Handshake for Suppliers

Just applied again for like the 5th time. Got a response that I was denied within 2 minutes, not even exaggerating TWO minutes. So apparently I’m being auto denied now. It really makes no sense because I perfectly fit all the criteria. Based on all these reviews it doesn’t look I’m alone though. Not sure what kind of wholesale platform this is ‘supposed’ to be if they deny almost every wholesaler, but I’m starting to question if it’s even legit!

What's the point of offering if you deny everyone with no reason. It's bogus if you ask me. Save yourself dissapointment and move on to a different app or company. They no bueono....

I read all reviews and tried to apply. Yes, they were right. Just a couple of minutes later I got my rejection message. I really wonder what is your "criteria for selling" exactly. I think there is no Handshake platform :))))

A Shopify representative recommended I apply for Handshake in a chat where I was asking for help with the limits of draft orders. What a surprise, we were denied. I even went through the list of requirements and we meet all of them by quite a bit. Should have known better after reading all these reviews.

Good thing there are other wholesale apps. So disappointing.

I have applied with handshake and got rejected within minutes. No explanation just said I was not a match. Would really like to know the reason and what I can do to meet those requirements .

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

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.

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.
