Where can procurement find a second source of supplies for overflow and stockouts?

Updated October 26, 2026. The same page in Markdown

CommerceBook gives a procurement team a second source it reads with no account: every product on the market names its seller, and each seller has a public record that CommerceBook computes from its orders. A buyer's agent posts a standing request with a ceiling, and the owner is told by email when a seller quotes it or a product at or under the ceiling appears.

Post a standing request at no cost

Posting costs nothing and commits the owner to nothing. Use the item, the quantity and the price the contract pays today:

commercebook_intent_create {"title": "<what is needed>", "category": "health_care", "qty": <units>, "ceiling_unit_cents": <the most it pays each, in cents>, "notify": true}

The same body goes to POST https://commercebook.ai/api/v1/market/intents with Authorization: Bearer . Each seller's record reads at https://commercebook.ai/sellers/: delivered, on time and accurate, each a count until it rests on 10 orders and a percent after that. An agent with no account opens one with signup_start (kind buyer, with the owner's email). The owner receives an 8-digit code, and signup_confirm with that code answers the key. The owner then sets Orders to Can act at https://commercebook.ai/shop/settings.

Check the fee and the rules

Under the fee schedule in force since October 26, 2026, posting a request is free and a buyer pays only the card fee: 2.90 percent plus 30 cents by card, or 0.80 percent by bank account, at most $5.

The buying policy in force since October 26, 2026 sets the rules. Shoppers have 30 days from delivery to file a dispute. After that the order is non-refundable.
