container from origin port to destination with live milestones. Licensed customs partners handle clearing and duties, and every client sees the same tracker link the Pooler shared with them at sign-up.
You choose how your clients pay you. TradePooling never touches the money.
Every Pooler sets a default payment method — bank transfer, mobile money, or cash on pickup — and can override it per pool. Clients see the instructions on the pool page and their tracker, so payments are direct, transparent, and 100% under your control.
