What is GTE?

Started in 2018...

... by Thomas Mulder from his bedroom in the Netherlands. A young man with a dream to build an ecommerce company with a purpose. Starting from scratch, it was not until the next year when the first successes started to appear.

The first shop...

... was made in the founders home country, the Netherlands. What started as a niche outdoor shop, quickly turned into a marketplace with all kinds of products. From there, more and more shops were made.

Rapid growth...

... started in 2023, when the idea was born to try to turn GTE into the worlds biggest ecommerce company. The team grew from just a few people to over 40 people from all over the world by the end of the 2023.

Global Trade Engine...

... is what GTE stands for. We are building a machine to sell the best products to anyone, anywhere. Since 2022 sales doubled every year and by now we expanded to over 20 worldwide brands and more are on the way!

The future...

... at GTE looks bright. Our vision is that we will become the biggest ecommerce company worldwide. We are connecting the world by offering the best products directly from where they're made, so that it is cheaper for the customer and better for the world.

Frequently asked questions

What types of suppliers is GTE looking for?

GTE welcomes suppliers with proven manufacturing or sourcing capabilities, a track record of quality production, and ideally some experience or familiarity with cross-border e-commerce. We are particularly interested in:

• Manufacturers with OEM/ODM experience producing for international brands

• Existing cross-border e-commerce sellers on Amazon, eBay, AliExpress, or similar platforms looking for additional sales channels

• Vertically integrated factories with design and production capabilities

There are no restrictions on product category -- GTE accepts products across all categories, including items that may not be eligible for listing on other platforms (except for prohibited items such as drones, firearms or peirishable products, more details please refer to company website or inquire your account manager). If a product has been rejected elsewhere, GTE may be the right home for it.

Does GTE require pre-stocking inventory?

No. GTE operates a true VMI dropship model. Suppliers ship products to GTE's domestic warehouse only after an order is confirmed -- there is no requirement to pre-stock inventory at GTE's facilities. This eliminates the capital burden of holding unsold inventory and means suppliers only produce or source what has already been sold.

Who handles international logistics and customs?

GTE handles all logistics from the moment your shipment arrives at our domestic warehouse. This includes international shipping, destination-country customs clearance, and last-mile delivery to the end customer. You are only responsible for shipping the order to GTE's designated warehouse -- nothing more.

When do I get paid?

Payment is initiated as soon as your shipment is received and confirmed at GTE's domestic warehouse (The processing time varies depending on the ratings, please refer to section 5 for more details). There is no waiting period tied to international logistics timelines or final customer delivery. GTE's payment trigger is one of the fastest in the industry.

Can I set my own prices?

Unlike most cross-border platforms that operate on a commission or marketplace fee basis — where the supplier sets a retail price and the platform takes a percentage cut — GTE settles with suppliers directly at the agreed supply price. The supply price is the sole determinant of what the supplier earns on each unit sold. GTE retains full control over the final retail price on the storefront.

This means:

- Suppliers do not need to monitor, research, or compete on retail pricing. Your margin is built into the supply price you quote — nothing more, nothing less.

- Suppliers bear no responsibility for the platform's retail pricing decisions, customer-facing promotions, or seasonal markdowns.

- GTE determines the final retail price based on market positioning, competitive benchmarking, and destination-market dynamics — and handles all customer-facing revenue entirely.

However, supply prices are not unchecked. GTE negotiates supply prices collaboratively and reserves the right to decline or request renegotiation of any supply price that would render the product uncompetitive or unsellable at a viable retail price point in the target market. A supply price that is too high relative to market comparables directly undermines the product's commercial viability — and in that case, the supplier bears the risk of unsold demand.

In short: you earn from the supply price, not from the retail price — but your supply price must be commercially defensible.

How does the product listing process work?

GTE operates a supplier-submission + platform-optimization model for product listings. The process is designed to balance supplier efficiency with storefront quality and regulatory compliance.

Step 1 — Supplier Submits Product Information via Mabang

The supplier provides the following required information through the Mabang portal:

- Product description and specifications (materials, dimensions, function, etc.)

