| Know before using | SwatchOn's supplier status, counts, and trust language describe its own marketplace and can change. They do not independently establish fibre identity, performance, certification validity, mill ownership, production capacity, colour continuity, delivery, duty, or commercial fit. Review samples, test data, current certificates, the contracting entity, order terms, and landed logistics before purchase. | A company result is not a blanket approval; confirm the certificate scope, validity, facility, process, product, and transaction documentation for the exact purchase. | The workflow is not a contract or quality certification; local legal duties and technical review may still apply. |

| What the source establishes | SwatchOn's current marketplace page exposes fabrics, trims, and prints, with swatch samples, in-stock catalogue colours, low-order-quantity options, and global logistics support. The page publishes operator-supplied marketplace and supplier counts and labels participating suppliers as verified partners. | The official GOTS search exposes certified entities by country, field of operation, product category, and certification detail, including processing and trading scopes. | The linked tool or guide is maintained inside Stitch Authority and was checked against its current public interface. |
