PROCESS FLOW 1 / 4

Step 1: Commercial files → deal parties

Step by step

  1. 1

    Keep commercial files on the order

    Deal chat is for specifications and delivery documents shared with the order parties and authorised administrators. Do not assume it is private from your counterparty.

  2. 2

    Keep financial evidence in its dedicated section

    Company verification and bank-statement uploads are private evidence. Detailed bank transactions are restricted to the supplier and authorised administrators; counterparties receive the rating summary.

  3. 3

    Use private payment support for sensitive queries

    Buyer and supplier support threads are isolated. Send beneficiary clarifications and payment evidence there rather than putting them in a shared commercial conversation.

  4. 4

    Protect credentials and signed links

    Never share login credentials, confirmation codes or bank passwords. Private document download links can expire; reopen the document through the platform instead of distributing the link externally.

Expected outcome

Documents reach the intended audience without unnecessary disclosure.

Important checks

  • Access controls cannot prevent a recipient from reproducing information they are authorised to view.

Questions & answers

Does private mean invisible to staff?

No. Authorised administrators or payment staff can access the evidence required for their responsibilities.

Why did a document link stop working?

Private downloads use expiring signed links. Reopen the document from the relevant platform section.
