Handshake for Suppliers

Same experience as all other reviewers. You'll get declined in 2 minutes even though you qualify on all factors. Don't bother.

I agree with all the other reviewers. My "thoroughly reviewed" app was denied in about 2 minutes. What is the point???

I meet all of the criteria, but got instantly rejected. I have businesses looking to buy wholesale from my shop and it would be really nice to get them started ASAP. I might have to figure out something else. Kind of a bummer.

I recently decided to give Handshake another chance and applied to become a vendor on their platform for the third time. However, my experience with Handshake's seller app has been nothing short of frustrating and disappointing. Within minutes of submitting my application, I received another rejection notification. How can they claim to thoroughly review my product line in such a short amount of time? It's absolutely ridiculous and a complete joke!

First and foremost, the efficiency of Handshake's review process is highly questionable. How can they possibly evaluate the quality and potential of my products in just a matter of minutes? It's evident that Handshake prioritizes speed over accuracy, which raises serious doubts about their commitment to supporting small vendors like myself.

Furthermore, the lack of transparency throughout the application process is alarming. Handshake fails to provide any meaningful feedback or explanations for their rejections, leaving vendors in the dark about the reasons behind their decisions. As a vendor, I expect a fair and thorough assessment of my products, which should include constructive criticism and guidance for improvement. Sadly, Handshake falls short in this regard.

The whole point of an application process is to ensure that vendors are selected based on the quality of their products and their suitability for the platform. However, Handshake's hasty and impersonal rejections indicate a lack of genuine consideration for vendors. It's disheartening to see a platform that claims to support small businesses and entrepreneurs treat their potential vendors with such disregard.

In conclusion, my experience with Handshake's seller app has been frustrating and unproductive. Their rushed and insufficient review process, coupled with the lack of transparency and constructive feedback, makes it clear that Handshake is not committed to helping vendors succeed. If you're a small business owner looking for a fair and supportive platform, I highly recommend exploring other options. Handshake simply doesn't live up to its promises and is ultimately a disappointing choice for vendors.

Same as the others: auto rejected. Again. Don't even bother. Seems like an elitist, nit-picky group not unlike the self-aggrandizing bouncer at an exclusive club playing god on who gets past the velvet rope.

We recently applied to become vendors on Handshake, an experience that has regrettably been more frustrating than exciting. Handshake outlines a set of prerequisites that sellers must meet to be accepted. We diligently fulfilled each of these conditions, with the belief that we had followed their process meticulously.

Our excitement turned into disappointment two weeks later when our application was rejected on the grounds of not meeting the same requirements that we had painstakingly ensured to fulfill. The process lacked clarity and transparency, leaving us unsure of where we fell short.

We were further perplexed by their fine jewelry offerings, or rather the lack thereof. Our niche in fine jewelry does not seem overrepresented on their platform, so this couldn't have been a contributing factor to our application's rejection.

This opaque and inconsistent admissions process is not an isolated incident, as echoed by numerous other reviews we've come across. Such an experience presents a poor reflection on Handshake, as it raises questions about the transparency and reliability of their application process. This unfortunate encounter serves as a significant deterrent and has negatively impacted our view of Handshake.

I give this app one star because I am not able to see the app and I keep getting denied. I think it would be really helpful to let stores know why they get denied. Getting rejected instantly is not a real "review" process. Tell stores what criteria they didn't meet.

i've been on handskare from day one, and not a single sale. terrible wholesale page, not worth the time and effort that i've put in

They kept sending me the emails to show some low quality backyard joking work. Come on, show me so value to buy, not personal decor stuffs. This is a business and not your habit workshop. With 30+ year experience in fashion business, I can surely believe that the people behind this Handshake has no sense of business, nor fashion. just a group of jokers.

Terrible communication and customer response. I don't like leaving negative reviews, but a service like this should be able (at the very least) communicate with prospective merchants.
