Vendor Approval Process

How a vendor goes from application to live listings on I Want Clones, in order. Approval comes first: nothing is listed without written approval.

01 Application

Fill out the vendor application with your business details, vendor type, and what you plan to sell. The form also covers the genetics you own or control, your inventory, shipping, and payment terms, and it ends with your electronic signature. Required fields are marked, and documents upload as PDF, JPG, or PNG files.

02 Documents

The application asks for verification documents, licensing details, and a description of your plant-health practices. The IWC admin team reviews all of it. Testing is up to each vendor: the form asks whether you test, and test results are optional.

  • Your IPM protocol and quarantine procedure for incoming genetics (required)
  • Business registration, licenses, and W-9 or tax documents (optional)
  • Test results, if you test (optional)

03 Vendor profile

The application also covers how you ship and handle claims, and it sets up your public vendor profile with one sample cultivar listing.

  • A public brand bio and a square store logo (required)
  • Facility, clone tray, or mother room photos (optional)
  • Sample cultivar photos (optional)

04 Review

The IWC team reviews your submission, including your documents and identity verification, to make sure it aligns with IWC compliance standards and operational requirements.

05 Approval and onboarding

Only vendors who get written approval can list. Approved vendors get onboarding guidance, access to the vendor dashboard, and the Vendor Onboarding Package with the full commercial terms. Legal name, address, tax details, and payout information are collected at onboarding.

06 Listing and selling

Create listings with product information, pricing, and availability from your vendor dashboard, then start receiving orders through IWC's secure checkout. Approved vendors follow the Vendor Standards, and performance metrics, reviews, response time, claim rate, and fulfillment quality may affect marketplace visibility.
