For manufacturers

List your products

Create a company profile, verify the business, add products, choose a plan, and go live on your own storefront. Verification is automatic: we check your business identity, website and contact details when you apply. Clean applications are approved and get the Verified badge right away. Applications with a red flag go to a short manual review before the storefront can go live. Accounts and checkout come later. Payment is not collected on this form.

How listing works

  1. 1. Create a company profileLegal name, location (country, state, city), contact, and the categories you supply.
  2. 2. Verify the businessVerification is automatic: we check your business identity, website and contact details when you apply. Clean applications are approved and get the Verified badge right away. Applications with a red flag go to a short manual review before the storefront can go live.
  3. 3. Add productsName, category, specifications, photos, a listed price, minimum order quantity, lead time, shipping regions, certifications, and manuals. Each item has a condition: new, used, or refurbished. Used and refurbished items must include seller condition notes. Sellers list a fixed price; buyers check out with Buy Now. Until checkout opens, Buy Now leads to sign-in and an honest notice that checkout opens soon — no charge is made.
  4. 4. Choose a planA manufacturer ad, a platform fee only on completed eligible sales, and optional digital manuals with verified rights. Details are below.
  5. 5. Go liveWhen your application is approved — automatically if it is clean, or after a short manual review if it was flagged — sign in and add products at /account/products. Your storefront is published at /manufacturers/<slug> when a listing goes live, and you manage your own listings there.

Each manufacturer gets its own storefront page and manages its own listings. A directory will list verified storefronts when they open. No manufacturers are listed yet. You can review an example storefront layout — it is labeled as an example and is not a real company.

Verified badge and review

A Verified badge is granted automatically when a seller application is clean. Verification is automatic: we check your business identity, website and contact details when you apply. Clean applications are approved and get the Verified badge right away. Applications with a red flag go to a short manual review before the storefront can go live. Licensing and rights for software, programs, and manuals are still checked before those goods can be sold. I NEED A ROBOT does not list weapons, munitions, or military/defense equipment. This page does not show any real review results.

Pricing

There is no live checkout on this site yet. These are the planned fees. When checkout opens, payments will use Stripe Connect destination charges so the seller is paid right away and the platform never holds funds. This page does not open a payment.

Manufacturer ad

$25 per 30 days

A 30-day manufacturer ad, the same rate as shipping partner ads. Ads are labeled clearly. Payment details will be sent after an inquiry is approved.

Sales commission

3% (10% on parts)

A 3% platform fee applies only on completed eligible sales, except Robot & Drone Parts, which carry a 10% fee on each completed parts sale. When checkout opens, payments will use Stripe Connect destination charges: the buyer pays, the seller is paid right away by Stripe, and the fee is taken automatically. I NEED A ROBOT does not hold funds. Refunds are handled by the seller. The fee is not charged just for listing a product or discovering a listing.

Digital manuals

$4.99

Digital manuals may be sold at $4.99 when licensing and rights have been verified. Unverified manuals cannot be sold.

A 3% platform fee applies only to eligible sales completed on the platform, except Robot & Drone Parts, which carry a 10% fee on each completed parts sale. When checkout opens, payments will use Stripe Connect destination charges: the buyer pays, the seller is paid right away by Stripe, and the fee is taken automatically. I NEED A ROBOT does not hold funds. Refunds are handled by the seller. This site does not give legal advice.

Sellers agree at sign-up to a non-circumvention rule: if you first connect through I NEED A ROBOT, any resulting purchase or order for the same or related items or services within 24 months must be completed on the platform (Buy Now / checkout), or the seller owes the platform fee that would have applied (3%, or 10% for parts). Off-platform contact sharing before an order is prohibited. This is a plain-language draft pending attorney review.
