Get started
From signing up to your first quote.
A self-serve account is live in minutes. This page is what to have ready before you start, so the setup wizard is quick rather than a scavenger hunt.
How it works
Four steps, no one else involved.
- 01
Sign up
Your name, work email, company and country. Choose Free to start at no cost, or a 14-day trial of Starter or Growth — no card either way.
- 02
Verify your email
A 6-digit code and a link arrive at once; either confirms the address. Your account is provisioned the moment it's verified.
- 03
The 6-screen setup
Company profile, document identity, currency and bank account, how you export, certifications you already hold, and your team — each screen is "save and continue" or "skip for now", so nothing blocks you from moving on.
- 04
Your first quote
Add a buyer and a product — from scratch or imported (see the templates below) — and the platform builds the document list and the landed-cost margin from what you've entered.
What to prepare
Have this on hand, and the setup takes minutes.
None of it is required to sign up — every setup screen can be skipped and finished later — but gathering it first means you fill each screen once, not twice.
Company legal profile
- Legal name exactly as on the commercial register, and your trading name
- Commercial Register no. and Tax Card no. / VAT no.
- Exporters' Registry card no. and its expiry (GOEIC) — some Investment-Law 72/2017 establishments are exempt
- Nafeza account and e-Token, where you already have one
- Registered address, phone, email and website
Document identity
- Your logo
- Company stamp and the authorised signatory's signature, as a transparent PNG, with name and title (optional — this enables facsimile signing)
- Your document language: English, Arabic, or bilingual
- Any numbering you already use, e.g. INV-2026-0001
Money
- Your base currency (this locks after your first order)
- One bank account per currency you invoice in: bank, beneficiary name exactly as on the account, account number, IBAN and SWIFT
Sites and stock
- The sites you ship from
- Any consolidation warehouses
- Opening stock, by product and by site
People
- Your team's emails, and each person's job — sales, operations, finance, compliance or logistics
Products
- Add from Expodite's product library, or name each product yourself: EN/AR name, HS code, unit, weights, dimensions, origin, packaging levels and cost
Buyers and suppliers
- Legal name, country, address and contacts
- Importer tax ID / EORI where applicable
- Default Incoterm, payment terms and currency
- Consignee and notify addresses
Trade defaults
- Your usual ports of loading, Incoterms and payment terms
- Preferred carriers and forwarders
- Your main markets
Certifications
- Each certificate you or your supplying farms and factories hold — HACCP, ISO 9001/22000, FSSC 22000, BRCGS, IFS, GLOBALG.A.P. (with its GGN), SMETA, organic, halal, and others
- For each one: certificate number, certification body, issue and expiry dates, next audit, grade, the sites and products it covers, and the certificate PDF
Import templates
Bring your existing spreadsheets in as a CSV.
Each template is a CSV with a UTF-8 byte-order mark, a header row and two worked examples, so you can see the expected shape before you fill it. Import them from inside your account once it's set up.
