Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about using Gizye.
What is Gizye?
Gizye is a B2B marketplace that connects verified Ethiopian exporters with international buyers. Buyers discover suppliers and send sourcing inquiries; exporters manage a verified profile and respond to buyers directly.
Are the exporters on Gizye verified?
Company profiles are built from Ethiopia's official trade registry. Businesses that join must prove they control the listing through identity and phone verification, and many are reviewed by our team. Trust badges and valid-license status on a profile reflect that evidence.
Does it cost anything to use Gizye?
Browsing exporters, viewing profiles, and sending inquiries are free for buyers. Exporters can claim and manage their public profile at no cost.
How do I contact an exporter?
Open the exporter's profile and use the inquiry form to send a sourcing request. Your message opens a private conversation with the seller inside Gizye.
I own a business listed on Gizye. How do I manage it?
Use Claim a Listing to find your company and verify ownership by phone. Once verified, you can edit your profile, add products and certificates, and respond to buyer inquiries.
