# Using SaleHoo to Find Trusted Manufacturers

Want to bring your own unique product ideas to life? Finding the right manufacturing partner is one of the most important steps in building a scalable, long-term e-commerce brand. Inside your SaleHoo account, we make it easy to connect directly with verified manufacturers so you can customize your products, control your branding, and confidently scale your production.

To find manufacturers inside your single, unified dashboard:

1. Head over to the supplier search section and enter your product keyword (for example, "sunglasses") into the search bar.
2. Filter your results by navigating to the **Supplier Type** option and selecting **Manufacturer**. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/3/5/0/a350fa6ebd233000/image_15ixlo7.png)
3. Refine your results further by selecting specific supplier locations, whether a supplier ships worldwide, or minimum order costs to find your ideal match.
4. Toggle between the **Products** view to see individual items or the **Suppliers** view to review detailed manufacturer profiles. ![](https://storage.crisp.chat/users/helpdesk/website/-/a/3/5/0/a350fa6ebd233000/image_19ox2lu.png =250x400)
Before moving forward with a large production run, you should always message multiple suppliers to compare pricing and capabilities. You can contact manufacturers directly through our built-in chat feature, email, or phone. Be sure to ask about their minimum order quantities (MOQs), sample costs, lead times, and whether they can support custom designs or provide compliance certifications like FDA or CE.
