Sourcing Services & Digital Guides
ℹ️ Canton Market is an independent information platform — not a trading company, not affiliated with any market or fair organizer. Our free guides stay free; the paid products below fund deeper research. We never sell your data.
Everything on this site — market guides, sourcing checklists, calculators — is free and stays free. For buyers who want the distilled, printable, take-to-Guangzhou version, we are preparing a small set of digital products. No subscriptions, no upsells on the free content.

Frequently asked questions
When will the digital guides be available?+
We are building them now, starting with the Guangzhou Sourcing Playbook. Leave us a note via the inquiry form and we will email you the moment the first guide launches — early buyers get founding-member pricing. Until then, all of our market guides, sourcing checklists, and tools remain completely free.
How does featured placement for suppliers work?+
Suppliers and service providers (agents, QC inspectors, freight forwarders) can reserve a featured slot on relevant pages. Every featured placement is clearly labeled "Sponsored" or "Featured", visually separated from editorial content, and never affects our market rankings or guide recommendations. Contact hello@cantonmarket.org for the media kit.
Do you sell my data?+
Never. We do not sell, rent, or share personal data with anyone — that is also how we fund the free content: through future digital guides and clearly-labeled featured placements, not through your data. See our privacy policy for the full details.
