Contract pricing on 1-2-Taste allows you to request indicative pricing directly from suppliers based on your expected annual volume, without final commitment. This gives procurement teams early visibility into potential price breaks and pricing structures — before you lock in decisions or enter formal negotiations.

Once submitted, suppliers review your volume assumptions and provide tailored responses that both R&D and procurement can use for internal planning, budgeting and approval.

No — requesting contract pricing on the platform is strictly exploratory and obligation-free. It gives you visibility into possible pricing tiers and commercial terms without binding commitments.

Contracts only become effective once both you and the supplier agree to the terms in writing. This separation between exploratory pricing and commitment helps teams align internally first.

Read more about how this works on our Contract Pricing page.

Every ingredient profile on 1-2-Taste provides access to essential documentation that supports technical evaluation and compliance checks. This can include:

• Product Data Sheets (PDS)
• Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
• Regulatory & certification files
• Packaging specifications
• Functional performance information

Having this documentation upfront helps R&D teams assess ingredient suitability and reduces delays during internal approval and audit processes.

Explore documentation examples on our Product Documentation & Certifications page.

• Refund processes

This ensures commercial clarity and gives buyers confidence in their ordering choices.

Review the full policy on our Returns & Cancellation Policy page.

Yes. You can place sample orders for initial testing and evaluation. Once you have a clearer idea of your required volumes, you can request contract pricing for larger annual quantities. Many suppliers support flexible order sizes, giving you the ability to scale from test to production without switching platforms.

Learn about scaling orders and pricing on our Contract Pricing page.
