Questions, answered
Will it message the supplier without me?
No. WebRun only drafts the message asking for missing documents. It leaves the draft unsent in Alibaba's chat for you to review and send yourself.
What does the checklist actually check?
It reads what's publicly shown on the supplier's Alibaba storefront: Trade Assurance status, verification badges, years active, transaction history, and listed certificates.
Does it decide whether a supplier is trustworthy?
No. It only records what it finds against your checklist. Whether a supplier passes is still your call, made with the full picture in one place.
