The problem
"We trade constantly, and a generic account doesn't quite match how we work"
"We're not a one-off seller. We're moving material regularly, and every time something doesn't quite fit the standard setup, I'm stuck raising a general support ticket and waiting like anyone else."
That's a fair frustration for a business with real, recurring volume. A partnership is the answer to it: not a different platform, but a different relationship with the same one.
Who this is actually for
Scrap yards and dealers
Businesses trading regularly, not just occasionally, who want ScrapTrade set up around how they actually operate.
Recyclers and processors
Teams sourcing specific grades at volume who'd benefit from a direct, ongoing line into the platform rather than starting from scratch each deal.
Brokers
Businesses connecting buyers and sellers who want to bring that network onto a platform built for how scrap actually trades.
Recognise your business in one of those? The next step is a conversation, not a form.
Talk to usWhat a partnership can actually include
- A dedicated point of contact instead of general support.
- Setup help tailored to your existing workflow, not a generic onboarding flow.
- Early access to new features before they roll out broadly.
- A direct line to request something ScrapTrade doesn't do yet.
The specifics depend on your business. There's no fixed published tier, because a fixed tier rarely fits every trading business equally well, and pretending otherwise would just mean forcing a generic shape onto something that shouldn't be generic.
How it works
Three steps, starting with a conversation
-
Tell us about your business
How you trade today, what volume looks like, and what's not working well with your current setup.
-
We figure out what fits
Partnership terms aren't one-size-fits-all. What actually makes sense for your business specifically gets discussed directly, not assigned from a menu.
-
We set it up together
Once the shape of it is agreed, your account gets configured and your team gets ready to trade.
The honest scope
"Do I actually need this, or is a free account enough?"
For most people, a free account is genuinely enough
Trading on ScrapTrade doesn't require a partnership. Most sellers and buyers do perfectly well on a standard account. This program exists specifically for businesses that want more than the self-serve experience offers, dedicated support, tailored setup, or terms suited to consistent volume, not as a gate in front of the regular platform.
Frequently asked questions
Is this different from just creating a free account?
Yes. You can start trading on ScrapTrade with a free account today, no partnership required. This program is for businesses that want more than the standard self-serve experience: dedicated support, tailored setup, or terms suited to consistent, high-volume trading.
Do you publish specific partnership terms or pricing?
No, deliberately. Every scrap or recycling business operates differently, so terms are worked out in a direct conversation rather than forced into a generic tier that might not actually fit how a particular business trades.
What if ScrapTrade doesn't have a feature my business needs yet?
Say so. Partner conversations are one of the main ways the platform hears about real gaps, and development is prioritised around what actual trading businesses need, not assumptions about what they might need.
How long does it take to become a partner?
It starts with a conversation, so the timeline depends on how quickly your business and its needs can be understood and a setup agreed. There's no fixed onboarding schedule to wait on.
