No. If you don’t wish to provide pricing you can have potential buyers request a price for a product/service. This will initiate our product RFQ process.

There are three types of request for quite (RFQ). A product RFQ is where a buyer will ask you for a price of a product or service that you list. You respond on the platform with a price, negotiate and hopefully agree a transaction. Payment is via card using Stripe Connect or the buyer can issue you a purchase order for you to invoice against using your system (if you are on a paid plan).

A closed RFQ is where a buyer invites a number of sellers to provide pricing for a product or service. You can choose to respond or not if you are invited.

An open RFQ is where a buyer asks anyone on the marketplace listing in certain categories to provide a price for a product or service. You can choose to respond or not.
