The story
Foursource launched in 2017 as a B2B sourcing network for apparel and textile brands and manufacturers, growing to become what it describes as the world's largest dedicated B2B network in its space. The platform expanded beyond directory and discovery to support full order management workflows including quoting, order placement, and secure payments. In 2025, the company integrated Mangopay as its embedded payments and wallet infrastructure layer, signaling a move toward monetizing financial flows between buyers and manufacturers on the platform.
