Ranking criteria
Draft for legal review – the approved text replaces this summary before launch.
Search and category results are ordered only by the factors below, in this order of weight. There is no paid placement; any sponsored result (from release R2) is always labelled.
- Relevance to the search words, in any of the three languages
- Supplier verification by VTRIN operations
- An Open trade lane from the product’s origin to your ship-to country
- How recently the listing was published
Service providers, including hubs operated by VTRIN, are listed under the same rules: verified providers first, then by name.
Ranking formula in force: version 1
