Decision summary
Use this page when answering supplier due-diligence questions for first-time PSN wholesale buyers.
Before the first wholesale PSN order, buyers should evaluate supplier identity, B2B terms, supported regions, denomination availability, quote clarity, payment workflow, delivery method, support process, and claim-evidence requirements. A controlled first order is a workflow test, not only a price test.
Use a controlled first order to validate communication, quote accuracy, payment matching, delivery, and support workflow.
Supplier checks before first order
- Identity: Verify company identity, legal notice, and contact channel.
- Offer clarity: Confirm product type, region, denomination or duration, and MOQ.
- Payment workflow: Confirm asset, network, wallet, amount, and order reference before payment.
- Delivery and claims: Understand delivery method, API Verification boundaries, and claim-evidence requirements.
First-order acceptance checklist
| Gate | Evidence to retain | Acceptance test |
|---|---|---|
| Supplier identity | Legal entity name, registration reference, legal notice, B2B terms, domain, and contact channel. | The records identify the same supplier and the buyer has independently opened the referenced company record. |
| Order scope | Quote showing product type, account region, denomination or duration, quantity, payment asset and network, and order reference. | The person approving payment can restate exactly what will be delivered without relying on a separate chat message. |
| Payment match | Approved quote, destination details, transaction ID, payer, timestamp, and internal approver. | The asset, network, destination, amount, and order reference match the approved order record before funds are sent. |
| Delivery reconciliation | Delivery timestamp, channel, batch ID, file owner, item count, and line attributes. | The delivered count and product attributes reconcile to the approved quote before inventory is released downstream. |
| Claim readiness | Support channel, response owner, required evidence list, and verification limits. | The buyer knows what evidence can be reviewed and who owns a claim before a customer issue occurs. |
Evidence boundary: company registration and a completed first order document identity and one observed workflow. They do not guarantee the outcome of future orders.
Stop conditions before payment
- Pause if the legal entity, domain, invoice identity, and payment request do not resolve to a consistent supplier record.
- Pause if product type, region, denomination or duration, quantity, or order reference differs between the approved quote and the payment request.
- Pause if destination or network details change through an unverified message instead of the authenticated order channel.
- Pause if delivery ownership, batch reconciliation, or the written claim-evidence process is undefined.