- Size chart (where applicable)

- Inventory count per SKU

- Supply price per SKU

- Product images and any existing listing content

All information must be accurate and complete at the time of submission. Incomplete or placeholder submissions may delay review.

Step 2 — GTE Product Listing Team Review and Optimization

Once submitted, GTE's internal listing team reviews, refines, and enhances the product content. This includes:

- Improving product descriptions for clarity, accuracy, and cross-border market suitability

- Standardizing size charts to destination-market conventions

- Enhancing imagery guidelines and correcting formatting issues

- Setting the final retail price based on supply cost, market benchmarking, and competitive positioning

- Selecting the specific storefront(s) where the product will be activated

The supplier does not control final retail pricing or store placement — these are determined by GTE.

Step 3 — Listing Activated

Products that pass review are activated on the relevant GTE storefront(s). Products that do not meet quality or compliance standards may be returned to the supplier for revision before activation.

Supplier Accountability for Listing Information

The accuracy of the information submitted by the supplier is critical. If a customer complaint or return arises directly from inaccurate, misleading, or incomplete listing information provided by the supplier — such as incorrect material composition, inaccurate dimensions, wrong color descriptions, or non-compliant imagery — the supplier bears full responsibility.

In such cases:

- GTE may issue a refund or credit note for the affected units, deducted from the supplier's outstanding payments

- The incident is recorded and factored into the supplier's Performance Review (Section 5), potentially affecting tier status and payment terms

- Repeated or material inaccuracies may result in suspension of listing privileges or formal performance intervention

GTE's listing optimization does not relieve suppliers of accountability for the accuracy of the original information submitted. Suppliers are expected to provide thorough, honest, and market-appropriate product information from the outset.

What happens if a customer returns a product?

GTE manages all customer returns end-to-end. If a return is due to reasons not attributable to the supplier (change of mind, late delivery caused by GTE's logistics), GTE absorbs the cost. If a return is quality-related and attributable to the supplier's product or fulfillment error, GTE may issue a hold or deduction for the affected units. Full details are provided in Section 4 of this handbook.

Is there a penalty or fine system on GTE?

GTE does not operate a punitive fine system. Unlike other platforms that impose escalating financial penalties for operational errors or policy violations, GTE handles performance issues through the tiered supplier management system described in Section 5. Our approach is to give suppliers clear visibility into performance standards and ample opportunity to improve before any adverse action is taken.

What if my products do not perform well on other platforms?

GTE's category-open model means we accept products that other platforms may reject or restrict. If a product has been delisted, category-restricted, or consistently underperformed on Shein, Temu, Amazon, or AliExpress, GTE may still be the right platform for it. Bring your full catalog -- let the market decide.

However, GTE does not list products that cannot be transported via standard international air cargo routes under applicable international aviation, customs, and logistics regulations. This is a firm operational constraint — not a platform policy choice — and applies regardless of whether a product is legally sold in the origin or destination country.

Prohibited categories include, but are not limited to:

- Weapons, firearms, ammunition, and military-grade equipment (ITAR/EAR controlled items)

- Explosives, propellants, and pyrotechnic materials

- Flammable, oxidizing, or corrosive substances (including aerosol sprays above permissible pressure limits)

- Perishable goods — including but not limited to food and beverage products past or near their expiration date, live plants, and biological samples

- Lithium batteries exceeding IATA packing instruction limits for air transport

- Drones and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that are restricted or banned from import in destination markets, or that fall under ITAR/EAR jurisdiction

- Counterfeit, pirated, or gray-market goods that would be confiscated or subject to trademark enforcement action at customs

- Products requiring cold-chain or specialized temperature-controlled logistics that GTE does not currently support

- Any items listed on the IATA Dangerous Goods Regulations (DGR) prohibited list for air freight

This is not an exhaustive list. GTE reserves the right to decline any product that presents regulatory, logistical, or reputational risk. Suppliers are strongly encouraged to consult the GTE Prohibited Items Catalog or their dedicated account manager before listing a product that has been rejected on other platforms — rejection on another platform does not automatically mean it can be listed on GTE.
