Paid tiers unlock unlimited connections, additional content, training credits, and the CO Create sourcing workflow. Businesses enter their own profile information and upload certification or membership evidence; profile completeness, sustainability material, training credits, awards, and paid capabilities can influence visibility or ranking. ### Know before using A profile, match, uploaded credential, training credit, award, or platform ranking is not independent certification of a supplier or proof of current capability, performance, impact, capacity, or project fit. The platform's own ranking inputs and paid visibility affect discovery. Verify credentials with the issuer and check the legal entity, production site, claims, samples, references, terms, and compliance directly. ### Account, payment, and exit - Access scope: Fashion professional or supplier using content, profiles, connections, or a sourcing workflow. - Before an account: Public content and explanation pages are visible while signed out; profiles, personalized matches, saved items, and connections require signup. - Free-account boundary: A free account provides a personal or business profile, limited monthly connections, free content, and up to three portfolio items. - Payment boundary: PRO adds unlimited connections, paid content and training, more profile capacity, and business sourcing workflows.
