Frequently Asked Questions

 
GETTING STARTED
How do I join Pathways?

Complete the free application form on this page — no credit card, takes 2 minutes. Our team reviews your submission and confirms your category and certifications within 7 days.

What happens after I'm approved?

We may request information to understand your products, target markets, and export readiness. Then you are ready to start receiving matched project notifications and can respond to RFQs.

MEMBERSHIP
Is Pathways really free?

Yes. Pathways membership is free. You receive educational content, project match notifications, and community access at no cost. Planitsell services — which give you a full platform presence — are optional and available at exclusive Pathways member rates.

What's the difference between Pathways and Planitsell?

Pathways is your free membership — it gets you into the Planitree community so you can receive project opportunities. Planitsell is the premium service layer: we build and manage your storefront, localise your product content, and provide ongoing export support. Think of Pathways as the foundation; Planitsell as the full build.

Does Planitree take commission on sales?

A small transaction fee applies to orders fulfilled through the Planitree platform. This covers carbon-neutral logistics, buyer verification, and platform operations. Fee details are provided during onboarding before you commit to anything.

 
REQUIREMENTS
What certifications do I need?

We welcome suppliers with recognised sustainability credentials — FSC, GECA, Cradle to Cradle, EPDs, PEFC, and equivalent standards. If you're working towards certification, speak to our team. We can advise on pathways to compliance that resonate in your target markets.

Do I need to communicate in multiple languages?

No. Planitree and Planitsell handle buyer communications and product localisation. You work in your language; we ensure your products are understood in the buyer's market.
