Handshake for Suppliers

Yup- 2nd time applying and being turned down in 45 seconds. There is no way you looked at my website. I do not resell anything. Everything on my website can be personalized or customized. Your also the only wholesale platform that has turned me down. Others have sent me emails asking me to join. It took me longer to fill out your form than you gave me the courtesy of a look.

got denied to use handshake with no reason to explain why.. No I have to sell bulk in a very difficult way

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.

Absolutely no vetting for wholesalers. I clicked "submit application" and IMMEDIATELY received and email that said we were rejected. Do not even bother. You can be fully licensed and operational and they will still reject you. We are the only licensed provider of product in our state and they still reject it.

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 applied to sell on Handshake and was denied. However no reason was given but there are products similar to what I sell on their and yet I am denied for no reason. The communication is poor and I honestly love Shopify and thought this would be a great opportunity however I was very wrong. I wish there was reasoning provided to the denial.

All comments said true. It seem scam to collect your information. Worthless app I ever see. Waste your time to apply.

Immediate rejection....yes, looks like Shopify has some things to work on with this one!

We sell via Shopify, Faire, Abound, Hubventory, Tundra, Trada, FashionGo, and Dallas Market. But for some reason Handshake said we are "not a match." I was pretty shocked and confused to read that. It would be helpful if they provided a little more of an explanation.

We have an independent brand, producing our our unique products, and respect all of Handshake's requirements. Yet 3 weeks after applying, we got a reply that we were denied with NO REASON given. If you deny a supplier, you need to at least say WHY!!!
