Marketplace referral partnerships

Help your clients enter marketplaces with fewer compliance surprises.

Watchdog works alongside ecommerce, logistics, testing and international expansion providers when a client needs Australian or New Zealand marketplace compliance support.

A complementary service

You keep the client relationship. We handle the agreed compliance work.

Partners often meet a business just before a store launches, stock ships, testing begins or a marketplace listing is attempted. That is also when unresolved product, evidence and marketplace requirements can delay the project.

Watchdog provides a clear, opt-in referral route without taking over the partner's core service.

Who we work alongside

One specialist pathway for six partner groups.

Ecommerce agencies

Keep the store, integration and growth work moving while Watchdog manages the Australian or New Zealand compliance workstream.

3PL and fulfilment providers

Give clients a compliance pathway before stock is committed, received or released for marketplace sale.

Customs brokers and freight forwarders

Keep customs and logistics work separate from the product, listing and post-entry compliance questions Watchdog handles.

Testing laboratories

Refer clients who need the applicable requirements identified, their existing evidence reviewed or a clearer testing brief.

Marketplace integrators

Help sellers address product restrictions, evidence gaps and compliance requests before listings are activated.

International expansion advisers

Add a specialist Australian and New Zealand consumer and product compliance workstream to the market-entry plan.

Simple and controlled

How the referral pathway works.

  1. 01

    Identify the compliance trigger.

    Your client is considering a marketplace, preparing stock, responding to a compliance request or unsure what evidence is required.

  2. 02

    Share your referral link.

    The client chooses whether to contact Watchdog and identifies the referring partner on the marketplace enquiry form.

  3. 03

    Watchdog scopes the work.

    We assess the proposed route and provide the client with a direct scope, timing and fixed-fee quote.

  4. 04

    Each party stays in its lane.

    Watchdog manages the agreed compliance work. You continue your agency, logistics, customs, testing, integration or expansion work.

Start with a pilot

Give clients a practical compliance route without adding another service to your team.

We propose a non-exclusive, opt-in 90-day pilot with no customer-list sharing and no commitment to refer a minimum number of clients.
