Global Sourcing Knowledge for Business Buyers
Independent guides to help you verify suppliers, understand documents, assess risks, and make better purchasing decisions.
Where our guides apply
Shop8 is written for business buyers in any country, buying from suppliers in any country.
We add information about a country only after checking that country's own official sources.
How Shop8 checks facts
- Official and primary sources first, each with the date we checked it.
- Every guide separates what a check can prove from what it cannot.
- We say when we have not been able to test an official tool ourselves.
- We do not recommend, rate or verify suppliers, and no one can pay to change what our guides say.
- Found an error? Send us your evidence and we will check it.
About Shop8
Shop8's aim is a global knowledge base for the whole buying process — from finding and checking suppliers to quotes, quality, compliance and shipping — for buyers and suppliers in any country. We are starting with the checks that matter most before a first payment.
Shop8 guides are general information, not legal, financial or compliance advice, and they are not a guarantee about any supplier or transaction.
