Enterprise Vetting & Supplier Compliance
Eliminating ghost suppliers, procurement fraud, and unverified brokers. Every manufacturer, distributor, and wholesaler on Shoppage is vetted against official South African corporate, tax, and physical depot standards.
Verify a Supplier's Enterprise Credentials
Search any supplier by CIPC Registration Number, Company Name, or Depot Location to verify compliance standing.
1. CIPC Corporate Registry Vetting
Legally VerifiedEvery supplier on Shoppage must possess a verified legal entity registered with the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission (CIPC). We cross-reference active enterprise status, registered business names ((Pty) Ltd, CC, NPC), and verified directorships to prevent fraudulent ghost companies and shell entities.
2. SARS Tax PIN & 15% VAT Compliance
SARS VerifiedCommercial procurement requires audit-ready accounting. Shoppage verifies 10-digit South African Revenue Service (SARS) VAT registration numbers and active Tax Compliance Status (TCS). Every purchase order and proforma quote automatically generates a compliant tax invoice with itemized input VAT deductions.
3. Physical Depot & Warehouse Authentication
Site AuthenticatedWe eliminate anonymous online brokers who take money with no inventory. Suppliers must authenticate actual physical warehouses, factories, trade depots, or commercial showrooms across recognized South African trade hubs (Midrand, Crown Mines, City Deep, Jet Park, Epping, Durban Harbor).
4. B-BBEE Procurement Scorecard Recognition
Preferential ProcurementEnterprise procurement officers need verifiable supplier credentials for corporate scorecard reporting. Shoppage documents SANAS-accredited B-BBEE certificates and sworn affidavits (Level 1 through Level 4), providing the exact procurement recognition percentage (up to 135%) for corporate buyers.
5. SABS, CE & ICASA Technical Conformity
Standards VettedFor critical equipment including solar inverters, lithium batteries, electrical switchgear, and commercial packaging, Shoppage inspects SABS test certificates, NRCS Letters of Authority (LOA), and CE/ICASA type approvals. We ensure merchandise meets South African national grid regulations and safety standards.
